Musk calls Trump’s tax-cut and spending bill ‘a disgusting abomination’

Billionaire Elon Musk plunged on Tuesday into the congressional debate over President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending bill, calling it a “disgusting abomination” that will increase the federal deficit. Several fiscally conservative Republicans in the US Senate supported the views Musk expressed in social media posts, which could complicate the bill’s path to passage in that chamber. “I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” Tesla and SpaceX CEO Musk wrote in a post on his social media platform X. “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.”
