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.
