Musk Goes Ballistic Against GOP ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ Tax And Spending Package
(ZH) – Let’s be honest, Elon Musk has been made a fool of by the GOP. After assembling the DOGE team and spending months finding egregious levels of waste, fraud and abuse within the US government – i.e. what Trump supporters voted for – House and Senate Republicans gave Musk a little pat on the head, then proceeded to roll out President Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ – that codified exactly zero of DOGE’s findings, raises the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, and relies on ambitious economic projections to achieve what the White House insists is $1.4 trillion in savings (while the Congressional Budget Office projects deficits of $1.7 – $2.3 trillion over the next decade).
Needless to say, Musk is livid.
On Tuesday, Musk posted to X, “I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.”
His post was immediately met with support from Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who said “We can and must do better.”
I agree with Elon. We have both seen the massive waste in government spending and we know another $5 trillion in debt is a huge mistake.
We can and must do better. https://t.co/LwPNJZv5zo

This sent the White House scrambling to do damage control – with Budget Director Russ Vought sending Congress a request for a $9.4 billion clawback for unspent foreign aid funding – which if you’re Musk, after what DOGE has uncovered, is a huge slap in the face.
Kill (the) Bill
On Wednesday, Musk continued to rage on X – posting: “Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok! Kill the Bill.” – followed by a ‘Kill Bill’ movie poster featuring Uma Thurman.
Call your Senator,
Call your Congressman,Bankrupting America is NOT ok!
KILL the BILL

Musk’s solution? A new spending bill that doesn’t jack the debt ceiling by $5 trillion dollars while “massively” growing the deficit.
A new spending bill should be drafted that doesn’t massively grow the deficit and increase the debt ceiling by 5 TRILLION DOLLARS

Musk also amplified several posts supporting his position;
Debt under Democrats: 📈 ⬆️
Debt under Republicans: 📈 ⬆️Neither of the major parties has been successful so far in addressing this issue. pic.twitter.com/C4iSncys6u

77 million Americans voted for DOGE cuts NOT Washington’s wasteful spending.

“I think a bill can be big or it could be beautiful. I don’t know if it could be both.”

Needless to say, the GOP has quite the shitshow on its hands. Maybe next time enact the will of the people, bitchez.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)

They shouldn’t be doing this. Elon and Rand are right. I’m disappointed that this seems to be more of what we have seen for decades, a government that just can’t stop spending us into oblivion.
