Musk calls Trump’s big beautiful bill ‘a disgusting abomination’ | World News

Elon Musk has strongly criticised a major tax and spending bill backed US President Donald Trump, calling it a “disgusting abomination” in a post on X.
Musk’s comments come as Trump urges Senate Republicans to pass the legislation, which he has called the “big, beautiful bill”. The bill has already been approved the House of Representatives.
“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” Musk wrote on Tuesday. “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 had been leading a government effort to improve cost-cutting and efficiency, after being appointed Trump. During that time, he pushed for changes at several federal agencies, though he did not achieve the large savings he had hoped for.
His formal role as a special government employee with the Department of Government Efficiency ended last week.
