Musk-Trump Battle Erupts Anew over Republican Spending Bill

  • On Wednesday, Elon Musk publicly denounced President Donald Trump’s $5 trillion tax-and-spending bill and threatened to launch the America Party to oppose it and fund primary challengers.
  • The Senate narrowly approved the $5 trillion bill in a 51–49 vote, including record debt increases and rollback of green energy tax breaks, prompting Musk's criticism.
  • Tesla’s market cap plunged by $150 billion, while the Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill would add $3.3 trillion to the deficit over a decade, risking millions of jobs and economic stability.
  • In response, Trump hinted at deporting Musk, suggested cutting Tesla subsidies, and quipped about sending DOGE to 'eat Elon' amid escalating tensions.
  • More broadly, Musk’s potential reentry into political spending could reshape party alignments and spark the emergence of the 'America Party' amid growing voter scrutiny of congressional debates.
