Elon Musk takes aim at Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’ in a blistering statement released days after leaving the White House

Elon Musk Slams Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’

Days After Exiting White House Role, Musk Breaks His Silence

Just days after leaving his White House post, Elon Musk publicly blasted Donald Trump’s controversial new legislation, known as the ‘big beautiful bill.’

End of the DOGE Era

Musk stepped down from his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on May 30. His tenure, which began in January, was marked by tension. Despite challenges, Musk remained loyal to Trump, even earning the nickname “first buddy.” That loyalty has now shifted to outspoken disapproval.

Musk Pulls No Punches

Soon after leaving office, Musk took to Twitter to air his frustrations.

“This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,” he wrote.
“Shame on those who voted for it. You know you did wrong.”

In a follow-up post, Musk warned that the bill would balloon the national deficit to $2.5 trillion. He accused Congress of “making America bankrupt” and called for voters to “fire all politicians who betrayed the American people” in the upcoming election.

What’s in the Bill?

The legislation narrowly passed the House on May 22 by just one vote. Here’s what it includes:

  • Temporary tax cuts through 2028

  • No taxes on service and beauty industry tips

  • Tax freezes on overtime income

  • Increased military and border security spending

  • Deductions for U.S.-made car loan interest (up to $10,000)

  • A flat $200 tax on gun silencers

However, it also makes sharp cuts to Medicaid and SNAP food stamps, eliminates aid for undocumented immigrants, and bans federal funds for gender transition services. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the bill could strip 8.6 million people of healthcare and save the government $1 trillion.

Behind Musk’s Fury

Sources told the New York Post that Musk’s criticism stems from more than just ideology.
House Republicans recently removed electric vehicle tax credits, directly impacting Tesla. Musk also faced a 130-day term limit at DOGE and was reportedly blocked from extending his tenure.

To add to the friction, the Federal Aviation Administration has chosen not to use Starlink, Musk’s satellite system, for air traffic control improvements.

Fallout Among Allies

Musk’s ally, Jared Isaacman, was also dropped by Trump from leading NASA, allegedly due to past Democratic donations.

Although Musk had backed many of Trump’s moves in the past, this latest shift marks a clear break. He previously told CBS that he was “disappointed” in the bill, claiming it “undermines the work the DOGE team was doing.”

White House Responds

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt brushed off Musk’s comments, stating,

“The president already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill. It doesn’t change his opinion.”
