On Saturday, Elon Musk criticized the draft law that US President Donald Trump called "A Big Beautiful Bill". He criticized Trump's domestic policy bill, which Republicans are trying to pass in the Senate.
A few weeks after the end of the "war of words" between the two over some provisions of the bill, Musk has again made political comments against Trump.
On Saturday morning, Republican leaders released a 940-page new bill to fulfill the president's agenda. The bill would cut taxes, cut Medicare funding, cut nutrition aid, and increase spending on the military and immigration enforcement.
However, the Senate also included some new measures with more funding to help hospitals in Republican-dominated rural areas dependent on prescription drug funding. Republican majority leaders are hoping to pass the bill in the Senate and win final approval in the House before Trump's July 4 deadline.
Billionaire Musk, the chief executive of Tesla and SpaceX, has been relatively quiet since his war of words with President Trump. But after announcing that the Senate would discuss the package on Saturday, he re-entered the debate, calling the bill "absolutely crazy and destructive" in a post on his social network X. "The Senate's latest bill will destroy millions of American jobs and cause great strategic harm to our country," he wrote.
This bill is the reason for his bitter relationship with President Trump. According to Musk, the bill would significantly increase the national debt. Musk also believes he will undermine the federal government's cost-cutting and capacity-building project, Dodge, which he took over after President Trump took office. He called the bill "disgusting" and claimed that it would turn America upside down.
The relationship with Trump turned into a personal taunt after Musk made similar comments on the bill last time. Musk claimed that Trump's name was also in the government investigation file on Jeffrey Epstein, who committed suicide in prison after being a convicted sex offender. In response, Trump said that Musk's behavior was linked to "madness" and drug use.
After withdrawing from the role given by Trump after the swearing in of the president, for some time now Musk has been focusing on running his company again. About a week after their dispute, Musk himself apologized for some of his posts, saying it "went too far." However, Trump has said he has no interest in improving relations with Musk.
