Elon Musk seemed kinda mad Tuesday ― and the internet couldn’t have been happier.
President Donald Trump’s former adviser for the unofficial Department of Government Efficiency took to his X social media platform to gripe about the passage of the president’s so-called Big Beautiful Bill, calling it “outrageous” and “a disgusting abomination.”
I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore.

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.
To be fair, it’s not like the man-child mogul was previously hiding his feelings.
Back in May, he criticized the version that passed the House as a “massive spending bill” that increases the federal deficit and “undermines the work” done by DOGE.
On Monday, Republican politicians who worked on the bill pushed back against Musk’s attack, saying he didn’t understand how it worked.
Many social media users on X, formerly Twitter, reacted to Musk’s latest attack with a lot of schadenfreude, that oh-so-apt German word that means finding happiness in another person’s misery.
Elon Musk just went OFF on Donald Trump and the Republicans. Seems like their divorce is happening ASAP! pic.twitter.com/5TXxsDK8v7

So the extremely obvious prediction that Musk and Trump would last 3-4 months before they got into a huge fight and broke was, in retrospect, pretty much 100% correct https://t.co/2644k9r3Gj

I bet that the Trump Administration will investigate Musk's companies and charge him with something before the end of the year. https://t.co/pcWZFG9MKV

Republicans are such big sellouts that even Musk can’t stand them.

Somehow Elon is ignoring the part where tariff revenue more than offsets the spend. Odd

It will not get better. The hogs are still at the trough and will refuse to move away from it. There are not enough honest people in Congress who are willing to stand up for the harder right thing even at this stage of our monumental national debt.

I appreciate you for being honest, but Ive been talking about how Trump would undermine DOGEs efforts since the day DOGE was announced.

This was a very obvious, and predictable outcome. Leave the GOP & Seek Truth.
Weird that you're criticizing Congress instead of the guy behind the bill.

President Trump could have exhibited better leadership and threatened to veto any bill that didn’t help to further the mandate he was given to slash government spending and balance the budget.

The fact that he’s pressuring them all to go along with it is telling.

Well, well, well, what will Republicans do now that their Musk doesn't like their Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill? pic.twitter.com/ZBORMszl5n

Honestly, after you were the reason he was elected, I seriously thought he would be slightly more deferential/respectful to you. No loyalty bc he doesn't need you anymore. You failed to think ahead and you have no leverage now.
