Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk has intensified his criticism of the legislative agenda of US President Donald Trump, describing a major expense bill as “hateful hatred” in a series of posts on social media platform X.
Technical billionaire, who recently played his role while overseeing government proficiency reforms, condemned the law-passed law on Tuesday, wrote: “It is a disgusting disgusting of the Bill, the spending of the Congress-filled Congress spending on a large scale, derogatory, pork.
Musk followed her initial criticism with additional positions, claiming that the bill claims that “the already huge budget would increase the deficit to 2.5 trillion USD” and suggests that “the Congress is making America insolvency.”
The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” expanded Trump’s 2017 tax deduction, increasing military and border security expenses. However, it also cuts medicade, food aid programs and other social assistance schemes.
According to the budget office of the Nonpartison Congress, the law will add around 3.8 trillion USD to the current USD 36.2 trillion loans in the next decade.
The Senate conversation on the bill is currently underway, Trump personally advocated Senator to support their broad legislative package.
White House press secretary Karolin Levit reduced the importance of criticism of Musk during Tuesday’s briefing.
“The President already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill. It does not change the opinion of the President. It is a big, beautiful bill, and he is clinging to it,” he said.
Musk initially expressed disappointment with the spending package citing concerns about the lack of budget and its impact on government efficiency efforts.
The billionaire later announced his departure from the Trump administration, leaving his role as a “special government employee” with the government’s efficiency department.
During a Friday press conference at the Oval Office, Trump praised the law, as “an incredible bill”, “cuts your deficit,” although he suggested that he would like “a big cut in taxes”.
Musk did not address his criticism of the bill during that appearance. (AI)
