WOW: Elon RIPS President Trump’s Changes! “I’m Sorry, But I Can’t Stand It Anymore”

Go to Article

Elon Musk came out with a shockingly aggressive attack on the changes President Trump is attempting to make to the U.S. federal government.

The President’s push for radically altering what the Biden Administration — and decades of bad governance — had allowed is currently facing battles in both houses of Congress.

In a midday post Musk shamed those who voted for the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ in the House — chastising them for knowingly “doing wrong”.

That single post, and subsequent others, have ignited a firestorm of division among Trump supporters among the voting base, and in Congress.

His initial post has been seen a record 108.9 MILLION TIMES in just 24 hours!

It seems as if he was trying to hold his tongue over the excessive spending he argues is in the bill, and just couldn’t hold it in any longer.

We all know what that’s like.  Sometimes you regret not saying what you are dying to say… and other times you regret finally blowing your top.

Here’s that initial post, expressing his outrage over the President’s spending bill:

One of the top comments appearing under that post dropped just 10 minutes after Elon hit “Post”.

Nick Sortor chimed in with what may be the most level-headed and practical solution:

Notwithstanding the ongoing argument over whether the hit to the deficit and the overall spending in the bill is really as bad as some are arguing — there’s no doubt that a lot of ‘pork’ has made it in to that bill.

So, like Sortor said… just cut it out and send it back to the House!?

Not to put words in his mouth — Elon didn’t comment on Sortor’s suggestion — but my guess is Musk would agree that’s the path forward.

But he wasn’t done venting.

Two hours later he dropped the second post, itself receiving 30 MILLION views at the time of this report:

Now THAT comment came very close to an outright attack on President Trump himself; not just a non-personal policy attack like his first digital outburst.

Peter Doocy asked the White House Press Secretary about Elon’s attack posts, to which Karoline Leavitt attempted to minimize the impact it had on the President:

You have to wonder if behind closed doors… is President Trump really just brushing this off, or is he steaming?

Karoline Leavitt gave a very grown-up answer: differences in opinion don’t have to equate to a FALLING OUT, like those on the left are hoping.

Just imagine the talking points and sound bites if Elon truly comes out against President Trump in a sweeping way.

The mainstream media would have a true hay day if that happens, particularly with several alleged points of friction already making headlines, as reported by the New York Post:

Tech mogul Elon Musk went on a tirade Tuesday against President Trump’s marquee One Big Beautiful Bill Act days after leaving the administration — ripping the legislation as an “abomination” and condemning lawmakers who supported it.

Sources familiar with Musk’s thinking told The Post Tuesday evening that his scorched-earth rant was largely motivated by four factors:

  • House Republicans’ removal of electric vehicle tax credits that were part of the Biden-era Inflation Reduction Act and boosted Tesla
  • White House officials’ refusal to allow him to remain a special government employee beyond the 130-day statutory limit
  • The Federal Aviation Administration opting not to use his Starlink satellite system to help run the nation’s air traffic control
  • Trump pulling his nomination of Musk ally Jared Isaacman to lead NASA over Isaacman’s “prior associations,” widely believed to refer to past donations to Democrats

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told NBC’s “Meet The Press” on Sunday that he had “sent a long text message” to Musk to try to answer his concerns, apparently to no effect. Johnson also claimed he had a more than 20-minute chat with Musk on Monday.

“For him to come out and pan the whole bill is to me just very disappointing, very surprising in light of the conversation I had with him yesterday,” Johnson told reporters Tuesday.

“Obviously, [I] respect everything that Elon did with DOGE. On this particular issue, we have a difference of opinion,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) told reporters Tuesday.

I want to highlight that the source of those four bullet points is “sources familiar with Musk’s thinking”.

So… take that all with a grain of salt.  Who knows if ANY of that is accurate.

But Elon’s attack on the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ certainly doesn’t go very far in throwing water on those purported points of conflict.

This isn’t the first time Elon came out against the bill.

He made waves (though much smaller waves) when he came out with this comment a little over a week ago:

Judging from his somewhat detached attitude in that clip, compared to yesterday’s tirades… something seems to have changed.

Maybe those four bullet points reported by the New York Post are accurate?

Or… maybe he just has more time on his hands now after stepping back from DOGE to really think of things from a 30,000 foot perspective; and this was the result?

He definitely seems like he’s back to his old self, deep-diving on a topic and sending out snippets of his thoughts as he examines and re-examines whatever has his attention forwards and backwards.

He dropped this debt-focused post a little after 1am this morning:

If you’ve read my coverage over the last few weeks, you know I tend to agree with him on these points.

I give room for the possibility that the deficit arguments against the bill MIGHT be failing to give enough credit to the growth boom that would happen as a result of enacting all the points in the bill.

But there’s no doubt… pork is stuffed all through that bill.

Maybe a certain amount of pork is necessary, just in terms of the reality of making movements in the right direction?  Maybe.

Sen. Mullin of Oklahoma definitely thinks so, and he came out this morning with one of the best articulated arguments in favor of the spending bill that I’ve heard so far:

Here’s the full screen version of that video for convenience:

The key takeaway from Sen. Mullin’s argument is similar to what I’ve heard Speaker Johnson ‘try’ to articulate.

The Congressional accounting office doesn’t factor in projected growth as a result of cutting revenue (taxes).

That rings true… which is why I’m not quite ready to dismiss this bill as forthrightly as Elon Musk has.

But the inter-party conflict that this has inflamed among Republicans — on top of the split that has already existed over this bill — is no small thing, as covered by Newsweek:

Elon Musk’s outspoken attacks on President Donald Trump’s flagship spending package, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, has intensified Republican infighting over the legislation and its potential effects on the national debt.

Speaking with Newsweek, one political scientist said Musk could “create a wedge between the White House and Republicans on the Hill” that would “stymie Trump’s legacy in the longer term.”

In recent months, Musk has been one of Trump’s closest political allies, spending about $292 million to back him and other Republicans ahead of the 2024 presidential election and heading up the newly created Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which he stepped down from at the end of May.

As the GOP has only a 53-47 majority in the Senate, a handful of Republican rebels could block the legislation.

Given the number of Republican senators who have spoken out against it, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act may struggle to pass the Senate without significant amendment. If major alterations are made, it could then run into problems in the House, which narrowly approved the original package.

As that article pointed out, the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ is already struggling, and may face more opposition as a result of Elon’s open attack.

Speaker Johnson came out today trying to minimize the break between Elon and those who are in favor of the President’s spending legislation:

But I’m not sure Sen. Thune in the Senate and Speaker Johnson in the House will be able to make the case for the bill in the face of Elon’s opposition — at least not in it’s current form.

Time will tell, and sometimes initial outbursts like this, when they’ve been obviously bottled up for some time, tend to get walked back to a degree.

Not because the person decides they were WRONG, necessarily — but because the person realizes there are practical steps that can be taken to bridge from where the situation presently stands, and where it needs to be taken.

I’m hoping that’s what happens here.  Besides having spearheaded arguably the greatest waste-cutting effort of the American government IN HISTORY…

What Elon Musk thinks and says matters, for better or worse.

Having Elon Musk as an ally is far superior to having him as a detractor.

I’ll be looking for his comments over the next few days to change; not in principle, but from outbursts of anger… to productive, solution-based ideas.
