In his role as the former chief of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk commented, “I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing.” He added, “I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful but I don’t know if it can be both. My personal opinion.”During an interview with CBS News, Musk had maintained his opposition to the matter despite his close and public association with the US President. The legislation faces broad opposition, with Republican fiscal conservatives raising concerns about national insolvency, while independent analysts project the deficit could rise by up to $4 trillion over a decade.Additionally, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) also released its assessment on Wednesday, indicating that the Republican-proposed tax cuts and reductions in federal programmes would likely add $2.4 trillion to America’s national debt over the coming decade.Read more: Trump’s big bill could raise national debt by $2.4 trillion; 10.9 million to lose health insurance
