I just can't stand it anymore: Musk explodes over Trump's big, beautiful bill

Elon Musk blasted U.S. President Donald Trump's “big, beautiful bill" of tax breaks and spending cuts as a “disgusting abomination" on Tuesday (June 4, 2025), testing the limits of his political influence as he targeted the centerpiece of Republicans' legislative agenda.

The broadside, which Musk issued on his social media platform X, came just days after the president gave him a celebratory Oval Office farewell that marked the end of his work for the administration, where he spearheaded the Department of Government Efficiency.

“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” Mr. Musk posted 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.”
