TENSIONS between Elon Musk and Donald Trump erupted Tuesday as the world's richest man derided the president's key piece of economic legislation in a startling rupture just days after exiting a controversial job in the White House.
Musk was lauded by the Republican leader as he left his advisory role atop Trump's Department of Government Efficiency' last week, despite criticism over his failure to deliver on promises of radical spending cuts.
This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,'
Musk posted on X as he followed its progress from the side-lines, in by far his most caustic remarks on Trump's agenda.
鈥楽hame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong.鈥�
It was not Musk's first comments on Trump's so-called 鈥榖ig, beautiful bill鈥� which is set to add $3 trillion to US deficits over a 10-year horizon, despite deep cuts to health and food aid programs.
