Elon Musk: “Kill the Bill”

Just days after leaving office under nebulous circumstances, sporting a black eye that many attribute to an altercation that precipitated his departure from the White House, Elon Musk railed against the Trump administration.

In an unexpected turnaround, he launched an offensive against Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”, claiming that he could no longer remain silent in the face of what he calls a “massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill” and a “disgusting abomination”.

To mobilize public opinion, Musk is now urging Americans to “Kill the Bill”, sharing a poster of Quentin Tarantino’s film Kill Bill as a symbol of his crusade. In another post, the billionaire tells Americans: “Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok! KILL the BILL.”

According to the Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump was already beginning to lose patience with Elon Musk, who uses his platform and its 200 million subscribers to attack him head-on, despite their recent alliance.

The WSJ reports that Trump is frustrated by Musk’s growing influence on certain Republican elected officials such as Marjorie Taylor Greene (Georgia), Scott Perry (Pennsylvania) and Mike Flood (Nebraska), who now regret having supported the project and are publicly opposing it.

While Donald Trump’s representatives have adopted a measured tone in public in the face of Elon Musk’s virulent attacks against the “Big Beautiful Bill”, claiming that the president already knew the billionaire’s positions, Musk’s outing continues to cause internal tensions within the administration.

In announcing his intention to target all elected officials who supported the bill in the 2026 mid-term elections, asserting, “In November of next year, we will fire every politician who has betrayed the American people.” Elon Musk is clearly testing Republican unity around the text. It remains to be seen whether his appeal will end up shaking some of the party’s elected representatives, or whether it will remain without any real political effect. Since then, Musk has not been idle, accusing Trump of being in Jeffrey Epstein’s documents and proposing the idea of a 3rd big political party in the United States.
