Elon Musk has publicly condemned the “One Big Stunning Bill,” labeling the congressional spending bill a “disgusting abomination” ⁤in a post⁢ on X. The tech billionaire ⁣and former head ‍of the Department of Government Efficiency ‍voiced strong opposition to the bill, just days after⁢ leaving his post in the Trump management.

Musk stated the bill⁤ would “massively increase the ⁢already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion” and burden Americans with unsustainable debt. His criticism follows an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office, ⁤which projects the bill⁤ would slash over $800 billion in funding for SNAP and Medicaid over the next decade, while together increasing the federal ⁢deficit by $3.8 trillion.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Trump is aware of Musk’s stance on the⁤ big beautiful bill. A senior White House official told NPR that the administration⁤ plans⁣ an “all-out advocacy effort” to push the bill through ⁢the Senate, ⁢even though it has faced ‍criticism.

“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.”
