On June 3, 2025, Elon Musk took to X to sharply criticize President Donald Trump’s signature legislation, officially known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, labelling it a “disgusting abomination”.
Musk, who recently stepped down from his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), expressed strong opposition to the bill, which narrowly cleared the House in May.
He condemned it as bloated with unnecessary spending and warned that it would add an estimated $2.5 trillion to the federal deficit over the next ten years.

On June 5, 2025, Trump reiterated and said, “I’m very disappointed with Elon. I’ve helped him a lot. He knew the inner workings of the bill better than anybody sitting here. He had no problem with it. Suddenly, he had a problem & he only developed the problem when he found out we’re going to cut the EV mandate.”
Elon Musk appeared unwilling to back down, issuing a direct response to Trump’s remarks.
“Keep the EV/solar incentives cuts in the bill, also cut all the crazy spending increases in the Big Ugly Bill so that America doesn’t go bankrupt!” wrote Musk on the same day.

Different Views Points on the Bill
The bill passed the US House in May 2025 and now awaits a Senate vote.
It drew sharp criticism from Musk shortly after his departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where he served for 129 days.
The bill extends Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, introduces new tax breaks on tips and overtime, increases military and border security spending, and raises the debt ceiling by $4 trillion.
President Trump, during a joint press conference with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, stated that Musk had been closely involved in the development of the legislation.
