Elon Musk Critiques Trump’s Tax and Spending Bill
Elon Musk publicly criticized President Trump’s “big, beautiful” tax and spending bill, labeling it a “disgusting abomination” and expressing concern over its potential to increase the budget deficit by $2.5 trillion. The bill, passed by the House, includes significant tax breaks and increased defense spending while allowing the government to raise its borrowing limit to $4 trillion. Musk’s comments highlight internal Republican tensions regarding the legislation, which Trump is pushing to pass by July 4, despite dissent from figures like Senator Rand Paul.
