Washington, D.C. — Elon Musk just dropped a political bombshell.
In a scathing takedown posted to X, the billionaire tech mogul urged Americans to rise up and demand Congress kill President Trump’s signature spending bill, branding it a “disgusting abomination” and warning it will saddle the country with “crushing debt.”
“Shame on those who voted for it,” Musk blasted, calling for voters to fire those lawmakers in the next election.
The bill, passed by the House and now under Senate review, includes massive tax breaks, boosts to defense spending, and a plan to raise the debt ceiling to a jaw-dropping $4 TRILLION.
Musk—who abruptly exited the Trump administration just days ago—says the legislation will balloon the national deficit to $2.5 trillion and “crush American citizens under unsustainable debt.”
🔥 His message is loud and clear:
“Tell your representatives: KILL THE BILL.”
The Fallout:
Musk’s fiery attack is his first major break with Trump since joining forces with the administration.
The White House quickly fired back, calling his claims a “hoax” and defending the bill as a path to “unprecedented economic growth.”
GOP leaders say they’re pressing ahead. “We’re moving forward,” said Senate Majority Leader John Thune, brushing off Musk’s revolt.
But tensions are rising even within the GOP. Senator Rand Paul slammed the bill for its debt ceiling increase, warning Republicans:
“You’ll own the debt once you vote for this.”
Meanwhile, Speaker Mike Johnson claimed Musk is “terribly wrong,” revealing the bill phases out EV tax credits—a potential blow to Tesla.
“I just deeply regret he’s made this mistake,” Johnson said after a private call with Musk.
Hidden Sparks:
Sources say Musk is also furious over a failed bid to have the FAA use his Starlink system for air traffic control—denied over tech concerns and conflict-of-interest fears.
Despite the drama, Trump and House Republicans are racing to pass the bill by July 4th, locking in a legislative win for a possible second term.
Yet Musk, who once donated over $250 million to support Trump’s comeback, has clearly turned a corner.
“In November next year,” Musk warned,
“we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people.”
