WASHINGTON, DC – Elon Musk has launched a blistering attack on President Donald Trump’s proposed tax and spending bill, calling it a “disgusting abomination” and warning that it would deepen America’s financial woes. Musk, posting on X (formerly Twitter), condemned the legislation for ballooning the U.S. budget deficit and placing a “crushing” debt burden on citizens.
The controversial bill, which includes major tax breaks and a sharp increase in defense spending, recently passed the House of Representatives and is now being debated in the Senate. Trump has championed the legislation as a cornerstone of his second-term agenda, should he win the 2024 election.
Musk, who left the Trump administration on May 31 after 129 days leading the controversial and unpopular DOGE, had previously described the bill as “disappointing.” His latest comments mark his first public break with Trump since his departure, the BBC noted.
Musk declared, “Shame on those who voted for it,” and even suggested backing campaigns to unseat lawmakers responsible for its passage in the 2026 midterms.
In a June 3 thread on X, Musk denounced the bill as “outrageous” and “pork-filled,” estimating it would push the deficit to $2.5 trillion. He also warned lawmakers, “In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people.”
The backlash underscores deepening divisions within the Republican Party. While Trump and his allies promote the bill as essential for economic revitalization and national security, others—like Musk—view it as fiscally irresponsible.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, a key Trump ally, defended the bill and pushed back on Musk’s remarks. “My friend Elon is terribly wrong,” he told reporters. “It’s a very important first start. Elon is missing it,” according to the BBC.
As Senate debate continues, Musk’s high-profile denunciation may galvanize opposition within the party—and potentially influence the fate of a bill that has already sparked intense debate across Washington.
