Elon Musk seems to be unhappy with the sweeping spending bill narrowly passed by the House at the urging of President Donald Trump.
Musk, in unusual criticism of a cause favored by his ally the president, said in an interview excerpt released Tuesday that the Trump-backed “Big Beautiful Bill” contradicts the goals of his Department of Government Efficiency.
“I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,” the billionaire Tesla CEO said in an interview with CBS scheduled to run in full Sunday.
The megabill, which passed through the House by a single vote last week, incorporates much of Trump’s domestic agenda on tax cuts, immigration and other matters.
