Elon Musk on Tuesday dropped a bomb by casting U.S. President Trump's "big, beautiful bill" as a "disgusting abomination."



In his posts on the social platform X, Musk, who has just left his leading position at the Department of Government Efficiency a few days ago, said: "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."



"Congress is making America bankrupt," he added. "In November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people."



The "One, Big, Beautiful Bill," as described by Trump, is a legislative package that includes a variety of provisions, focusing on tax cuts and spending cuts, as well as provisions like no tax on tips or overtime, increased child tax credits, and cuts to the federal deficit. The bill also includes provisions related to border security, energy exploration, and welfare reform.



According to a CNN report, some White House officials said they were caught off guard by the harsh remarks. While Musk's sentiments on the bill were no secret to senior staff in the West Wing, they weren't expecting him to take such a strong public stance.
