Donald Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) includes legislation stripping states of the ability to regulate artificial intelligence for a decade."Full transparency, I did not know about this section on pages 278-279 of the OBBB that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years," Greene wrote on X on Tuesday, January 3. "I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of state rights, and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there."
"We have no idea what AI will be capable of in the next 10 years and giving it free rein and tying states hands is potentially dangerous," she continued. "This needs to be stripped out in the Senate."

Democratic lawmakers quickly slammed Marjorie Taylor Greene, as reading bills is a part of her professional responsibilities."You have one job. To. Read. The. F******. Bill," Congressman Eric Swalwell replied.
Ted Lieu noted that the portion on AI is "one reason I voted no on the GOP's big, ugly bill."
"PRO TIP: It's helpful to read stuff before voting on it," he added.

Marjorie Taylor Greene previously publicly criticized peers who had concerns about the legislation, and many congress members noted that she apparently rushed to support Donald Trump without doing her due diligence."Read the f****** bill instead of clapping for it like a performing monkey," Mark Pocan bluntly said. "You should have done your job while it was written. You didn't. You own that vote."

According to The Guardian, the bill's section on AI was added two days before its markup, and Marjorie Taylor Greene wasn't the only supportive Republican unaware of the provision."I am not going to hide the truth: this provision was unknown to me when I voted for that bill," Nebraska representative Mike Flood revealed after being booed by his constituents at a town hall meeting.
"You voted for all of it," one audience member reportedly heckled.

After he left his role at DOGE, Elon Musk criticized lawmakers for supporting Donald Trump's signature legislation."I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore," the tech tycoon told X followers on Tuesday, June 3. "This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it."
