Musk Slams Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill': Budget Deficit Soars, DOGE Undermined

Elon Musk criticizes Donald Trump's fiscal policy, highlighting the 'Big Beautiful Bill''s negative impact. The controversial bill, aimed at reducing the budget deficit, has instead increased it, contradicting the promises of austerity. Musk's comments, captured in a recent interview, express disappointment with the massive spending involved. "I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill," Musk stated, adding that it "undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing." The bill's impact on the Government Efficiency Department (DOGE), which Musk previously headed, is a key focus of his criticism. Musk also humorously questioned the bill's ability to be both "big and beautiful." This critique adds another layer to the ongoing debate surrounding the bill's effectiveness and long-term consequences.
