President Trump responded to Elon Musk’s criticism of the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill,’ saying he’s “very disappointed” with him.

“I’m very disappointed because Elon knew the innerworkings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here,” Trump told reporters.

“He only developed a problem when he found out we’re going to have to cut the EV mandate,” he continued.

“He never had a problem until right after he left,” Trump said.

“I’m very disappointed in Elon. I’ve helped Elon a lot,” he added.

“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Musk responded.

“Such ingratitude,” he added.

From the New York Post:

Musk has been on a three-day warpath against the Trump-endorsed reconciliation legislation in a slew of posts on X after departing as head of the Department of Government Efficiency on Friday, calling the measure “disgusting” and urging Congress to “kill the bill.”

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO publicly slammed the GOP proposal for potentially adding trillions to the deficit, and was privately irked by the removal of Biden-era tax credits for electric vehicles, among other grievances.

“False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!” Musk said.

“Whatever. Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil & gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill,” Musk said in another post.

“In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this! Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim and beautiful bill. Slim and beautiful is the way,” he added.

“Keep the good, remove the bad,” he added.

Fox News reports:

Trump-loyalist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., dropped a bombshell this week, revealing that she had not read the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in its entirety and no longer supports it.

Greene joins the growing list of President Donald Trump’s staunchest House GOP allies who have come out in opposition of the bill they voted for two weeks ago.

Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., another loyal MAGA member, said Elon Musk was “right to call out House Leadership” this week.

“I wish I had a nickel for every time the @freedomcaucus sounded the alarm and nobody listened, only to find out the hard way we were right all along. We expect MASSIVE improvements from the Senate before it gets back to the House,” Perry said, referring to the bill he voted for.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed by one vote in the House after weeks of overnight committee debates and last-minute huddles in House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office. Coined by Trump himself, he has championed the legislation to fulfill his key campaign promises, including border security, American energy production and tax cuts.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is under consideration by both a Republican-led White House and Congress. But it’s faced hiccups in the Senate this week as Republicans have indicated they do not support the bill in its current form.
