Elon Musk’s sudden outburst over Donald Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ sent the administration into a damage control mode on Tuesday while the opposition celebrated the fallout as the final ‘divorce’ of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Musk has exited the administration and there was a farewell address at the Oval Office though both Trump and Musk claimed that it was not a farewell and Musk would remain Trump’s adviser. But Musk’s outburst on X over the spending bill was not something that the administration was prepared for. “I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. 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,” Musk wrote shaming those who voted for it while the bill is Trump’s signature project. “It will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt,” he said. Republican senator Rand Paul, who has opposed the bill for the same reason, instantly supported Elon Musk and said Musk is right. “In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people,” Elon Musk said about at the midterm election. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reacted to Elon Musk’s outburst and said Donald Trump was already aware of Elon Musk’s stand on the spending bill but that does not change anything. Speaker Mike Johnson said Elon is “simply wrong” about the One Big Beautiful Bill. “Our legislation comprehensively delivers on every major campaign promise and the America First agenda, while ALSO securing historic savings of more than $1.6 TRILLION. It’s going to keep our borders secure, provide historic tax relief for hardworking Americans, unleash American energy dominance, reduce spending, and restore peace through strength. Congress is working hard to get this to President Trump’s desk by July 4th so we can deliver on the mandate the American people gave us,” Johnson said.
