Elon Musk is facing a torrent of backlash on X after threatening to bankroll primary challenges against Republican lawmakers who support President Donald Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill"—a sprawling $5 trillion tax-and-spending package critics say he helped make possible.
Musk took to his platform Monday night, warning that any Republican who votes for the legislation should "hang their head in shame" and promising to unseat them if it's "the last thing I do on this Earth." He also floated launching a new political party, the "America Party," to counter what he called the "Porky Pig Party" of Washington.
