Musk Hits Back Hard as Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Threatens EV Credits and Deepens GOP Divide
Elon Musk has declared open war on Donald Trump’s flagship budget and tax bill. Using his massive reach on X, Musk launched a relentless campaign urging Americans to reject what he calls a “repugnant monstrosity.” With over 200 million followers watching, his message is loud and sharp—“KILL the BILL.”
A Financial, Environmental, and Personal Attack
Musk’s fury isn’t just political—it’s financial, environmental, and personal. He warns the bill will balloon the national debt by $2.4 trillion and threaten the financial future of the country. According to Musk, this proposal will not only crush citizens under unsustainable debt but also undercut progress in clean energy.
EV Tax Credit Rollbacks Spark Outrage
At the heart of his concern lies the rollback of electric vehicle tax credits. These cuts directly impact Tesla and could stall the nation’s energy goals. Musk called the bill “pork-filled” and accused it of favoring defense deals and wall funding over smart, sustainable investments.
Republican Party Divided Over the Bill
The bill, passed by the House and now under Senate scrutiny, has exposed deep cracks in the Republican party. Some conservatives back Musk, citing his warnings on runaway spending.
Others, including Trump loyalists, stand firm behind the bill, calling it a job creator. Speaker Mike Johnson attempted to call Musk to explain the bill, but Musk didn’t respond. Instead, he posted a sharp reply—"No one who reads the bill should be able to stomach it."
Tensions Rise Between Musk and Trump
Musk’s discontent isn’t limited to this bill. His growing frustration with the Trump administration includes disputes over artificial intelligence deals and the quiet removal of a key ally’s NASA nomination. These personal tensions add heat to his public protest.
Musk Ramps Up Pressure as Senate Vote Nears
As the Senate vote looms, Musk continues to post, demanding accountability and pressing lawmakers to halt what he believes could bankrupt the country. The campaign has turned one of Trump’s most loyal former allies into a leading critic.
