The triple "B" is about foolishly putting US into deeper debt, while

Triple B eliminated EV benefits for EV companies, which Elon needs

Why Tesla now needs the EV tax credit that Musk once said should go
away 

It wasn't long ago that Tesla CEO Elon Musk was advocating for ending
the $7,500 tax credit for buyers of electric vehicles.

"Take away the subsidies. It will only help Tesla," he said in a post
on his social media platform X last year, adding "Also remove the
subsidies from all industries!"

I'm not sure what Elon is pissed about...deficit spending and/or
removal of EV subsidies.

Tesla's CFO would know how hard eliminating EV subsidies would affect
Tesla's bottom line.
