Elon Musk Calls Trump s Big, Beautiful Bill a Disgusting Abomination – WSJ

WASHINGTON Former White House cost-cutting czar Elon Musk called President Trump s big, beautiful tax-and-spending package a disgusting abomination, stepping up his criticism just as the Senate is trying to quickly pass the measure and get it signed into law by July 4.

Musk s comments are his latest sharp words about the package, which includes tax cuts as well as reductions to spending on Medicaid and food assistance. Last month, he gave new fuel to GOP critics of the Republicans multitrillion-dollar agenda, saying that the current measure failed to reduce the federal deficit. 

Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it, said Musk, in comments on his X social-media platform. Musk, who left the administration last week, called the package a massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill. He issued a warning on the midterm elections: In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people.

This immense level of overspending will drive America into debt slavery! he wrote in an overnight post.

The so-called big, beautiful bill doubtless includes a lot of egregious pork. How could it not?
