WASHINGTON: Elon Musk on Tuesday amplified his criticism of the sweeping tax and spending bill that President Donald Trump has been pushing fellow Republicans in Congress to embrace, calling it a \u201cdisgusting abomination\u201d that will increase the deficit.
\n\u201cI\u2019m sorry, but I just can\u2019t stand it anymore,\u201d the billionaire Musk wrote in an X post. \u201cThis massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.
\n\u201cShame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.\u201d
\nThe broadside comes as Trump pressures Republicans in the Senate to approve the legislation he dubbed the \u201cbig, beautiful bill,\u201d which has been passed in the House of Representatives.
\nTrump appointed Musk, the world\u2019s richest person, to lead a government cost-cutting and efficiency drive, during which he upended several federal agencies but ultimately failed to deliver the massive savings he had sought.
\nMusk left his formal role in the administration last week as his time as a special government employee with the Department of Government Efficiency came to an end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
