Elon Musk made headlines with his scathing critique of President Donald Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’ condemning it as a ‘disgusting abomination’ just days after distancing himself from the administration.
Expressing his dismay on social media platform X, Musk didn’t mince words: ‘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.’
Concerns Over Budget Deficit
The tech mogul, previously considered for a role in the Department of Government Efficiency, lambasted the bill for potentially ballooning the budget deficit to $2.5 trillion, burdening Americans with ‘crushingly unsustainable debt.’
Senate Scrutiny Looms
As the bill heads to the Senate following a narrow House approval, Musk’s sharp criticism stands out against Trump’s earlier praise of the legislation as historically significant.
White House Response
Despite Musk’s public opposition, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt downplayed the rift, noting that the president was aware of Musk’s stance and that it wouldn’t alter Trump’s view.
Elon Musk’s vocal disapproval of Trump’s flagship bill showcases a significant divergence between the two figures, marking a notable shift in their relationship.
