Elon Musk has criticized Trump's 'big beautiful bill' just days after leaving his role in the White House.
Last week, the billionaire tech mogul announced his time steering the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had come to an end and he officially departed on Friday (May 30).
It was a rocky road for Musk ever since he took on the 'special government employee' role in January, though he stood strong as Donald Trump's so-called 'first buddy' throughout.

Now that he's left the White House, however, the Tesla boss isn't holding back on his criticism of the Trump administration's new 'big beautiful bill'.
The bill, which passed the house by one vote on May 22, includes a raft of temporary tax cuts up until 2028, including no taxes on tips for workers in the service and beauty industries, and a freeze on taxes on those working overtime, all while redirecting funds to military and border security.

Taking to Twitter, Musk slammed the legislation as an 'abomination' and condemned those who voted in favor of it.

He wrote: "I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.
"Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it."
In a follow-up rant, the SpaceX founder added: "It will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt."
He also accused Congress of 'making America bankrupt' and said in November next year 'we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people.'

According to the New York Post, sources told the outlet that they believed his criticism has been motivated by several factors.
This includes the fact House Republicans removed electric vehicle tax credits that once boosted Tesla, and that he has been unable to remain at the head of DOGE beyond the statutory 130-day limit.
The Federal Aviation Administration is also reportedly opting against using his Starlink satellite system to help with the nation's air traffic control.

Meanwhile, Trump also pulled Musk's ally Jared Isaacman from leading NASA over his alleged 'prior associations,' believed to refer to the astronaut's previous donations to Democrats, the Post added.
It isn't the first time Musk has positioned himself against the bill either, previously saying in an interview with CBS that he was 'disappointed' to see the legislation in action, describing it as 'undermin[ing] the work that the DOGE team is doing'.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said about the rant: "The president already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill. It doesn’t change his opinion.”

As well as tax cuts, the bill also paves the way for tax deductions on up to $10,000 in interest on auto loans for cars made on US soil, and $200 taxes on gun silencers.
Controversially, it also seeks to cut Medicaid and SNAP food stamp benefits to make up for scores of the lost tax revenue, by curbing funds for undocumented immigrants and a ban on children and adults accessing funds for gender transition services.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated 8.6 million fewer people would have healthcare coverage as a result while the changes to Medicaid, food stamps and other services pose a saving of one trillion dollars.
