Kill (The) Bill: Musk Goes Ballistic Against GOP Tax And Spending Package

Let’s be honest, Elon Musk has been made a fool of by the GOP. After assembling the DOGE team and spending months finding egregious levels of waste, fraud and abuse within the US government – i.e. what Trump supporters voted for – House and Senate Republicans gave Musk a little pat on the head, then proceeded to roll out President Trump’s 'Big Beautiful Bill’ – that codified exactly zero of DOGE’s findings, raises the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, and relies on ambitious economic projections to achieve what the White House insists is $1.4 trillion in savings (while the Congressional Budget Office projects deficits of $1.7 – $2.3 trillion over the next decade).

Needless to say, Musk is livid.

On Tuesday, Musk posted to X, „I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.”

His post was immediately met with support from Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who said „We can and must do better.”

I agree with Elon. We have both seen the massive waste in government spending and we know another $5 trillion in debt is a huge mistake.

We can and must do better. https://t.co/LwPNJZv5zo

This sent the White House scrambling to do damage control – with Budget Director Russ Vought sending Congress a request for a $9.4 billion clawback for unspent foreign aid funding – which if you’re Musk, after what DOGE has uncovered, is a huge slap in the face.

Kill (the) Bill

On Wednesday, Musk continued to rage on X – posting: „Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok! Kill the Bill.” – followed by a 'Kill Bill’ movie poster featuring Uma Thurman.

Call your Senator,
Call your Congressman,

Bankrupting America is NOT ok!

KILL the BILL

Musk’s solution? A new spending bill that doesn’t jack the debt ceiling by $5 trillion dollars while „massively” growing the deficit.

A new spending bill should be drafted that doesn’t massively grow the deficit and increase the debt ceiling by 5 TRILLION DOLLARS

Musk also amplified several posts supporting his position;
