POWER SCHISM: Pork-filled disgusting abomination – Musk on Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ | RT Report
Pork-filled disgusting abomination – Musk on Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’
The former White House government efficiency czar has repeatedly slammed the legislation as wasteful
Tech billionaire and former White House efficiency czar Elon Musk has blasted US President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful” tax bill as overspending and a “disgusting abomination.”
- Trump’s centerpiece bill narrowly passed in the House of Representatives last week and will need to go before the Senate.
- The legislation aims to prevent an end-of-year tax increase and raises the limit on the already staggering US debt by a further $4 trillion.
Musk, who recently stepped down as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has repeatedly criticized the bill, claiming it compromises his efforts to trim the fat off the federal budget.
“I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,”
---- he wrote on X on Tuesday.
“Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it,” he added.
In an interview with CBS news last week, Musk stressed that the legislation “undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,” as it “increases the budget deficit.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson disagreed with Musk’s assessment, saying
that the bill would instead secure $1.6 trillion in savings, reduce
spending, and provide tax relief.
“With all due respect, Elon is simply wrong about the One Big Beautiful Bill,” he told the press on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, adding that “Congress is working hard to get this to President Trump’s desk by July 4th.”
When asked about Musk’s criticism of the bill, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt replied that Trump is aware of the former presidential advisor’s position on the matter. “It doesn't change the president’s opinion,” she told the press on Tuesday.
