Elon Musk has slammed Trump’s tax package.
Notably, Musk’s exit comes just one day after he criticized the centerpiece of President Trump’s legislative program, claiming he was “disappointed” by what the president refers to as his “big beautiful bill.”
In an interview with CBS, Musk referred to the legislation as a “huge expenditure package” that “undermines the work of his Department of Government Efficiency,” or DOGE,” and increases the government debt.
Musk stated, “I think a bill can be either big or elegant, but I’m not sure if it could be both.”
Speaking in the Oval Office on Wednesday, Trump defended his agenda by discussing the delicate politics involved in crafting the legislation, following Musk’s CBS interview that was released Tuesday night.
“I’m dissatisfied about certain aspects of it, but I’m thrilled by other aspects of it,” said he.
Trump added that other adjustments might be possible. “We’ll wait and see what occurs. There is still work to be done,” he stated.
