Musk Opposes the "Big Beautiful Bill"
Elon Musk has expressed severe criticism of the spending bill titled the "Big Beautiful Bill," proposed by the administration of former President Donald Trump. He has continuously criticized the bill and recently posted a warning on social media. Musk declared that he would start a new political party the next day if the bill passed.
Earlier Opposition and Political Tension
Musk has been against the bill since it was first introduced. His opposition has created palpable tension between him and President Trump. The Senate just passed the bill, which led Musk to react by posting a series of messages on X (Twitter). He called the bill unpopular and destructive.
Concerns Over National Debt and Welfare Cuts
The bill would significantly increase the nation's debt, increasing by as much as $5 trillion, according to Musk. He also warned that the bill would scale down social welfare programs. He accused lawmakers of going against the campaign promises they made to slash the government budget.
Call for a New Political Movement
Musk stated that now is the time for a new political party that will better serve the public. If this bill gets passed, he is going to start "The America Party" immediately. He underlined that the politics of today need an alternative to the Democratic-Republican establishment.
Criticism of Lawmakers
Musk admonished legislators for their change of heart. He pointed out that they campaigned on a promise to reduce spending but are now backing a bill that raises the burden of debt. He described their move as shameful and threatened political repercussions.
