Elon Musk publicly condemned President Trump's spending bill, labeling it as excessive and filled with 'pork'. Sources indicated Musk's criticism stemmed from personal conflicts with the Trump administration, notably his termination from a government role and frustrations about not securing air traffic control contracts for his company, Starlink. Additionally, the withdrawal of his ally Jared Isaacman’s nomination for a NASA position reportedly served as a significant catalyst for Musk's displeasure, with the situation being characterized as a personal affront to him.
This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination... Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong.
Musk's inability to continue serving in his position as a special government employee beyond the imposed time limit... was cited as one of the points of irritation.
The withdrawal of Isaacman's nomination was the final straw for Musk... an out-the-door f**k you to the billionaire.
Elon was butthurt, one source told the outlet.
