Musk calls Trump's big tax break bill a 'disgusting abomination,' testing his influence over the GOP

[Dulcinea]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Elon Musk blasted President Donald Trump’s“big, beautiful bill” of tax breaks and spending cuts as a “disgusting abomination” on Tuesday, testing the limits of his political influence as he targeted the centerpiece of Republicans’ legislative agenda.

The broadside, which Musk issued on his social media platform X, came just days after the president gave him a celebratory Oval Office farewell that marked the end of his work for the administration, where he spearheaded the Department of Government Efficiency.

“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” Musk posted on X. “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.”

The legislation, which has passed the House and is currently under debate in the Senate, would curtail subsidies that benefit Tesla, Musk’s electric automaker.

8. I would no more trust that guy than I'd trust a hyena in a steakhouse.

He'd use the truth to ratchet up his popularity or for personal gain, but there's not an honest bone in him. He'd change positions in a moment.

I’ve got a Tesla but I wonder how long I’ll be able to get service from them?

14. We all knew this was gonna happen. Most (including me)

thought it would happen sooner, but this was a matter of when not if. So predictable Mush and Strump would be at each other's throats. Surprised it took this long.

[Dulcinea]

15. I'm surprised this bromance lasted as long as it did.

The Oval Office isn't big enough for those 2 colossal egos.
