Elon Musk continued his warpath against Donald Trump‘s ‘big, beautiful bill’ by demanding Americans reach out to their representatives to ‘kill’ it.
In an early morning post, the billionaire tech titan and former ‘First Buddy’ – once glued to Trump’s side – claimed that the president is plunging the US into financial ruin.
He spent much of Wednesday fine tuning his attacks against what he called an ‘insane’ spending package that Trump is pushing GOP leadership to have on his desk by the fourth of July.
Musk wrote on X: ‘Call your Senator, call your Congressman, bankrupting America is NOT ok!’
He bulleted his message by demanding: ‘KILL the BILL.’
The Tesla CEO also reiterated his attack line that the bill was forcing Americans into ‘Debt Slavery’ in a quote tweet of fellow anti-bill Republican Rand Paul.
‘This spending bill contains the largest increase in the debt ceiling in US history! It is the Debt Slavery Bill.’
Notably, earlier Wednesday, Trump admitted he agreed with longtime liberal rival ‘Pocahontas’ Elizabeth Warren in saying that the debt ceiling should be scrapped.

In an early morning post, the billionaire tech titan and former ‘First Buddy’ – once glued to Trump’s side – bombastically claimed that the president is plunging the U.S. into financial ruin
Undeterred, Musk also posted an image visualizing the increase in the national debt since 1900 and said: ‘Flatten the curve.’
He proposed that the Congressional GOP leaders – who have stood behind the bill despite a MAGA ‘civil war’ taking place over it – draft ‘a new spending bill… that doesn’t massively grow the deficit and increase the debt ceiling by 5 TRILLION DOLLARS.’
Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed the House last month but is now held up in the Senate where some Republicans agree with Musk’s outrage.
The SpaceX boss began criticizing Trump’s bill earlier this month, then really began tearing into his former best friend with a series of posts on X Tuesday and Wednesday.
Musk is highly influential in MAGA world because of his billions and his control over one of the most popular social media platforms in the U.S.
With 220 million followers on X, and control over the algorithm, Musk could attempt to turn the tide against Trump.
Musk has slammed pro-MAGA lawmakers in Congress who voted for the bill.
‘I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,’ he wrote on X on Tuesday. ‘This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.’

‘Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.’
The MAGA civil war intensified when Trump loyalist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) sided with Musk.
Musk said enough was enough in another Tuesday post where he claimed: ‘Mammoth spending bills are bankrupting America!’
Around 2am on Wednesday morning, Musk continued his tirade on his social media platform.
He also reposted a series of tweets where Musk aligned himself with Republican Sen. Ran Paul of Kentucky, who has been vocal about his opposition to the Big Beautiful Bill.
‘I’ve been pretty consistent in my time in the Senate: I oppose deficit spending—no matter which party is in charge. If we don’t get serious about reigning in the debt, the next generation will pay the price,’ Paul wrote in an X post that Musk reposted to his page.
‘Fiscal responsibility isn’t a campaign slogan,’ Paul continued. ‘It’s a duty which I take very seriously.’
Greene is a longtime ally of Trump in the House – but she said Tuesday she voted to pass the bill without reading a section that would have reversed that decision.

Musk was glued to Trump’s side since his election win and through the first months of his second term – but things seemed to turn sour last month when he departed his DOGE role and became critical of the president’s spending proposal
She promised she would change her vote if the bill retained that section when it returned to the House of Representatives for reconciliation following any changed made by the Senate.
Experts predict the bill’s passage would be dire for the U.S. economy and claim the interest on America’s debt alone would be crippling.
‘Interest payments already consume 25% of all government revenue,’ Musk wrote on X around 2:30 a.m. EST on Wednesday.
The Tesla and SpaceX boss continued: If the massive deficit spending continues, there will only be money for interest payments and nothing else! No social security, no medical, no defense … nothing.’
It became clear that the bromance between Musk and Trump was over earlier this year as reports emerged regarding clashes the billionaire had with hose in the president’s inner circle.
Additionally, last month Musk left his role with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), laying the ground work for him to break with Trump after his job within government was done.
