Elon Musk Condemns President Trump’s Signature Budget Bill, Calls It “Abomination”

On Tuesday, just days after leaving his post in the Trump administration, Musk launched yet another broadside against the legislation, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill.

United States Billionaire, Elon Musk, has renewed his criticisms of US President Donald Trump’s signature budget bill, calling it a “disgusting abomination” in a series of social media posts.

On Tuesday, just days after leaving his post in the Trump administration, Musk launched yet another broadside against the legislation, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill.

The bill would extend tax cuts established in 2017, during Trump’s first term, and funnel more funds to his administration’s priorities, including $46.5 billion for the construction of barriers at the US border with Mexico.

“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,” he shared on his official X handle.

“It will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt,” Musk said in one post. In another, he wrote, “Congress is making America bankrupt.”

Musk, who just resigned from the Trump administration, remains an ally of the United States government.

However, he has not hidden his interest in cutting the costs of governance — though his moves have been termed controversial, leading to protests across the country.

Donald Trump has yet to respond to Musk’s condemnation, and it remains unclear whether he will attack his ally or play down the comments.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has praised Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for courageously challenging her suspension from the Senate, describing her action as a bold assertion of her rights and a victory for democracy.

Ekwutosblog recalls that Senator Natasha challenged her six-month suspension before the High Court, where Justice Binta Nyako delivered the judgment on Friday.

She ruled that the suspension was excessive and deprived the lawmaker’s constituents of their right to representation.

 

In a statement posted on his official Facebook page on Friday, Atiku also commended Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja for what he called a courageous ruling that lifted what he termed the “obnoxious” suspension imposed on the senator representing Kogi Central.

“I also hail Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan for challenging the illegality of her suspension by not sleeping on her rights in a chamber where women are already vulnerable. There’s no price that is too great in asserting one’s rights,” the former Vice President added.

According to the statement, the hideout had been under surveillance for some time after it was identified as a den for hardened criminals involved in trafficking hard drugs, illegal arms, and other violent crimes that posed a threat to public safety.

During the operation, several suspects were apprehended and handed over to relevant security agencies for interrogation and prosecution.

“Our message is clear: Imo State will not be a safe haven for criminals. We are going after every syndicate, every drug peddler, and every gun runner. No one is above the law, and no criminal enterprise will be tolerated,” Hon. Nwaneri stated during the demolition.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Friday said a chieftain of the opposition coalition is “pained” that President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President Godswill Akpabio and other top government dignitaries are commissioning projects across Abuja.

He made the remark in response to claims by a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Rotimi Amaechi, that Nigerians are angry with Tinubu’s administration.

Amaechi had made the remark during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today last night.

However, Wike rubbished Amaechi’s claim, during the commissioning of the Newly Rehabilitated Aguma Palace-Radio Nigeria-New Market Road in the Gwagwalada area council of the FCT.

He said: “Mr President, it is the 16th day [that] you have devoted time to personally participate in the commissioning ceremony and I never knew that people were so pained that so many things were going on very well in the FCT until last night when I was watching Politics Today that I saw one of the presidential aspirants of coalition so pained.

“He was so pained by the fact that Mr President, Vice President, Senate President, Senate President, Speaker, SGF, are coming to commission projects, yet they said that Nigerians are angry.

“Gwagwalada people, are you angry? It’s important to ask you this question so that we will hear from Nigerians.”
