Trump Expresses 'Disappointment' in Musk, Questions Future of Their Relationship After Tax Bill Criticism

  • Elon Musk publicly criticized President Trump's tax and spending bill on Tuesday after serving 129 days as a special government employee in the Trump administration.
  • Musk's opposition grew from concerns about the bill increasing the US budget deficit and cutting green energy subsidies, sparking tension after a recent Oval Office meeting with Trump.
  • The bill, passed by House Republicans last month with a narrow margin, includes a $4 trillion debt-limit increase but faces opposition from Democrats and some Republican senators urged by Musk's vocal criticism.
  • Musk called the legislation a "disgusting abomination" and warned Republicans they would be voted out in next year's midterms if they supported it, while Trump declared it a "big, beautiful bill" and expressed disappointment in Musk.
  • The dispute escalated into a social media feud with Trump suggesting possible cancellation of Musk's government contracts and signaling their relationship is likely beyond repair, complicating Republican efforts to pass the bill.
