Elon Musk, President Trump's former chief of DOGE, held nothing back over his opposition to the Republicans' "Big Beautiful Bill" Tuesday, posting on his platform X that is outrageous and "a disgusting abomination."
Wrote Musk: "I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it."
Besides increasing spending, the bill raises the federal debt ceiling by $5 trillion. U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., one of two GOP votes against the bill in the House had a two-word reply to Musk's post: "He's right."
In recent days, Musk has distanced himself from the administration, both officially and in his comments about the massive spending bill.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked about Musk's post during Tuesday's press briefing, dismissing the complaint and emphasizing that President Trump is "sticking to" his promotion of the bill, which the House passed and is pending in the U.S. Senate.
Meanwhile, Trump is slamming Republican senators who have vowed not to support the bill, Tuesday targeting Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky.
"Rand votes NO on everything, but never has any practical or constructive ideas," Trump posted Tuesday on Truth Social. "His ideas are actually crazy (losers!). The people of Kentucky can't stand him. This is a BIG GROWTH BILL!"
Paul posted earlier, "I want to see the tax cuts made permanent, but I also want to see the $5 trillion in new debt removed from the bill. At least 4 of us in the Senate feel this way."
