Elon Musk urged Americans to call their congressional representatives and tell them to “kill” the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill.’

“Call your Senator, Call your Congressman,” Musk said.

“Bankrupting America is NOT ok! KILL the BILL,” he added.

“The Big Beautiful Bill is a debt bomb ticking. It’s also the biggest missed opportunity conservatives have ever had to put our country back on a track of fiscal sanity. If we defeat this bill, a better one can be offered that won’t bankrupt our country,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) commented.

Musk also posted a meme from the “Kill Bill” film series.

ABC News reports:

Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters Wednesday morning that Musk was “flat wrong” about his criticisms on the spending bill and its effect on the deficit — adding that he tried to call the tech billionaire Tuesday night, but Musk didn’t answer.

In a video post on X of Johnson making the comment, Musk responded: “We need a new bill that doesn’t grow the deficit.”

Musk then replied to another video of Johnson, writing: “No one who actually reads the bill should be able to stomach it”

Johnson responded to Musk’s demand for a new bill, saying “we don’t have time for a brand-new bill.”

“And I want Elon and all my friends to recognize the complexity of what we’ve accomplished here, this extraordinary piece of legislation, record number of savings, the record tax cuts for the American people, and all the other benefits in it,” Johnson said during a gaggle with reporters outside his office Wednesday.

Musk’s comments follow his post calling the legislation a “disgusting abomination.”

“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,” Musk said.

“Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it,” he added.

Per USA TODAY:

The argument signals a showdown between Trump and his billionaire former advisor, and it may threaten to derail the legislation as Musk inflames existing tensions in the Republican conference. Several GOP senators, including Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, Rick Scott, R-Florida, and Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, have also raised concerns about the package’s overall cost.
