- President Donald Trump is less than thrilled with Elon Musk since the world’s richest man came out against the president’s proposed spending bill, which the White House promises would reduce the deficit by $6.6 trillion over the next decade. Despite the two men working closely together for the past four months—an arrangement that ended last week when Musk completed his 130-day term as a special government employee—House Speaker Mike Johnson says he spoke with Trump and “he’s not delighted that Elon did a 180.”
Elon Musk has been busy ripping into President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” on his social network, X, over the last 48 hours. He says it’s a “massive, outrageous, pork-filled” spending plan and a “disgusting abomination” that would add trillions of dollars to the federal deficit and undo the cost-cutting work achieved by his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
