Elon Musk has expressed disappointment over President Trump's tax and spending bill, arguing it will increase the budget deficit and negatively impact his initiatives. This criticism marks a worrying trend in Musk's relationship with the White House, following earlier confrontations with Trump's advisors. The bill, which aims for tax cuts for the wealthy and cuts to Medicaid, threatens to add $3.8 trillion to the national debt. Musk's influence appears to wane as Tesla sales drop and his government efficiency proposals fail to materialize.
"I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful, but I don't know if it can be both. My personal opinion."
Musk argued that it increases the budget deficit, undermining the work that the DOGE team is doing.
There's reportedly been a major falling out between Musk and the White House, with Republican lawmakers butting heads with him over his criticisms.
Nonpartisan estimates suggest that the bill would add a whopping $3.8 trillion to an already enormous $36 trillion of debt.
