Musk continued making his disagreement known on social media, saying that this new bill would "burden American citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt". He would also post on X how "Congress is making America bankrupt".
What’s included in Trump’s “big, beautiful” legislative package?
"This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination," Musk said. The bill would extend Trump's 2017 tax cuts, add new tax breaks for tipped wages and overtime, along with reviewing food stamps and extend Trump's budget.
According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, the bill would add $3.8 trillion to the national debt over the course of the next 10 years.
