Elon Musk harshly criticized Trump's "Big and Beautiful" tax plan as disgusting, with continuous opposition voices from within the Republican Party.

The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" promoted by U.S. President Trump has been embroiled in controversy lately. Many experts have harshly criticized the bill as a disguised increase in the U.S. debt burden. Even Elon Musk, who has consistently supported Trump, lashed out: "This is a disgusting monster bill." Furthermore, divisions have appeared within the Republican Party, with some lawmakers expressing concerns that the bill will lead to a surge in national debt and refusing to endorse it.

Key Summary

Elon Musk criticized Trump's tax cut plan as "really disgusting," further criticizing the cancellation of green energy subsidies that would affect energy independence and grid stability.

The Republican Party is divided internally, with some senators expressing strong opposition to the issues of debt and fiscal deficit.

Trump attacked opposition voices and forced Congress to pass as soon as possible.

Musk slams "Big and Beautiful", calling it a disaster for the national treasury.

Always supporting Trump, former Efficiency Department leader (DOGE) Elon Musk tweeted on 6/4 on Twitter (X) about the "Big and Beautiful Act" and stated:

"I really can't stand it. This huge, absurd, and filled with quid pro quo clauses Congressional spending bill is truly disgusting. Those who vote in favor of this bill are really shameful; you clearly know in your hearts that this is wrong, yet you still support it."

In addition to criticizing the overall budget size, Musk is also dissatisfied with the bill's proposal to "cut Biden-era electric vehicle and green energy subsidies." He retweeted the official statement from Tesla Energy (Tesla Energy), pointing out that this would jeopardize U.S. energy independence and grid stability.

Some Republican lawmakers support Musk, while Trump strongly attacks opposing voices.

Some Republican senators also support Musk's remarks, such as Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee, who reposted the message saying:

"The Senate has the ability to make this bill better, and it must be executed now!"

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul candidly stated during an interview: "This bill will cause the national debt to skyrocket, and I cannot support it." He estimates that the bill will increase the debt by 5 trillion dollars.

After the news broke, Trump retaliated on his own social platform Truth Social against Rand Paul:

"He loves to sing the opposite tune, thinking that his political maneuvering is very clever, and the Big and Beautiful Act is the best!"

This war of words also reflects the deep rifts within the Republican Party on fiscal issues.

The Trump administration strongly supports "Big and Beautiful," cutting taxes by 4 trillion but the deficit still skyrockets.

According to reports, in the face of skepticism, both the White House and the Treasury Department continue to strongly support the "Big and Beautiful Act" which focuses on "tax reform" and "debt limits." White House spokesperson Leavitt stated, "President Trump has long known Musk's position, but this will not change his view."

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expressed support after talks with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who also stated that raising the debt ceiling is imperative and must not fail. However, according to estimates from the U.S. Treasury, the United States could run out of borrowing capacity as early as August or September of this year.

The current bill passed by the House of Representatives is estimated to reduce federal revenue by about 4 trillion dollars over the next ten years. Even with cuts to social welfare expenditures such as healthcare subsidies and food stamps, it will still increase the deficit by about 2.5 trillion dollars.

The outlook for the bill is unclear, and the Senate votes are still at a standstill.

Currently, there are 53 Republican senators in the Senate, and at least 51 votes are needed to pass a bill. However, more than 16 senators have concerns about the content of the bill, including issues such as raising the debt ceiling, canceling subsidies, and expanding the deficit.

Some Republican senators advocate for accepting a "short-term, one-year" increase in the debt limit, but it must be accompanied by significant spending cuts as a trade-off. The Senate is expected to continue negotiations in the coming weeks, and Trump hopes to meet with the Senate Finance Committee as soon as possible to consolidate opinions and get the bill passed.
