How is Elon Musk publicly attacking the new spending bill?
Talk about putting the dagger in and twisting it. Elon Musk is skewering Donald Trump, and Trump is kind of stunned into submission. Trump's not even really addressing it, or he's sheepishly posting other things and saying Elon Musk and Doge support Donald Trump, but Trump doesn't know what to do. You have Elon Musk posting over and over again things like. Like this. A new spending bill should be drafted that doesn't massively grow the deficit and increase the debt ceiling by $5 trillion. Redraw it. Elon Musk posts Kill Bill with a photo of the movie Kill Bill. He then reposts his AI company, Grok, analyzing the bill and analyzing the claim by office. Of Management and Budget Director Russ Vogt and Grok says the following: The claim that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act reduces deficits by $1.4 trillion over 10 years is not supported by most analyses.
The CBO estimates it increases the deficits by $2.3 to $3.8 trillion with CRS. FB and others projecting $2.6 to $3.1 trillion increase in the deficit, including interest. The $1.7 trillion in savings lacks clear evidence from CBO. Different baseline and growth assumptions cause discrepancies, but evidence leads toward deficit increases. You have Elon Musk also posting. Posting the comment section from Fox and showing that people are pissed at Donald Trump and supporting Elon Musk. Elon Musk reposts this account, Stephanie Tyler, that goes, Fox News comments is a great place to understand conservative views since they get so much traffic. I was curious what the people were saying about Elon shit talk.
The big beautiful bill. I call it the disaster bill. And I'm shocked. Almost every comment is in agreement with Elon to see so many vehemently disagreeing with Trump is wild. GOP better be real careful. And then Elon Musk reposts that with the American flag. And you take a look at the comment section that Elon Musk is reposting. There are Messages like this. Musk is right. I didn't want Trump to cut spending in some areas only to increase it in others. I want spending cuts to eliminate the deficit and then start paying down the debt.
What does Musk’s Grok AI analysis say about the bill’s deficit impact?
They say when you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging. I agree with Musk on this one. I like Trump as much as any conservative, but he is a crazy spender. But that's how you get elected, regardless. He needs to cut spending somewhere. I would start with the ditching of the Golden Dome and anything that has to do with financing trips to Mars or Mars research. In other posts, Musk is right on the money. The debt must be reduced. Trump has done some great things, but this bill isn't one of them. Let me be very clear. I think Trump has done zero great things, unless he's done great things for other countries. Who are now rising in power as compared to the United States. But Elon Musk continued to make post after post after post.
And again, no comebacks by Donald Trump, no attack of Elon. Um, Elon Musk posts again. He's like beating Donald Trump when he's down. Boom, boom, boom. Elon Musk goes, call your senator, call your congressman. Bankrupting America is not okay. Kill. The bill. And then you had all of these Republican senators responding to Elon Musk. And again, Trump goes mute. Trump goes silent while all of this is taking place. Like he's basically been in hiding since Friday when he lied to these steel workers at U.S. Steel in Pittsburgh that there wasn't going to be an acquisition by Nippon Steel, but Neppon Steel was investing, and he promised every Everybody, five thousand dollar bonuses. Oh yeah, Donald. Where are the five thousand dollar dose checks you were promising?
Anyway, let's take a look at what the Republican senators were saying.
Why are Republicans and GOP senators reacting to Musk’s criticism?
Let's play it.
I don't do his opinion. Um he's frustrated. I think he believes in my judgment correctly. that we're quickly becoming debt slaves. He certainly has the the the right and ability to to say what he will about it.
I think people um Listen to what he has to say, as they should. He's a really smart guy. I
don't think it changed any views in the Republican Party in the Senate.
