US EditionMusk calls Trump's mega tax and spending bill a "disgusting abomination"
- Elon Musk publicly condemned President Trump's tax and spending bill as a "disgusting abomination" on June 3, 2025, via social media posts on X.
- Musk's criticism followed his recent resignation from the Department of Government Efficiency and stemmed from frustration over unfulfilled policy promises and the bill's removal of electric vehicle tax credits.
- The legislation, passing the House narrowly and projected to add between $2.5 trillion and $3.8 trillion to federal debt, has faced backlash from conservatives, fiscal hawks, and some Republican senators.
- Musk stated the bill would burden citizens with "crushingly unsustainable debt" and urged voters to fire politicians who betrayed the public, while White House officials defended the bill as "one big, beautiful bill."
- Musk's public denouncement appears to widen his political rift with Trump, signaling reduced influence in Washington and increasing pressure on lawmakers amid ongoing Senate negotiations.
