In a political drama worthy of a Netflix miniseries, Elon Musk has ignited a firestorm by publicly denouncing President Donald Trump’s flagship legislation—dubbed the “One Big Beautiful Bill”—as “utterly insane and destructive.” The Tesla and SpaceX CEO didn’t hold back, warning that the bill would “destroy millions of jobs in America” and “cause immense strategic harm to our country”.

Musk’s tirade, posted on his platform X, came just hours before the Senate advanced the bill in a razor-thin 51–49 vote. The legislation, a sweeping 940-page package, combines massive tax cuts with deep spending cuts to social programs, while boosting military and fossil fuel investments. Musk, who once led Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), now claims the bill is a betrayal of future-focused industries like clean energy and AI.


The fallout was immediate. Tesla’s stock plunged 14% after Trump hinted at reviewing federal contracts with Musk’s companies. The President, reportedly fuming, took to Truth Social to threaten primary challenges against GOP senators who opposed the bill—and to suggest Musk had “a lot of money to lose” if he kept poking the bear.


The Musk–Trump bromance, once sealed with campaign donations and Oval Office photo ops, has now devolved into a full-blown feud. Musk, who previously called the bill a “disgusting abomination,” is now rallying public opinion with polls showing widespread opposition—even among Republicans.


With the bill heading back to the House and tensions at a boiling point, the question isn’t just whether the legislation will pass—it’s whether this billionaire battle will reshape the political landscape. Will Musk’s rebellion fracture the GOP’s tech ties, or will Trump double down and make an example of his former ally?
