Updated june 4, 2025
Donald Trump is reportedly seething after Elon Musk publicly criticized his “One Big, Stunning Bill,” labeling it a “disgusting abomination.” The feud between the former president and the tech billionaire highlights growing tensions over the proposed legislation and its potential impact on electric vehicle tax credits and the national debt.
Brian Kilmeade,co-host of “Fox & Friends,” said Wednesday that Trump was caught off guard by Musk’s outburst.Kilmeade added that the president is choosing to remain publicly silent to focus on pushing the bill through the Senate.
The discord extends beyond Trump. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told reporters Wednesday that Musk has not returned his calls. Johnson suggested Musk’s discontent stems from the bill’s provision to end electric vehicle tax credits, a move that would directly affect Tesla.
”I called Elon last night and he didn’t answer. I hope he calls me back today,” Johnson said.
Johnson added that Trump is “not delighted” with Musk’s change of heart regarding the bill. Tesla has reportedly spent at least $240,000 lobbying for electric vehicle tax credits.
Musk has publicly stated his opposition to the bill due to its expansion of the federal deficit.The Congressional Budget Office estimates the bill would add more than $2.4 trillion to the national debt as tax cuts disproportionately benefit the wealthy.
Despite the criticism from Musk and some Republicans, other GOP legislators have voiced their support for Musk’s stance. Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, have publicly agreed with Musk’s assessment of the bill on X.
“I agree with elon…We can and must do better,” Paul said on X.
What’s next
The Senate will now debate the bill, facing pressure to address concerns about its impact on the national debt and electric vehicle tax credits. The evolving relationship between Trump and Musk remains one to watch as the legislative process unfolds.
