“KILL IT”: Elon Moves to ‘Kill’ Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill

Elon Musk has ramped up his public opposition to the budget reconciliation bill currently being debated in Congress, imploring the American public to pressure their representatives to vote it down. He labeled the legislation—central to President Donald Trump’s second-term agenda—as deeply harmful to the country.

“Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok! KILL the BILL,” Musk posted on X, the platform he owns.

Just days after ending his temporary appointment as head of the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk renewed his criticism of the legislation, known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” On Tuesday, he took to X to call it a “disgusting abomination.”

“Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it,” he added.

Though the measure narrowly cleared the House of Representatives, it still faces scrutiny in the Senate. Some GOP senators share Musk’s objections, arguing the bill doesn’t go far enough to rein in government spending. Others have voiced concerns about its provisions affecting Medicaid.

“No one who actually reads the bill should be able to stomach it,” Musk wrote in another post on Wednesday.

His remarks were in response to a clip posted online of House Speaker Mike Johnson, who expressed frustration with Musk’s reversal: “Elon and I left on a great note. And then yesterday, 24 hours later, he does a 180 and he comes out and opposes the bill, and it surprised me, frankly.”

Later that same day, Musk posted again, arguing for a completely new approach: “A new spending bill should be drafted that doesn’t massively grow the deficit and increase the debt ceiling by 5 TRILLION DOLLARS.”

He also weighed in on a video shared by Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, which featured Warren Buffett endorsing the idea of barring members of Congress from reelection if the federal deficit exceeds 3% of GDP. According to Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis data, the 2023 deficit stood at roughly 6.3% of GDP.

“This is the way,” Musk wrote.
