US EditionElon Musk 'disappointed' by the cost of Trump's tax bill, says it undermines DOGE work
- Elon Musk criticized President Trump's recent tax legislation as a large spending bill that raises the federal deficit while undermining his Department of Government Efficiency .
- Musk’s disappointment follows the bill's passage in the House last week and preliminary Congressional Budget Office estimates projecting a $3.8 trillion deficit increase over ten years despite some spending cuts.
- The legislation includes tax cuts and stricter immigration enforcement, while Republicans push for bigger spending cuts and debate the measure in the Senate amid concerns about maintaining a delicate balance.
- Musk stated, 'A bill can be big or it could be beautiful,' adding, 'I don't know if it could be both,' reflecting mixed feelings about the measure's impact on reducing government inefficiency.
- Following his criticism, Musk is stepping back from government roles to refocus on Tesla, while the bill’s Senate version may become more aggressive and still faces potential changes affecting its final balance.
