The once-close ally and advisor to Donald Trump, billionaire Elon Musk, has renewed his criticism of the U.S. President's "One Big, Beautiful Bill." Musk denounced the much-discussed bill as madness and a significant burden on ordinary taxpayers. He warned that if the Senate approves this bill, he would launch a new political party called "America Party" the very next day.
This bill is a centerpiece of Trump's second term strategy, seeking significant budgets for defense, energy, and border security while proposing cuts to nutrition and health services. According to the Congressional Budget Office, it will increase the national deficit by approximately $3.3 trillion over the next decade.
Musk's Direct Attack: “This is the 'Porky Pig Party'”
Musk took to X (previously Twitter) to express, "This bill raises the debt ceiling by a record five trillion dollars. It’s clear that we are now in a one-party nation—the 'Porky Pig Party!' It's time for a new party that genuinely cares about people."
