1. 'Utterly Insane': Elon Musk Creeps Back Into Politics With Brutal Attack on Trump-Backed Big Beautiful Bill

Elon Musk took aim at President Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill on Saturday as lawmakers were making their way through a new draft of the budget.

“The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!” Musk wrote on X just a few weeks after leaving his special government job with DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency). “Utterly insane and destructive. It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future.”

Musk’s statement came in response to an X post from Jesse D. Jenkins noting that the latest draft of the bill, which senators received early on Saturday morning, “raises taxes on all wind and solar projects that haven’t begun construction today unless they are placed service by end of 2027.”
