Elon Musk hit out at President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful" tax and spending bill, posting on X that he "can't stand" the legislation and describing it as a "disgusting abomination". The bill - which includes multi-trillion dollar tax breaks and increased defence spending while also allowing the US government to borrow more money - was passed by the House of Representatives in May.

Elon Musk on Tuesday amplified his criticism of the sweeping tax and spending bill that President Donald Trump has been pushing fellow Republicans in Congress to embrace, calling it a "disgusting abomination" that will increase the deficit.
