Musk 'Disappointed' With Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' Spending

The Spin

Musk and others are free to disagree with the president and his bill. But they can't ignore the record amount of mandatory savings included in it, not to mention the economic growth it will spark in order to offset initial deficit increases. Passing this bill will be a major victory for Republicans.

There should be far more concern surrounding this bill, especially given the objections from Elon Musk and several GOP members — even as Trump and others push aggressively for its passage. Regardless of how much DOGE has saved American taxpayers, the numbers show this bill will have the opposite effect on America's budget.

Metaculus Prediction

There's a 57% chance that Musk will cease to be an advisor to Trump and face public criticism from Trump before 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
