US EditionMusk criticizes Trump bill over abrupt end to energy tax credits
- Elon Musk criticized a Republican-led House bill passed in late May 2025 that abruptly ends energy tax credits in the U.S., threatening clean energy incentives.
- The bill emerged amid partisan debates, with the House passing it unanimously among Republicans and President Trump supporting it, while Senate opposition and Democratic resistance persist.
- The legislation would eliminate $522 billion in tax incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act, roll back renewable energy support, and favor traditional energy sources like nuclear and fossil fuels.
- Musk stated that abruptly ending credits would threaten grid reliability and urged a sensible wind down of solar-related incentives, while Tesla’s energy division noted steady growth despite the policy risks.
- Experts warn the bill could raise electricity costs by 10%, jeopardize 790,000 jobs, increase reliance on foreign energy, and slow U.S. Clean energy manufacturing, implying significant long-term impacts.
