Elon Musk has come out against Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. Today’s show breaks this down.

“I am absolutely opposed to increased spending in almost every capacity,” Crowder said. “I don’t even know if we should have an income tax.”

According to Fox News:

The White House defended the President Donald Trump-endorsed "big, beautiful bill" Tuesday after outgoing DOGE chief Elon Musk doubled down on his criticism, calling the legislation a "disgusting abomination."

“This bill has a bunch of pork. That is the reason he is mad,” Crowder said.

"This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination," Musk added in a Tuesday afternoon post on X. "Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it."

The bill passed the House in late May, ahead of Memorial Day, largely along party lines. However, two Republicans did vote against the measure, citing insufficient spending cuts and a rising national debt. GOP Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul has also signaled he likely will not vote in favor of the bill in its current form, citing a debt ceiling increase that is a red line for him.

According to the White House, “The bill saves more than 1.6 TRILLION in mandatory spending, including the largest-ever welfare reform,” said Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff.

“Is it enough? No. Is it a start? Yeah,” Crowder said.

According to DOGE, the department will have an estimated savings of $180 billion.

"The cuts proposed here are astonishingly more than anything Elon has or could come up with. Why is he mad?" Crowder said.

According to Axios:

The legislation cuts the electric vehicle tax credit that helps car makers like Musk's Tesla. As of late April, his company had spent at least $240,000 lobbying on behalf of the credit and other company matters. Behind the scenes, sources say, Musk also advocated for the measure in the legislation, but to no avail.

"How about no tax credits? How about Americans buy the vehicles they want? You know, the people that voted for Donald Trump," Crowder said.

Musk also wanted the Federal Aviation Administration to use his Starlink satellite system for national air traffic control, the sources said. But the administration balked at it because of the appearance of a conflict of interest and for technological reasons. "You can't have air traffic control just run off satellites," the second source said.

“On its face, Elon promised a trillion in savings, delivered only a fraction of that, and now claims it’s a betrayal for anyone to support a bill that cuts $1.6 trillion,” Crowder said.

The final straw for Musk appeared to come Saturday night, when Trump abruptly announced he was withdrawing the nomination of Jared Isaacman, a Musk ally, to be NASA administrator.

“I understand the problems with it, but this isn’t like the Obama administration,” Crowder said. “You can call it more of the same, but there’s a lot that’s different.”

According to Miller, “The bill has three principal sections: tax cuts, welfare reform, immigration and border security. It is a dream bill.”

“I think it’s pretty tough for Musk to argue that it’s a betrayal to support any kind of spending cuts — especially when they outpace Doge — while he’s asking for massive tax credits for electric vehicles that benefit his business, which depends on new green energy,” Crowder said. “Is that what you voted for?”
