Elon Musk's Attack Of Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Triggers Internet Feeding Frenzy
Elon Musk seemed kinda mad Tuesday ― and the internet couldn't have been happier.
President Donald Trump's former adviser for the unofficial Department of Government Efficiency took to his X social media platform to gripe about the passage of the president's so-called Big Beautiful Bill, calling it 'outrageous' and 'a disgusting abomination.'
I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore.This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.

To be fair, it's not like the man-child mogul was previously hiding his feelings.
Back in May, he criticized the version that passed the House as a 'massive spending bill' that increases the federal deficit and 'undermines the work' done by DOGE.
On Monday, Republican politicians who worked on the bill pushed back against Musk's attack, saying he didn't understand how it worked.
Many social media users on X, formerly Twitter, reacted to Musk's latest attack with a lot of schadenfreude, that oh-so-apt German word that means finding happiness in another person's misery.

So the extremely obvious prediction that Musk and Trump would last 3-4 months before they got into a huge fight and broke was, in retrospect, pretty much 100% correct https://t.co/2644k9r3Gj

I bet that the Trump Administration will investigate Musk's companies and charge him with something before the end of the year. https://t.co/pcWZFG9MKV

Republicans are such big sellouts that even Musk can't stand them.

Somehow Elon is ignoring the part where tariff revenue more than offsets the spend. Odd

It will not get better. The hogs are still at the trough and will refuse to move away from it. There are not enough honest people in Congress who are willing to stand up for the harder right thing even at this stage of our monumental national debt.

I appreciate you for being honest, but Ive been talking about how Trump would undermine DOGEs efforts since the day DOGE was announced.This was a very obvious, and predictable outcome. Leave the GOP & Seek Truth.

Weird that you're criticizing Congress instead of the guy behind the bill.

President Trump could have exhibited better leadership and threatened to veto any bill that didn't help to further the mandate he was given to slash government spending and balance the budget.The fact that he's pressuring them all to go along with it is telling.

Billions of that $$ goes towards your gov contacts. We should cancel them, you're right!
— Irishrygirl (@irishrygirl) June 3, 2025
Honestly, after you were the reason he was elected, I seriously thought he would be slightly more deferential/respectful to you. No loyalty bc he doesn't need you anymore. You failed to think ahead and you have no leverage now.

Cuomo attacked during debate by fellow Dems for allegedly lying to Congress about COVID nursing home scandal
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was blasted by fellow Democrats running against him to be the next mayor of New York City for lying to Congress, an allegation pushed by Republicans that the Trump administration is currently investigating. Cuomo repeatedly dismissed questions throughout Wednesday night's debate on whether he lied to Congress about his role in drafting a New York State Department of Health report that officials determined had undercounted the number of nursing home deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, Cuomo blasted the current investigation as a symptom of partisan politics and insisted the report in question "did not undercount the deaths." "The people died and he still won't answer your questions," Cuomo's opponent, Michael Blake, a former state assemblyman from the Bronx, said after Cuomo failed to provide a straight answer. Blake's retort resulted in one of the debate moderators asking Cuomo once again to respond to the allegations that he lied to Congress about his role in drafting the report that undercounted the number of COVID-19 nursing home deaths. This time, he engaged. "No, I told Congress the truth," Cuomo relented. "No, we did not undercount any deaths," he added. "When they are all counted, we're number 38 out of 50, which I think, shows that compared to what other states went through, we had it first and worst, and that only 12 states had a lower rate of death – we should really be thanking the women and men who worked on those things." "It's just a yes or no question," the moderator shot back at Cuomo. "Were you involved in the producing of that report?" However, Cuomo still did not address the question directly, leading to laughter from his opponents. "It's not only that Andrew Cuomo lied to Congress – which is perjury – he also lied to the grieving families whose loved ones he sent in to those nursing homes to protect his $5 million book deal," said Brad Lander, New York City's comptroller. "That's corruption." Last month, the Trump administration's Department of Justice opened a criminal investigation to get to the bottom of whether Cuomo lied to Congress about the decisions he made during the COVID-19 pandemic while serving as governor. In March 2020, Cuomo issued a directive that initially barred nursing homes from refusing to accept patients who had tested positive for COVID-19. The directive was meant to free up beds for overwhelmed hospitals, but more than 9,000 recovering coronavirus patients were ultimately released from hospitals into nursing homes under the directive, which was later rescinded amid speculation that it had accelerated outbreaks. Subsequently, a report released in March 2022 by the New York state comptroller found Cuomo's Health Department "was not transparent in its reporting of COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes" and it "understated the number of deaths at nursing homes by as much as 50%" during some points of the pandemic. New York Attorney General Letitia James similarly released a report amid the pandemic showing New York state nursing home deaths had been undercounted.

Trump says he's ‘disappointed' with Musk after he turned on the Republican tax bill
He also said Musk was upset that electric vehicle incentives were on the chopping block in Republican legislation that's currently being debated in the Senate. Musk runs Tesla, an electric automaker. Another point of contention was Musk's promotion of Jared Isaacman to run NASA. 'I didn't think it was appropriate,' Trump said, and he said Isaacman was 'totally a Democrat.'
