While the Senate is still working through legislation before voting on Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill,” Elon Musk has voiced more criticism regarding the GOP bill.
Musk, the former head of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, had some harsh words for Republicans who vote to pass the bill. In May, the bill passed the House of Representatives with a final vote of 215-214.
Musk had previously expressed criticism of Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill. Last month, Musk sent a barrage of messages on social media targeting the president and GOP members.
“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,” Musk said in a June 3 post on X. “Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.”
Musk has returned to his social media platform, X, to express his dislike for the bill.
