Warren releases 130-accusation report on Elon Musk's tenure
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Tuesday released a 130-accusation report on tech billionaire Elon Musk's time as a special government employee, arguing he profited from his work in the Trump administration. 'While serving as a 'Special Government Employee' in the White House and leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk has maintained extensive financial conflicts of interest through his ownership or stake in several private and publicly traded companies: Tesla, SpaceX, X and xAI, the Boring Company, and Neuralink,' the introduction of the report, which notes Musk's net work increased by over $100 billion since Election Day, reads. The report from Warren separates her 130 accusations by section with titles like 'Government resources to promote Musk's businesses,' 'Undercutting agencies regulating and investigating Musk's businesses,' 'Policy changes and approvals that benefit Musk's businesses,' and 'Lack of public transparency.' 'Musk and individuals acting on his behalf have been involved in dozens of questionable actions that raise questions about corruption, ethics, and conflicts of interest,' the report states. Musk's time spent as a special government employee in the first few months of President Trump's second term was marked by a crusade to drastically cut the size and spending of the federal government. The tech billionaire's DOGE has drawn intense backlash via its targeting of federal agencies and departments like the Treasury Department and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The Hill has reached out to the White House, Tesla, SpaceX, X, xAI, The Boring Company and Neuralink for comment.

Elon Musk attacks Trump's funding bill: 'Disgusting abomination'
Days after attacking a megabill that advances President Donald Trump's legislative agenda, Elon Musk slammed it again on Tuesday, calling it a "disgusting abomination" in a post on X. "I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination," Musk wrote of the House-passed bill. "Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it." MORE: Trump ramps up criticism of GOP Sen. Rand Paul amid push to pass his funding bill Musk followed up with another post claiming the bill "will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt." The legislation extends Trump's 2017 tax cuts and boost spending for the military and border security -- while making some cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and other assistance programs. It will also add about $3.8 trillion to the federal government's $36.2 trillion in debt over the next decade, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. Negotiations on the bill are underway in the Senate, with the president working the phones and having meetings with senators to try to get his sweeping agenda passed by Congress. Asked about Musk's comments, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed his criticism. "Look, the president already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill," Leavitt said during the White House press briefing. "It doesn't change the president's opinion. This is one big, beautiful bill and he's sticking to it." This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

Elon Musk Unloads On Republicans' 'Disgusting Abomination' Big Beautiful Bill
WASHINGTON ― Former White House adviser Elon Musk exploded Tuesday at Republicans over the so-called Big Beautiful Bill cutting taxes and Medicaid. Just days after leaving his temporary position at the White House, Musk blasted Republicans for moving a bill that would expand budget deficits by more than $2 trillion. 'I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore,' Musk wrote on X. '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.' Musk had previously said he was 'disappointed' by the bill, prompting several Republicans to claim he didn't understand it. But Musk made clear he was familiar with budget scorekeepers' estimates of the legislation's cost. 'It will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt,' Musk wrote in a follow-up post. Asked about Musk's commentary, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed it was nothing new. 'Look, the president already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill,' Leavitt said during a press briefing. 'It doesn't change the president's opinion ― this is one big, beautiful bill and he is sticking to it.' But there's no question Musk's messages marked a major escalation from his prior criticism ― one that could prove problematic for getting the bill to the president's desk. Two Republican senators, Mike Lee (Utah) and Rand Paul (Ky.), immediately signaled their agreement. 'I agree with Elon,' Paul wrote. 'We have both seen the massive waste in government spending and we know another $5 trillion in debt is a huge mistake.' This is a developing story. Check back for updates...
