Elon Musk slams Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” calls for new political party
Political billionaire Elon Musk launched a scathing attack on Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” (BBB), his wide-ranging tax and spending proposal aimed at significant economic reform. Musk described it as reckless and fiscally irresponsible, warning it could jeopardize long-term growth in a series of posts and interviews today.
In a surprise twist, Musk suggested that Trump’s initiative may mark the start of a new political movement – one not confined to traditional party lines. He hinted at forming a coalition of technologists and fiscal conservatives disillusioned with both major U.S. parties.
Trump quickly fired back, defending the BBB as essential for American competitiveness, job creation, and tax relief. He labeled Musk’s comments as elitist and detached from the concerns of average voters.
This public clash highlights a deepening divide among conservative voices: populist anti-tax rhetoric versus Silicon Valley’s pragmatic approach to economic stewardship—an ideological schism that could shape the Republican Party’s future.
