Musk warns: Trump's budgetary law could explode!

Elon Musk renews his sharp criticism of President Donald Trump's controversial budget, known as the "Big Beautiful Bill". Musk warns that this plan not only increases the budget deficit, but could also raise public debt. The CEO von Tesla had previously described the law as "disgusting hideousness" and urged the citizens to put their congress members under pressure in order to vote against the draft. He calls for a complete revision of the budget, especially with regard to the planned increase in the debt limit and the necessary expenses.

In May, the budget was accepted by a narrow majority in the House of Representatives, but sees considerable resistance in the Senate, especially by the Republicans. Musk, who donated over $ 250 million for Trump's election campaign and was once considered a close advisor to the President, could undermine the efforts of the Republicans, critical parliamentarians. According to Mike Johnson, the Republican head of the House of Representatives, Trump is "not delighted" by Musk's interventions that are interpreted as selfish. Johnson indicated that Musk's resistance could be based on the deletions of tax reliefs for electric vehicles that Tesla currently needs greatly because the company has to struggle with sales returns.

political ambitions and possible office connections

parallel to his criticism of the Trump administration, there are reports that Elon Musk plans to claim space in the White House. This happens in the run -up to its potential leadership of the newly created "Department of Government Efficiency" (Doge). Although this initiative is not officially part of the federal government, it is emphasized with an ambitious goal: to save up to $ 2 trillion from the Federal Budget. Musk, however, indicated that a more realistic target could be at $ 1 trillion.

Doge is headed by Musk and the entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, and the first staffing for this commission have already started. The objective of Doge not only includes reducing expenses and federal programs, but also the improvement in efficiency in administration. Musk and his team temporarily take from the offices at SpaceX in Washington D.C. from the talks. At the same time, Musk plans to integrate more into political issues after he had announced his withdrawal from political business at the end of May.

effects on the political landscape

Musk once again warned the congress members of the consequences of their decisions, especially with regard to the upcoming intermediate elections in November 2026, in which all seats in the House of Representatives and a third of the Senate mandate are re -awarded. His warnings could not only affect the plans of the Republicans, but also strongly influence the public perception of the budget, while the opposition, the Democrats welcomes Musk's criticism and is closed against the draft.

The coming weeks and months should be decisive, not only for the political landscape, but also for the future of Musk ’company Tesla and its role in the political game under Trump.
