Elon Musk spoke again on Wednesday at the signature tax of President Donald Trump and asked the Americans again to tell their representatives in Washington that they should “kill the bill”.
The budget, which includes enormous tax assessments and other defense spending, was passed by the House of Representatives last month and is now taken into account by the senators.
The Tech billionaire published on X at the beginning of this week that the bill would expand the US budget deficit and saddle the Americans with “destructive” debts.
On Tuesday, he described it as a “disgusting atrocity” in an expanded gap between the two.
The legislation has the support of President Donald Trump and would be the legislative intruder of his second -term agenda if it exceeds the congress.
“Shame on those who voted for it,” said Musk on Tuesday and indicated that he could try to dismiss the politicians who are responsible for the intermediate elections next year.
Musk left the administration abruptly after 129 days worked to reduce the costs with his team as a Doge. The comments have been his first public disagreement with Trump since his government after he had previously described the plan as “disappointing”.
Shortly after Musks Tweet On Wednesday, the White House sent a “myth buster” tuning, in which it described the claim that the invoice would lead to higher deficits to a “joke”.
“Due to every honest metric, the fiscal trajectory of the United States improves a great beautiful bill from President Donald J. Trump and unleashs an era with unprecedented economic growth,” the explanation says.
No musk or his tweets was mentioned. The BBC contacted the White House for a comment.
The Tech billionaire period born in South Africa in the Trump administration ended on May 31, although Trump said “he will always be with us and will help the whole way”.
In its current form, the invoice, which Trump calls “Big Beautiful Bill” – estimated to increase the budget deficit – has the difference between the government’s expenditure and the income that it receives – around $ 600 billion (444 billion GBP) in the next financial year.
In a number of articles on X on Tuesday, Musk said that the “outrageous” expenditure law “filled with pork will increase the already gigantic budget deficit to 2.5 trillion US dollars (!!!) and the citizens of America (sic) will increase with non-sustainable debts”.
In American politics, “pork” refers to expenses for projects in the constituencies of legislators.
Musk has previously sworn to finance the campaign challenges against every Republican who votes against Trump’s agenda. But on Tuesday he fired a warning to those who supported the invoice.
“In November next year, we will fire all politicians who have betrayed the American people,” he wrote.
When asked about Musk’s comments shortly after the first post, the press spokesman for the White House, Karoline Leavitt, said “the President already knows where Elon Musk was on this draft law”.
“This is a big, beautiful bill,” she added. “And he stays with it.”
Legislation also undertakes to extend the soon-to-be tax cuts that were adopted during the first Trump administration in 2017, as well as an influx of funds for defense expenditure and the financing of the mass deportations of the administration of immigrants without papers.
To dismay fiscal conservatives, it would increase the limit for the amount of money that the government can borrow as a debt limit.
Muschus’s comments reflect the Republicans on the plan that had exposed to various wings of the party, a wider tension of the Republicans than she worked through the house.
The Senate has now recorded it, and departments are already being created in this chamber, which is also closely controlled by Republicans.
The Senator of Kentucky, Rand Paul, has said in the past few days that he would not support the draft law if he increases the debt limit.
“The GOP (the Republican Party) will have the debts as soon as they vote for it,” he told CBS News, the US partner of the BBC at the weekend.
Trump replied Paul with a series of social media posts and accused him of “only having very little understanding of the bill” and saying that “Kentucky’s people don’t stand him”.
“His ideas are actually crazy,” wrote Trump.
The Republican legislators have attributed Musk to Musk’s comments, with the majority leader of the Senate, John Thune, said that the party is planning to “promote full speed despite disagreements”.
Thune and other senators met Trump on Wednesday for a “positive discussion,” he said reporters in the White House.
He played Musk’s posts down and said little to do it to dance the work of the legislators.
“We go forward,” he said, adding that “the bikes are in motion” and that “errors are not an option”.
Mike Johnson – The Republican spokesman who initiated the legislation from the house – said reporters on Capitol Hill that “my friend Elon is terribly wrong”.
“It’s a very important first start. Elon misses it,” said Johnson.
Johnson said he had a 20-minute call on Monday with the Tycoon and added that the control parts of electric vehicles on Tesla, Musk’s company, could have “effect”.
“I complain,” said Johnson, expressing surprise that Musk criticized the bill despite her call. “I only deeply regret that he made this mistake.”
On the topics that annoy musk Axios.
Musk hoped that it would be operated on his Starlink satellite system, but he was refused due to problems in terms of technology and the appearance of a conflict of interest, the political outlet reported.
Some Democrats greeted Musk’s comments despite her previous criticism of him and the work of Doge.
“Even Elon Musk, who was part of the entire process and is one of Trump’s buddies, said that the law was bad,” said Chuck Schumer, Chairman of Senate Minister. “We can imagine how bad this calculation is.”
Trump and the Republicans in Congress have set a period of July 4 to adopt the measure and sign them to the law.
Musk supported Trump in the November elections last year with donations of more than 250 million US dollars.
In order to close peace with Hawks’s expenditure, Trump also asks Congress to say goodbye to a plan that would reduce the current expenses by USD 9.4 billion, a number that comes from DOGE’s work.
It would mainly reduce the financing for foreign aid, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and for radio NPR and PBS.
