Elon Musk Slams Trump’s Spending Bill as “Disgusting Abomination” Amid White House Defense
Date: 04-jun-2025 | By: Nuztrend Team
In a surprising political statement, tech billionaire Elon Musk has publicly condemned President Donald Trump’s newly proposed tax and spending bill, labeling it a "disgusting abomination." Musk’s comments have sparked intense debate across political and economic circles, highlighting growing concerns over federal deficit levels and fiscal responsibility.
“One Big Beautiful Bill Act” Under Fire
The legislation in question, formally known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” seeks to extend the 2017 Trump-era tax cuts, introduce new tax incentives, and raise the federal debt ceiling by $4 trillion. While the White House argues the bill will energize the U.S. economy, Musk and other critics see it as a major fiscal misstep.
Fiscal Impact and Economic Concerns
Economists project that the bill could add more than $2.5 trillion to the federal deficit—already estimated at $1.3 trillion for 2025. Musk, who previously chaired the now-defunct Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), voiced frustration that the bill undermines the very principles of accountability and fiscal control he once championed.
- The bill raises the federal debt ceiling by $4 trillion
- Extends and expands 2017-era tax cuts
- Includes targeted breaks for manufacturing and AI startups
- Criticized for lack of spending offsets
“This legislation is packed with pork,” Musk added, suggesting that special interest giveaways have drowned out sound economic judgment.
White House Responds to Criticism
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed Musk’s remarks, calling the bill a “bold step toward long-term economic stability.” She emphasized that the administration’s plan includes measures to boost job creation, domestic production, and middle-class tax relief.
Reactions Across the Aisle
Political responses have been swift and varied. Fiscal conservatives have aligned with Musk’s warning, echoing concerns about unchecked spending. Meanwhile, Democratic leaders have pointed to Musk’s shift as evidence of bipartisan unease over Trump’s financial stewardship.

On Capitol Hill, GOP lawmakers appeared divided. While some supported the bill’s growth agenda, others expressed discomfort with the long-term budget implications, particularly as the U.S. approaches another debt ceiling deadline later this year.
What It Means for Musk—and the Market
Musk’s companies, including SpaceX and Tesla, have benefited from federal contracts and subsidies, making his criticism particularly notable. Analysts are questioning whether this public rebuke could impact Musk’s political alliances—or his business interests.
Some insiders suggest the move could be part of a larger strategy, positioning Musk as a maverick voice in the national policy debate, potentially even laying groundwork for future political ambitions.
