Let’s be honest, Elon Musk has been made a fool of by the GOP. After assembling the DOGE team and spending months finding egregious levels of waste, fraud and abuse within the US government – i.e. what Trump supporters voted for – House and Senate Republicans gave Musk a little pat on the head, then proceeded to roll out President Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ – that codified exactly zero of DOGE’s findings, raises the debt ceiling by $5 trillion, and relies on ambitious economic projections to achieve what the White House insists is $1.4 trillion in savings (while the Congressional Budget Office projects deficits of $1.7 – $2.3 trillion over the next decade).
Needless to say, Musk is livid.
On Tuesday, Musk posted to X, “I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.”
His post was immediately met with support from Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), who said “We can and must do better.”
I agree with Elon. We have both seen the massive waste in government spending and we know another $5 trillion in debt is a huge mistake.
We can and must do better. https://t.co/LwPNJZv5zo

This sent the White House scrambling to do damage control – with Budget Director Russ Vought sending Congress a request for a $9.4 billion clawback for unspent foreign aid funding – which if you’re Musk, after what DOGE has uncovered, is a huge slap in the face.
Kill (the) Bill
On Wednesday, Musk continued to rage on X – posting: “Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok! Kill the Bill.” – followed by a ‘Kill Bill’ movie poster featuring Uma Thurman.
Call your Senator,
Call your Congressman,Bankrupting America is NOT ok!
KILL the BILL

Musk’s solution? A new spending bill that doesn’t jack the debt ceiling by $5 trillion dollars while “massively” growing the deficit.
A new spending bill should be drafted that doesn’t massively grow the deficit and increase the debt ceiling by 5 TRILLION DOLLARS

Musk also amplified several posts supporting his position;
Debt under Democrats: 📈 ⬆️
Debt under Republicans: 📈 ⬆️Neither of the major parties has been successful so far in addressing this issue. pic.twitter.com/C4iSncys6u

77 million Americans voted for DOGE cuts NOT Washington’s wasteful spending.

“I think a bill can be big or it could be beautiful. I don’t know if it could be both.”

Needless to say, the GOP has quite the shitshow on its hands. Maybe next time enact the will of the people, bitchez.
