In a dramatic and unexpected online rant, tech billionaire Elon Musk has come out swinging—calling former President Donald Trump’s new “megabill” a “disgusting abomination”. Yes, you read that right! The same man who once seemed to align with some of Trump’s bold moves is now raging against what he sees as an out-of-control government spending spree.
Elon Musk Slams Trump’s Controversial Bill, Calls It Dangerous for America
In a fiery social media post, Elon Musk didn’t hold back. He called Trump’s proposed megabill—officially known as the “Big Beautiful Bill”—a complete disaster and urged lawmakers to reject it.
“This massive, outrageous, pork-filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,” Musk posted on X (formerly Twitter). “Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong.”
Musk’s harsh comments come just as the bill is being debated in the Senate, after already passing through the House. And his words are already causing a political earthquake, with both Republicans and Democrats reacting to the billionaire’s fiery opinion.
What Is This “Big Beautiful Bill” All About?
The megabill is a huge piece of legislation that aims to cut taxes and reshape how the U.S. government spends money. While Trump and his allies call it a “win for American taxpayers,” critics say it’s packed with risky spending, budget cuts to essential services, and benefits for the wealthy.
Here are the key parts of the bill:
-
Huge tax breaks for corporations and high-income earners
-
Cutbacks on programs like food stamps and Medicaid
-
Boosted funding for border security and defense
-
Removal of green energy tax credits, which could hurt companies like Tesla
Why Elon Musk Is Furious
Musk is known for his strong opinions—but even longtime followers were surprised by how blunt his message was this time. Insiders say Musk was especially angered by the bill’s impact on clean energy and the economy.
As the CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, Musk believes this bill is bad for innovation, bad for working Americans, and a step in the wrong direction for the country’s financial future.
Many believe he’s trying to sound the alarm before it’s too late, warning that this bill could increase national debt by trillions and widen the gap between rich and poor.
What Lawmakers and Public Are Saying
After Musk’s post went viral, some Republican lawmakers began to distance themselves from the bill. Senators like Rand Paul and Mike Lee have voiced similar concerns, suggesting the bill may be too extreme.
On the other hand, Trump loyalists have defended the bill, saying it’s exactly what America needs to strengthen the economy, secure borders, and bring back traditional values.
Meanwhile, the public seems divided. Some are cheering Musk for speaking out. Others think he’s just protecting his business interests.
How This Could Affect Musk’s Companies
This fight over the megabill isn’t just political—it could directly impact Musk’s business empire.
Here’s how:
-
Tesla might lose government support due to green energy cuts
-
SpaceX could see funding challenges for future NASA contracts
-
xAI, Musk’s artificial intelligence venture, may benefit from the bill’s tech deregulation
So, while Musk may be angry for the sake of the public, part of his frustration could also come from watching his own industries get hit.
