KILL the BILL’: Elon Musk Goes Nuclear on Trump’s Megabill, Slams Deficit Surge and EV Cuts in Online Blitz

Elon Musk instructed his 200 million X followers to “KILL the BILL” on Wednesday, intensifying his attacks on President Donald Trump’s signature spending legislation in a nonstop stream of posts. He called the bill a “disgusting abomination,” claimed it would bankrupt the country, and accused Congress of failing the American people. The comments marked a new peak in Musk’s opposition campaign, which has grown louder and more aggressive over the past 48 hours.

Musk, who had dialed back his political posting in recent months, returned in force this week with more than 25 posts and reposts hammering the legislation. He framed the bill as dangerous and fiscally irresponsible, writing, “Mammoth spending bills are bankrupting America! ENOUGH.” In another post, he urged followers to pressure lawmakers directly, saying, “Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok!”

House Speaker Mike Johnson responded to Musk’s criticism on Wednesday morning, saying Musk was “flat wrong” about the bill’s effect on the deficit. Johnson told reporters that he tried to call Musk Tuesday night to discuss the issue, but Musk didn’t answer. In a video post featuring Johnson’s comments, Musk fired back: “We need a new bill that doesn’t grow the deficit.” Later, Musk posted another reply, saying, “No one who actually reads the bill should be able to stomach it.”
