Elon Musk escalates attack on Trump's mega bill --In a 51-49 vote, the U.S. Senate has decided to begin discussing the legislation | 29 June 2025 | Billionaire Elon Musk launched a renewed attack on U.S. President Donald Trump's budget bill on Saturday, calling it "utterly insane" and warning that it would hurl America into "debt slavery" and destroy millions of jobs. The dispute between the two men who were once close allies turned ugly earlier in June over Trump's "big, beautiful" tax and spending bill. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO's outburst came hours before Senate Republicans narrowly advanced the bill in a 51-49 procedural vote, with Vice President J.D. Vance on standby to break a potential tie. Musk took to X to condemn the legislation, writing, "The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!"
