- Elon Musk has publicly condemned Donald Trump’s signature economic plan, calling the “One Big Beautiful Bill” an “abomination” and accusing it of undoing the cost-cutting work achieved by his Department of Government Efficiency. In response, the White House dismissed Musk’s criticisms as a “hoax,” issuing a detailed rebuttal claiming the bill will reduce the deficit by $6.6 trillion over the next decade through tariffs, spending cuts, and regulatory rollbacks—while also promising unprecedented economic growth.
When the Musk-Trump partnership first began, many speculated as to how long it would last—and what would push the pair apart.
