Elon works to 'KILL the BILL' amid frustrations over spending

The efforts come after Musk called the bill a "disgusting abomination" in an X post.

Now-departed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief Elon Musk on Wednesday has launched an effort to block the "big, beautiful bill" over his frustrations about the level of spending cuts in the legislation.

Musk left government in May after working to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse in order to help balance the budget. His efforts led to DOGE claiming roughly $175 billion in savings, though the White House has only sent about $9.4 billion in cuts as part of a rescissions package. Musk, for his part, is livid with the efforts of lawmakers to reinforce his moves.

"Call your Senator,
Call your Congressman,

Bankrupting America is NOT ok!

KILL the BILL," separate post, he posted a poster of Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill."

The efforts come after Musk called the bill a "disgusting abomination" in an X post.

"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," he said.
