Elon Musk, the prominent tech entrepreneur, voiced strong criticism on Saturday regarding Donald Trump's recent, extensive tax and spending bill, labelling it "completely insane and destructive." He stated the latest Senate bill "will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause significant strategic harm to our country," Musk wrote. He further added the criticism, "Utterly insane and destructive," "It provides benefits to outdated industries while severely harming future-focused industries." Musk also suggested passing the package would be "political suicide for the Republican Party."
This marks a return to a recent sharp disagreement between the former head of the Department of Government Efficiency and the administration he recently left. Republicans face another complication as Senate leaders have been working urgently over the weekend to pass the legislation before Trump's July 4 deadline.
Earlier in the month, Musk similarly opposed a House version of Trump's "significant proposal," describing it as a "revolting affront." He had said then that this "large, outrageous, pork-barrel Congressional spending bill is a revolting affront." Shame on the voters, you know you acted wrongly, he claimed at the time.
Musk's forceful attack on Trump's spending initiatives has created a deep, public divide between the billionaire and the President, even though Musk has reportedly been attempting to mend relations recently. On Saturday, Musk published a number of negative comments about the Senate bill, which argued the regulation endangers American investments in renewable energy. He amplified remarks from Jesse Jenkins, an energy systems engineer at Princeton.
After Jenkins stated the energy elements in the Republican bill were "truly so bad! Who wants this?" Musk responded: "A valid question. Who?"
Musk's ongoing opposition to Trump's budget proposals occurs while the bill faces obstacles in the Senate. Republicans plan to use their advantageous status to overcome Democratic resistance, but some Republican senators are concerned about measures that lower funding for Medicaid and food stamps to help cover the expense of the tax breaks' extension. Fiscal conservatives are also anxious about the national debt and are advocating for more significant reductions.
