Musk Calls Trump Big Beautiful Bill a Disgusting Abomination After DOGE Exit

Elon Musk publicly called Trump's signature reconciliation legislation a "disgusting abomination" on his social media platform X, just days after stepping back from his formal DOGE advisory role. Musk objected specifically to the bill's failure to cut spending sufficiently, its Medicaid work requirements timeline, and provisions he claimed would increase the deficit. The public break marked the first significant public rift between Musk and Trump since their political alliance began in 2024.
