Elon Musk raised his attack on President Donald Trump on Wednesday, who is pushing Congress to pass, claiming that it would condemn "debt slavery" in the United States and urge lawmakers to "kill the bill."

Musk wrote in detail on his social media website condemning the budget plan: “Call your senator, call your MP.

“A new spending bill should be drafted that will not significantly increase the deficit and increase the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.” Tesla SpaceX CEO suggested in another article.

Musk's fusillade began Tuesday when he slammed Trump for calling the "big and beautiful bill" "annoying abhorrent."

Since then, Musk has sent over twenty X posts or reposts, postings that explicitly criticize the bill or comment on related issues such as the scale of U.S. debt.

The ongoing barrage happened a few days after Musk left the Trump administration, who temporarily served as head of the president's administration's wrestling team, called the Ministry of Government Efficiency, or.

Musk said he was refocusing on electric vehicles and rocket businesses, and he was prompted to oppose the bill, partly because it cuts the EV tax credits, helping Tesla help Tesla.

Musk also discussed continuing to serve as a "special government employee" for Trump, more than 130 days of legal restrictions, but he was rejected by the White House, according to NBC.

NBC reported that there were two other conflict points: The Trump administration rejected Musk's idea that the Federal Aviation Administration stood out from his Starlink satellite system and withdrew Musk's preferred choice to become NASA administrator.

Trump praised Musk for his public hostility to the bill during his dispatch at the White House last Friday.

But on Wednesday afternoon, Trump’s account on his social media website Truth Society reposted screenshots of Musk, thanking the president for letting him lead his leadership.
