Elon Musk launched a fierce attack on Donald Trump’s tax bill, calling it a “disgusting abomination” and warning it would push the U.S. into “debt slavery.” Musk urged Americans to contact Congress and “KILL the BILL,” criticizing the \$5 trillion debt ceiling increase.
His opposition intensified after stepping down from a short-term role in Trump’s administration. Sources say Musk was also frustrated by cuts to EV tax credits and rejected proposals involving Starlink and NASA.
While Trump hasn’t addressed Musk’s remarks publicly, officials say he remains committed to the legislation, which supporters argue will reduce the deficit over time.
