Musk torches Trump funds invoice: ‘Disgusting abomination’

Elon Musk on Tuesday tore into the large tax-and-spending-cut invoice subsidized by way of President Donald Trump, calling it a “disgusting abomination” that can explode federal funds deficits.

“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” Musk wrote in a put up on his social media website online X.

“This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,” added the Tesla and SpaceX CEO.

“Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.”

Musk led the Trump management’s DOGE effort to chop executive spending and waste till final week, when his time period as a brief “special government employee” expired.

Musk added in a follow-up put up that the invoice “will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt.”

The White House temporarily shrugged off the grievance from Musk, a vocal Trump supporter who spent over $250 million backing Trump’s 2024 presidential marketing campaign.

“Look, the president already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt mentioned when requested in regards to the put up.

“It doesn’t change the President’s opinion. This is one big, beautiful bill, and he’s sticking to it,” she mentioned.

Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, a fiscal hawk and one among simplest two Republicans to vote in opposition to the House model of Trump’s invoice, wrote, “He’s right,” according to Musk’s put up.

Musk responded to Massie: “Simple math.”

Earlier Tuesday, Trump lashed out at Sen. Rand Paul after the Kentucky Republican criticized the invoice’s provision to boost the debt ceiling by way of trillions of greenbacks.

Trump accused Paul of failing to needless to say the invoice would spur “tremendous GROWTH.”
