Musk has blasted President Donald Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill," calling out the potential for the spending package to increase the national debt.

This is Washington’s MO: short-term politicking over long-term sustainability.’ Musk reposted this comment, expressing agreement with a ‘100’ emoji, his first public statement on the bill since its official passage.

This week, Trump has said Musk would have to "close up shop and head back home to South Africa" if he halted government subsidies to his companies, and then later added that his administration would "have to take a look" at deporting Musk.
