The bill will now move to the Senate for consideration.<br>   The&nbsp;legislation&nbsp;passed by a vote of 366 in favor to 34 against, with 196 Democrats and 170 Republicans supporting the bill. All Democrats except one &mdash; Rep.&nbsp;Jasmine Crockett&nbsp;(Texas), who voted present &mdash; voted yes.<br>    The measure would fund the government at current levels until March 14, and contains provisions for allocating roughly $100 billion to relief efforts to aid Americans in hurricane recovery and other natural disasters in the past two years, and $10 billion in aid to farmers.<br>  Earlier this week, <a  href="https://www.rollingstone.com/t/elon-musk/"  id="auto-tag_elon-musk"  data-tag="elon-musk"  >Elon Musk</a>, self-described &ldquo;<a  rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow"  target="_blank"  href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/04/business/zuckerberg-trump-musk-tech-nightcap/index.html"  >First Buddy</a>&rdquo; of President-elect&nbsp;<a  href="https://www.rollingstone.com/t/donald-trump/"  >Donald Trump</a>, attacked the proposed funding in a direct challenge to Republican House Speaker&nbsp;<a  href="https://www.rollingstone.com/t/mike-johnson/"  >Mike Johnson</a>, who rolled out the sweeping plan on Tuesday that included provisions to cut prescription drug costs and curb private-sector investment to China.    <div class="admz" id="adm-inline-article-ad-1">                     <div class="adma boomerang" data-device="Desktop" data-width="300">                  <div style="min-width:50px;min-height:75px;"   class="pmc-adm-boomerang-pub-div ad-text"   data-priority="10" >    <div id="gpt-dsk-tab-article-inbody-uid0"       class="adw-300 adh-250" data-is-adhesion-ad="">         <script type="application/javascript">
