The world's richest man had some harsh words for Donald Trump's so-called "big, beautiful" bill on Saturday.

Elon Musk worked with Trump for months after the election, only to have a spectacular blow-up after his exit from the White House. That public fight began due to Musk's criticism of Trump's signature bill.

Musk appeared to make up with Trump, and started holding his tongue more. It has been weeks since reporters have had anything to say about Musk criticizing Trump or his legislation.

'Utterly insane and destructive' describes everything that has happened since Trump's inauguration.

    Those words would’ve been worth more had he also not gone “utterly insane and destructive” during his time in government.

    They're still worth some because it shows MAGA is starting to fracture. Even die hards like MTG are now against the bill. You know, after they passed it in the house without reading it.

    I can't believe I'm playing defense for MTG but, voting for the bill in the House was a low risk action because there was absolute certainty that there would have to be back and forth with the Senate. The vote in the house was basically a vote to get the process started in the Senate.

    The bill as a whole though is still absolute shit stuffed with one horror after another. I do hold everyone who voted for it responsible for that. I just don't think it's a big deal that she voted for some specific aspects that she later opposed. That's just how the process of Omnibus bills works.

    How about those who didn't vote?

    Are you referring to the three ancient Democratic House members that died in office? It does seem a little vindictive to blame them, but I guess it wouldn't be unreasonable. It might make more sense to blame the Democratic voters who keep renominating these decrepit fucks.

    Musk also said he loves Trump as much as a straight man can love another man so he seems willing to say whatever bullshit he feels like he needs to say to accomplish his goal in any given moment.

    Broke silence to say the same thing he said before going silent?

    Why is anyone listening to what Elon says?
    Any interview with Elon needs to start with "You said Trump was in the Epstein logs, is that true or did you make it up?" Followed by "Why would you support and work for a person in the Epstein logs?"

    Oh, this is all going to affect him. Not in the way he likes.

    The guy formerly in the inner circle is soon going to realize that he made the entire government consist of inner circles. Dictatorships don't run on laws.

    Those laws primarily protect the rich.

    The country of laws that existed four years ago served Elon more than it served any other individual. But because there were a few laws he didn't like, he helped to destroy all of it.

    We're all going to pay for that, Elon included most of all.

    What the fuck is up with Musk's upside down smile? How does he even manage that?

    It is, but him saying that is an obvious attempt to buy back his reputation. His clock stopped at the Nazi salute. But even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

    The Nazis just mad he’s no longer part of the genocide. He needs to goose step his ass back to South Africa by foot and without a boat or plane.

    Yeah, the guy doesn't shut the fuck up, it's weird to use that phrasing. In fact, he criticised this same bill before the house vote.

    He paid a quarter billion dollar only to get the predictable outcome of putting Republicans in charge.

    Fuck his disingenous posturing. We know what Musk stands for, the exact same thing as Trump does, and nothing he can unconvincingly lie about now will change that fact.

    So, i am confused. If Musk says something is bad - then it must be good, right? But that thing is coming from Trump, meaning it certainly must be horrible shit. So much confusion!

  • He's panicking because it has renewables being taxed, which hurts his business. And while in this instance he's not wrong, he's still a piece of shit. And yet, their chaos is our opportunity.
