Tensions between Elon Musk and Donald Trump continue to escalate, as the billionaire launches another scathing critique of the former U.S. president over his administration’s new tax bill. On Monday (June 30, 2025), Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) to criticize the Republican-backed legislation, accusing lawmakers of irresponsible spending and calling for a new political movement that truly represents the people’s interests.
In a series of posts, Musk highlighted the staggering $5 trillion increase in the debt ceiling proposed under the bill, which he claims solidifies America as a one-party state. “It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!!” Musk wrote, reiterating his call for a new political party that prioritizes public interest over partisan politics.
He continued his attack in a follow-up post, targeting members of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending but voted in favor of the historic debt hike. “Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame! And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth,” Musk declared.
The term “Porky Pig Party” is clearly meant to mock the Republican Party, implying that its leaders are wasteful and greedy, acting against the best interests of American citizens. The remark adds fuel to an ongoing feud between Musk and Trump, once close allies, now increasingly at odds over policy and political direction.
Musk’s comments come amid rising concerns about the national debt and growing dissatisfaction among conservative voters over fiscal policies. As the 2026 midterm elections approach, the tech mogul appears poised to play an active role in shaping the political landscape.
