Elon Musk: Trump’s tax bill’ll destroy jobs, harm U.S.

X owner Elon Musk has criticised the latest version of United States President Donald Trump’s tax and spending bill released by the U.S. Senate, calling it “utterly insane and destructive”.

Musk said this in a post on X on Saturday, June 28, 2025.

He wrote: “The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!

“Utterly insane and destructive. It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future.”

This comes weeks after the world’s richest person and its most powerful ended a feud sparked by Musk’s opposition to the bill.

The latest criticism reopens a recent fiery conflict between the former head of the Department of Government Efficiency and the administration he recently left.

It also represents yet another headache for Republican Senate leaders who have spent the weekend working overtime to get the legislation through their chamber so it can pass by Trump’s Fourth of July deadline.

Musk has previously made his opinions about Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” clear.

In late May, just a few days before he officially left his post in the federal government, the billionaire businessman said he was “disappointed” with the bill’s price tag.
