Elon Musk calls Donald Trump's tax bill a 'disgusting abomination' | BBC News

Elon Musk has hit out at President Donald Trump's signature tax and spending bill, describing it as a "disgusting abomination", in a widening rift between the two.

The tech billionaire posted on X that the bill would add to the US budget deficit and saddle Americans with "crushing" debt.

The budget, which includes huge tax breaks and more defence spending, was passed by the House of Representatives last month and is now being considered by senators.

"Shame on those who voted for it," said Musk, hinting that he may try to unseat the politicians responsible at next year's midterm elections.
