Washington
Alan Musk called Trump’s huge tax and spending bill as ‘hateful hatred’ and warned that this would increase the deficit to $ 2.5 trillion and increase the heavy, unstable debt burden on Americans. On Tuesday, the billionaire criticized the latest tax of Trump administration and sharply against the expenditure bill.
‘I am sorry, but I can’t tolerate anymore,’ Musk posted on X’s social media platform, expressing displeasure over the bill passed by the Congress with comprehensive Republican support.
President Donald Trump considers this law to be an important part of his economic plan, but fiscal conservatives have strongly criticized it. Alan Musk’s harsh criticism was particularly notable as it came only a few days after the government ended the short -term role of advising the spending on the reforms.
Musk resigned from his role as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) last week, which was tasked to cut federal expenses.
2.5 trillion dollar deficit warning
Musk warned that this bill would already increase the huge budget deficit of America to $ 2.5 trillion, which would deepen the burden of unstable debt on the country.
Musk separated from Trump’s team
A few days ago, Alan Musk resigned from the post of Chief of the ‘Government Efficiency Department’ (DOGE), which was responsible for reducing federal expenses. He has clearly separated himself from this disputed bill.
Trump maintains this bill: White House
White House press secretary Caroline Lewit, taking the criticism of Allen Musk lightly, said that President Trump already knew what Alan Musk thinks about the bill, but this step of Allen Musk would not change his (Trump) attitude. This is a Big Beautiful Bill and the President is standing with it. Please tell that this bill has been described by President Donald Trump as the backbone of his economic policy, while Musk is considering it as a symbol of uncontrolled expenses.
Musk gave Trump $ 250 million aid
Alan Musk donated more than $ 250 million for Trump’s election campaign in 2024. After this, he also led the initiative called ‘Deficit Optimization and Government Efficiency (DOGE)’, but now it has been closed. Its purpose was to eliminate government wastage from the root.
Political response
Kentaki’s Republican MP Thomas Massey supported Alan Musk and said that he is correct. In response, Musk replied in two words- ‘Simple Math’.
Musk cannot understand the bill: House Speaker Johnson
However, house speaker Mike Johnson described Musk’s criticism as very disappointing. He said that he had talked to Allen Musk for 20 minutes on Monday and tried to convince that this bill is the first strong step towards heavy tax cut and fulfillment of election promises. But Allen is unable to understand this.
