BATTLEFORWORLD.COM | June 6, 2025: The tech billionaire Elon Musk is very unhappy with US President Trump's tax and spending bill being pushed through congress, padded with a lot of pork (i.e., contains numerous earmark). President Trump replied that he's “very disappointed” with Musk's criticism about his tax and spending bill.

The tech mogul criticized the legislation as the ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’ for increasing the national debt and thus counteracting the objectives of DOGE.

Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, and owner of X, recently resigned from running the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an investigation body created by Trump in his second term to look into federal spending, and implement widespread cuts, which caused a commotion. Musk is returning back to corporate work to focus on his business ventures, which have taken hits from media bashing, causing some Tesla property damage from hooligans wild-up from negative media reporting about Musk, because of what he was doing with DOGE, going after deceptive funding of many things unknown to the general public.

On Thursday, speaking to reporters, Trump said Musk – who he claims knew “everything” about the bill – all of a sudden had a problem with it “when he found out that we’re going to have to cut the EV mandate, because that’s billions and billions of dollars…” Trump highlighted further saying, “And if you saw the statements he made about me … I’m very disappointed in Elon. I’ve helped Elon a lot.”

Musk's condemnation continued about the tax-cut bill Trump is squeezing through, claiming this week that it would push the US into “debt slavery” and urged lawmakers to “KILL the BILL.” The House passed the legislation in May, and Trump is scheduled to sign the final version by the Fourth of July, pending Senate approval.

Trump commented that Musk knew the bill better than anyone, but Musk pushed back, posting on X saying, that was “False,” and added that he was never shown the legislation.

In a separate posting on X, Musk upped the ante, accusing the president of “ingratitude.” Noting that “Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” the billionaire said. ...
