Days after attacking the 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."

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." He later posted that "Congress is making America bankrupt."
The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" legislation extends Trump's 2017 tax cuts and boosts 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 holding meetings with senators to try to get his sweeping agenda passed by Congress.

Speaker Mike Johnson, however, brushed off Musk's criticism, telling reporters Tuesday that the billionaire was "terribly wrong about the one big, beautiful bill."
"For him to come out and pan the whole bill is to me just very disappointing, very surprising," Johnson said, adding to that two spoke on Monday.

"That is a dangerous thing for Elon or anyone who has who cares about the U.S. economy to be meddling with," he said. "And I, I think the risk is very great. We have to pass this legislation."
Asked about Musk's comments on Tuesday, 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."
Musk had earlier criticized the bill, saying he was "disappointed" with it in an interview with CBS News.

Musk did not discuss his criticism of the bill during the news conference. Trump, however, touted the spending bill.
"It's an unbelievable bill. It cuts your deficits. It cuts, you know, it's a huge cutting, but there's things I'd like to see, maybe cut a little bit more. I'd like to see a bigger cut in taxes," he said.
