- Elon Musk criticizes Senate Republicans’ domestic policy bill, calling it “insane and destructive” as legislative deadlines loom. The bill, central to President Trump’s agenda, aims to reshape taxes, Medicaid, and federal spending priorities.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has openly condemned a new domestic policy bill introduced by Senate Republicans, describing it as “utterly insane and destructive” in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday. The legislation, a key component of President Trump’s agenda, seeks to overhaul taxes, scale back Medicaid, and increase funding for military and immigration enforcement.
Controversial Legislation Sparks Fierce Debate
The 940-page bill, released Saturday morning by Senate Republicans, is designed to push forward President Trump’s policy priorities. It closely mirrors the House’s version, proposing major tax reductions while cutting federal spending on Medicaid and nutritional assistance. The bill also includes additional measures to secure support from Republican holdouts, such as a fund for rural hospitals reliant on Medicaid funding.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell expressed optimism about the bill’s passage. “This legislation represents a significant step forward in delivering on our promises to the American people,” McConnell said in a statement.

However, Musk strongly disagreed, claiming the bill would have devastating consequences for the U.S. economy. “The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!” Musk posted on X.
The Backstory: Musk’s Feud with President Trump
Musk’s criticism recalls his earlier dispute with President Trump over the legislation. Musk had previously described the bill as a “disgusting abomination” that would exacerbate the national debt and nullify savings identified by the Department of Government Efficiency, a federal initiative he had led.
The public feud between Musk and President Trump escalated earlier in June, with both trading personal attacks. Musk suggested Trump’s name was linked to financier Jeffrey Epstein, while Trump accused Musk of erratic behavior allegedly tied to drug use. Despite Musk expressing regret over his comments, their relationship remains tense.
Implications for Senate Action and Broader Public Policy
The bill’s release comes as Senate Republicans race against a July 4 deadline set by President Trump. With a slim majority, GOP leaders face the challenge of uniting their party to ensure the legislation’s passage. Provisions like the rural hospital fund aim to appease moderate Republicans concerned about Medicaid cuts.

Policy experts warn that the bill could have significant social and economic impacts. “If passed, this legislation will fundamentally shift how federal resources are allocated, potentially leaving vulnerable populations at risk,” said Dr. Andrea Holt, a public policy analyst at Georgetown University.
At the same time, proponents argue that the bill addresses long-standing inefficiencies in federal programs. “We’re creating a framework for a leaner, more effective government that prioritizes national security and economic growth,” said Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas.
What’s Next?
Senate Republicans are preparing for a vote in the coming days, with hopes of securing House approval shortly after. Meanwhile, Musk’s criticism has reignited public debate over the ethical and economic implications of the bill.
Readers are encouraged to share their thoughts on the proposed legislation and its potential impact.
