Elon Musk’s New Attack on Trump’s Administration: ‘Kill the New Tax Bill’

in

In a bold move, Elon Musk has once again criticized Trump’s administration over the new tax bill. Just one day after Elon Musk urged Americans to contact their representatives and senators to “kill” the proposed legislation, he reiterated his stance on social media. “Call your senator, call your congressman,” Musk wrote. “Bankrupting America is NOT okay!” This criticism from Elon Musk places him in direct conflict with Donald Trump during a critical period for the U.S. president, who is pressuring lawmakers to pass the bill. Musk’s campaign could amplify dissent within the Republican Party and delay the approval of tax cuts and the debt ceiling increase. The attacks come shortly after Musk resigned as head of the Government Accountability Office task force aimed at reducing federal spending. His involvement in Trump’s administration reportedly harmed his business interests, causing Tesla electric car sales to decline. According to an estimate released Wednesday by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the tax bill is expected to add $2.4 trillion to the U.S. public debt over the next decade.
