Musk Goes Ballistic Against GOP Tax And Spending Package
Let's be honest, Elon Musk has been made a fool of by the GOP. After assembling the DOGE team and spending months finding egregious levels of waste, fraud and abuse within the US government – i.e. what Trump supporters voted for – House and Senate Republicans gave Musk a little pat on the head, then proceeded to roll out President Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' – that codified exactly zero of DOGE's findings, raises the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, and relies on ambitious economic projections to achieve what the White House insists is $1.4 trillion in savings (while the Congressional Budget Office projects deficits of $1.7 – $2.3 trillion over the next decade).
Needless to say, Musk is livid.
On Tuesday, Musk posted to X, 'I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.'
His post was immediately met with support from Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who said 'We can and must do better.'
I agree with Elon. We have both seen the massive waste in government spending and we know another $5 trillion in debt is a huge mistake. We can and must do better. — Rand Paul (@RandPaul) June 3, 2025
This sent the White House scrambling to do damage control – with Budget Director Russ Vought sending Congress a request for a $9.4 billion clawback for unspent foreign aid funding – which if you're Musk, after what DOGE has uncovered, is a huge slap in the face.
On Wednesday, Musk continued to rage on X – posting: 'Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok! Kill the Bill.' – followed by a 'Kill Bill' movie poster featuring Uma Thurman.

Musk's solution? A new spending bill that doesn't jack the debt ceiling by $5 trillion dollars while 'massively' growing the deficit.
A new spending bill should be drafted that doesn't massively grow the deficit and increase the debt ceiling by 5 TRILLION DOLLARS — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 4, 2025
Musk also amplified several posts supporting his position;
Debt under Democrats: 📈 ⬆️ Debt under Republicans: 📈 ⬆️ Neither of the major parties has been successful so far in addressing this issue. — The Rabbit Hole (@TheRabbitHole84) June 4, 2025
77 million Americans voted for DOGE cuts NOT Washington's wasteful spending. — Congressman John Rose (@RepJohnRose) June 3, 2025
'I think a bill can be big or it could be beautiful. I don't know if it could be both.'— Elon Musk — The Rabbit Hole (@TheRabbitHole84) June 4, 2025
