After stepping down from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Elon Musk is publicly attacking the President’s “big, beautiful” bill.
In a post on the social media platform X, the platform which he owns, Musk urges Americans to contact their representatives to prevent Trump’s plan from “bankrupting America.”
-->“Call your Senator,
Call your Congressman,
Bankrupting America is NOT ok!
KILL the BILL.”
According to Musk, Trump’s highly self-touted economic plan is a “disgusting abomination.”
“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore.
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.”
Furthermore, Musk says the shortcomings of Trump’s bill are significant enough to require the entire document to be redrafted.
“A new spending bill should be drafted that doesn’t massively grow the deficit and increase the debt ceiling by 5 TRILLION DOLLARS.”
Musk’s opposition to a budget plan that increases the debt ceiling should come as little surprise. The former DOGE head has long publicly stated that America’s growing debt will ultimately lead to financial ruin.
“DOGE has and will do great work to postpone the day of bankruptcy of America, but the profligacy of government means that only radical improvements in productivity can save our country.”
According to a NBC News report, during a bilateral meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump had the following to say about his former ally:
“I’m very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill. I’m very disappointed in Elon. I’ve helped Elon a lot…
Elon’s upset because we took the EV (electric vehicle) mandate, which was a lot of money for electric vehicles and they’re having a hard time with electric vehicles and they want us to pay billions of dollars in subsidy. Elon knew this from the beginning.”
However, according to Musk, Trump wouldn’t even be president without him.
“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate.”
