Scoop: Four reasons Musk attacked Trump's "big beautiful bill"

1. "The legislation cuts the electric vehicle tax credit that helps car makers like Musk's Tesla."

2. "Musk was working at the White House as what's called a "special government employee," and he had discussed trying to stay in that role beyond the 130-day time limit set by statute for the unpaid advisory position."

3. "Musk also wanted the Federal Aviation Administration to use his Starlink satellite system for national air traffic control"

4. "The final straw for Musk appeared to come Saturday night, when Trump abruptly announced he was withdrawing the nomination of Jared Isaacman, a Musk ally, to be NASA administrator."

"Musk had also grown increasingly frustrated with the Trump administration striking artificial intelligence deals with his competitor OpenAI, sources tell ABC News."


'KILL the BILL': Elon Musk continues to blast Trump's bill in barrage of social media posts

"Elon Musk is continuing his attacks on President Donald Trump's signature bill on Wednesday with a barrage of posts on X slamming the megabill, saying in one that no one "should be able to stomach it," while another instructed his more than 200 million followers to call members of Congress to "KILL the BILL."

"Musk, who until recently had largely scaled back posting about politics, on Wednesday alone has already posted or helped amplify posts on X criticizing the bill more than 25 times."

Well how about that. Maybe MUSK just wants legal, competent, and sustainable fiscal management of the Federal government after all....
