Elon Musk, the tech entrepreneur, has launched an attack on a $4‍ trillion congressional spending bill, branding it “debt slavery” and warning⁢ of fiscal disaster. Musk is using his social media platform to rally opposition to the bill, which he says will bankrupt America.

Musk’s criticism focuses on the bill’s expansion of Trump-era tax cuts, increased defense spending, and a⁣ rise in the debt ceiling. he argues that the⁣ legislation will⁤ lead to a massive increase in ‌the national debt, potentially ⁣exceeding $5 trillion.

The‍ former head of DOGE, Musk is ‍not only criticizing the ⁤bill but also targeting Republican lawmakers who support it. He has threatened to fund primary challenges against those who back the legislation, turning his financial​ resources against his former allies.

“This⁣ massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a‍ disgusting abomination,” Musk posted on X. “Shame⁤ on those who voted for it: you ⁣know‍ you did wrong.”

The White House has‌ downplayed Musk’s criticism.Press ‍Secretary Karoline Leavitt called it ‍”one big,beautiful bill.” Some senators⁤ have also dismissed Musk’s concerns, with Sen. Kevin Cramer saying⁢ that few senators are interested in what musk has to say.

What’s next

The spending bill faces an uncertain future in the Senate,where it will likely ‍face ⁣stiff opposition. Musk’s​ vocal opposition and potential financial backing of primary challengers could further complicate the bill’s‌ passage.
