Elon Musk broke his political silence through a series of core legislative attacks directly at the Trump administration. Tesla and SpaceX CEO reiterated his fierce opposition and had a feud with his former boss before the Senate voted critically on the president’s “one big bill.”
Public rest marks a dramatic turnaround. For months, Musk has been a highly-watched member of the government’s administration, even an unconventional member, responsible for the government’s efficiency, commonly known as Doge. But even in the last few hours of the administration, the world’s wealthiest people began to object to his bill, with Republican leaders rushing to pass the Congress before the July 4 holiday.
Their alliance between Musk and President Donald Trump always had a convenient marriage between two people that broke out publicly on June 5, amid Mosk’s criticism, when he was struggling to reporters in the Oval Office, showing that he was stimulated on his bills only after the electric car subsidy. This triggered the real-time time on Musk on X. The conflict spiraled out from there, and Trump threatened Musk’s lucrative government contract, who had accused Trump of his name in the infamous Epstein archives and then deleted the post.
Now, this boiling conflict is boiling again. Threat is a massive legislation that defines the Trump administration’s second priority. The bill includes in-depth cuts to social programs such as Medicaid and Medicare, a new round of massive tax cuts, and a significant increase in U.S. debt ceilings. Crucial for Musk, it also raised a sharp reduction in clean energy sector and new taxes, a direct threat to his industry through Tesla and his solar venture capital investment
After criticizing the passage of the House of Representatives version, Musk is now launching a full-scale attack on the revised Senate version that voted on June 28. He started by magnifying a post from his social media platform X detailing users of the bill’s active new measures to the green energy sector.
“The new Senate draft will tax all wind and solar projects, unless services are included in the service by the end of 2027, construction has not started today and navigate complex, possibly infeasible requirements to prove they do not use a drop of Chinese material. The bill has since added new taxes to unproven wind and solar projects,” the user released. ”

After that, the bill…

Musk signed the criticism together, then added his own terrible warning about the broader consequences of the bill for the country.
The billionaire wrote: “The latest Senate bill will destroy millions of jobs in the United States and cause huge strategic damage to our country!
The latest draft Senate bill will destroy millions of jobs in the United States and cause huge strategic damage to our country!
Totally crazy and destructive. It provides handouts for past industries while severely undermining future industries.

The question now is how President Trump will react. He received the highest legislative priority through the bill, and his administration worked tirelessly to silence any opposition voices within the party.
Musk did not hesitate to seize another key position and continue his offense. When the same user asked who might want the legislation to be objected by automakers, power companies and data center developers, the tech tycoon agreed and further accepted his criticism.
“Good question. Who?” Musk responded before attacking another core component of the bill. “At the same time, the bill raised the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, the largest increase in history, bringing the United States into debt slavery!”
Good question. WHO?
Meanwhile, the bill raised the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, the largest increase in history, bringing the United States into debt slavery!

Musk, who cited his poll published on X, expressed widespread opposition to the bill’s main purpose, issued his most sharp political warning to date.
“Politics show that the bill is a Republican political suicide,” he posted.

According to reports, vote data conducted by Republican strategic research and voting company Tarrance Group between June 14 and June 19 Musk appears to prove his position. The results show that 53% of respondents agree with Musk’s description of the bill because the bill is “an outrageous pork packaging spending bill that will significantly increase the budget deficit and burden U.S. citizens, and with unsustainable debt burden.” In addition, 57% of those surveyed agreed with his specific claim that legislation “will increase the federal deficit by $2.4 trillion over the next decade.
