Musk Vows to Unseat GOP Lawmakers Supporting Trump Budget Bill

News summary

Elon Musk has publicly vowed to unseat Republican lawmakers who support President Donald Trump's sweeping budget bill, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, criticizing it for drastically increasing the national debt by trillions of dollars. Musk, who previously supported Trump and his administration through significant campaign contributions and his role in the Department of Government Efficiency, has sharply reversed his stance, calling the bill an "insane spending" measure that threatens jobs and America’s strategic interests. He condemned lawmakers who campaigned on reducing government spending but voted for the bill, warning they will lose their primaries next year and pledging to fund primary challengers against them. Musk also announced plans to form a new political party, dubbed the "America Party," to provide an alternative to what he described as the current one-party system dominated by the "PORKY PIG PARTY." His criticism has found some support among Republican senators like Rand Paul and Thom Tillis, but the White House and Trump are pushing hard for the bill’s swift passage. Musk’s renewed opposition signals a deepening rift between him and Trump, despite Musk’s prior financial backing of the president’s 2024 campaign.
