Elon Musk berates Trump’s spending bill as ‘disgusting abomination’

Musk

Elon Musk has publicly condemned President Donald Trump’s proposed spending bill, calling it an “outrageous, pork-filled, disgusting abomination” just days after his departure from a White House advisory role, The Independent UK reported.

The billionaire entrepreneur, who recently completed a 130-day stint as a special government employee leading the Department of Government Efficiency, voiced his disapproval in a post on X on Tuesday.

Musk sharply criticised the bill’s projected impact on the federal deficit, warning it would push the budget shortfall to $2.5trn and leave American citizens with an “unsustainable” debt burden.

“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.

“It will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America (sic) citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt,” Musk posted on X Tuesday.

The spending bill, championed by Trump and currently under Senate debate, aims to slash taxes while increasing expenditures on oil drilling, the military, and border security. It also includes significant cuts to Medicaid and food assistance programmes. Punch
