"Interest payments already consume 25% of all government revenue. If the massive deficit spending continues, there will only be money for interest payments and nothing else! No social security, no medical, no defense … nothing," he declared in another post.

President Donald Trump has been supporting the proposal that cleared the House last month, but on Tuesday, Musk blasted both the measure and those who voted for it.

"I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it," Musk asserted in a post on X.

When Fox News' Peter Doocy brought up Musk's critique on Tuesday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that "the president already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill. It doesn't change the president's opinion. This is one big, beautiful bill, and he's stickin' to it."

Musk is pounding the drum on the importance of tackling America's debt and spending problems.
