Elon Musk once again threatened to ramp up his political spending, this time targeting nearly every sitting Republican in Congress who has signaled support for President Donald Trump’s multi-trillion dollar tax bill.
“Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!” Musk posted on his social media platform X. “And they will lose their primary next year if it’s the last thing I do on this Earth.”
Musk, the chief executive officer of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, had told Bloomberg News that he planned to significantly curtail his political spending after shelling out a quarter of a billion dollars in the 2024 cycle, mostly supporting Trump. “I think I’ve done enough,” he said when asked about it in May.
But earlier this month, shortly after leaving his formal government role as an adviser to Trump, the billionaire lambasted the president’s signature tax and spending deal in a series of posts that sparked an online feud and an explosive, hours-long public meltdown between the two men.
It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!!
Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people.
