Ex-Doge disruptor Elon Musk isn’t holding anything back. In a series of scorching posts on X, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO lit into Congress for passing what he calls a “massive, outrageous, pork-filled” spending bill—and he didn’t stop there.
Musk is now unloading on what Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” calling it a financial catastrophe in the making. While Trump once championed large-scale spending as part of his broader economic and infrastructure strategy, Musk made it clear he sees nothing beautiful about the latest legislation.
“This bill is a disgusting abomination,” Musk posted, adding that those who voted for it “know they did wrong.”
The legislation, totaling $2.5 trillion, has sparked backlash across the political spectrum for what critics say is unnecessary government waste tucked into an already bloated budget. Musk echoed that sentiment, warning that it will “massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit” and bury Americans under “crushingly unsustainable debt.”
With the national deficit soaring past $34 trillion, Musk’s criticism isn’t just a celebrity rant—it reflects growing concern among taxpayers and economists about Washington’s financial decisions.
This isn’t Musk’s first time weighing in on federal policy, but it might be his most direct jab yet—taking aim at both lawmakers and the legacy of big-ticket spending bills. And for those in power who thought the backlash would blow over? Elon Musk just turned up the volume.
