Trump-Backed Spending Bill Faces Criticism From Elon Musk, Senate Review

President Donald Trump's recently passed tax and spending bill, dubbed the "One Big Beautiful Bill," has sparked significant controversy and criticism from billionaire Elon Musk, who called it a "disgusting abomination" and condemned its potential to greatly increase the U.S. federal deficit. The bill, which includes tax breaks and increased defense spending while cutting social programs, is estimated to add hundreds of billions to the budget deficit and has drawn bipartisan concern about fiscal responsibility. Musk's harsh critique has found support among some conservative lawmakers, including Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who acknowledged public frustration with federal debt and partially agreed with Musk's stance. The bill passed the House narrowly and is under Senate review, where divisions remain over permanent tax breaks and spending cuts. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has also reportedly expressed agreement with Musk's negative assessment of the spending plan, highlighting the rare bipartisan unease regarding the measure's fiscal impact. This debate underscores the tensions in Congress over managing the national debt while addressing key policy priorities advocated by President Trump.
