Elon Musk 'disappointed' by the cost of Trump's tax bill, says it undermines DOGE work

Elon Musk attended a White House cabinet meeting on April 30, where President Trump discussed his tax bill.
Musk criticized the bill for increasing the budget deficit and undermining his Department of Government Efficiency .
The tax bill, narrowly approved by the House, features tax reductions and increased immigration enforcement but is projected to increase the national debt by nearly $3.8 trillion over the next ten years.
Musk said, "I think a bill can be big or it could be beautiful, but I don't know if it can be both," expressing disappointment in the "massive spending bill."
Musk is stepping back from government work to focus on Tesla, while the bill faces continued Senate debate and concerns about its fiscal impact persist.
