"Disgusting Abomination": Cold War Between Musk and Trump Explodes Into Public
Briefly

Billionaire Elon Musk has harshly criticized President Donald Trump's spending bill, calling it a 'disgusting abomination' that will significantly increase the federal budget deficit by $3.8 trillion. This tweet marks a notable escalation in Musk's relationship with Trump, which has been tumultuous. Despite previously being allies, Musk's frustration stems from concerns that the bill undermines efforts related to his businesses, particularly those related to cryptocurrency. Following a brief governmental role, Musk’s comments indicate a growing rift between him and Trump, suggesting a shift back to focusing on his own business ventures.
"I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore," Musk, who has had an extremely turbulent on-and-off-again bromance with the president, wrote. "Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it."
Musk first voiced his displeasure with the bill, which is expected to add a whopping $3.8 trillion to an already enormous $36 trillion of debt, last week during an interview with CBS News.
