On June 30, 2025, Elon Musk intensified his opposition to President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” threatening to fund primary challenges against lawmakers who support it and proposing a new “America Party.” The bill, advancing in the Senate, extends $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and funds mass deportations, but adds $3.3 trillion to the U.S. debt.
Musk, former head of the Department of Government Efficiency, called the 940-page bill “utterly insane and destructive” on X, warning it could “destroy millions of jobs” and increase the U.S. debt by $5 trillion. He vowed that lawmakers who campaigned on reducing spending but supported the bill “will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on Earth.” Musk also proposed forming an “America Party” to counter the “Democrat-Republican uniparty,” aiming to give voters a new voice.
Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!
And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.

The bill, a cornerstone of Trump’s agenda, extends his 2017 tax cuts costing $4.5 trillion, boosts military spending, and allocates $350 billion for border security, including mass deportations. It proposes cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, potentially removing 11.8 million Americans from healthcare, per the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The Senate’s 51-49 procedural vote on June 28, despite opposition from Senators Rand Paul and Thom Tillis, moved it to a “vote-a-rama” for amendments, targeting passage by July 4.
The Senate’s narrow Republican majority faces internal divisions, with Paul opposing the $5 trillion debt ceiling increase and Tillis citing the impact of Medicaid cuts on North Carolina. Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, criticise the bill’s tax breaks for the wealthy and social program cuts, demanding its full text be read aloud. If passed, the bill requires House approval, where rebels like Thomas Massie oppose its $3.3 trillion deficit impact, complicating its path.
Elon Musk has claimed that President Trump is in the Epstein files.

— The Times and The Sunday Times (@thetimes) June 5, 2025Musk’s public feud with Trump, his former ally, escalated after he criticised the bill’s “pork-filled” spending. Trump retaliated on Truth Social, threatening to back primary challengers against Tillis, who announced he won’t seek re-election. The rift, sparked by Musk’s earlier post related to Epstein (later deleted), highlights tensions over fiscal policy and GOP unity, with Musk’s wealth potentially funding anti-bill campaigns.
I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore.
This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.
Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.
