Tesla CEO Elon Musk made his first comments since the passing of President Donald Trump’s signature “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
Musk backed a post by Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who said the bill’s budget “explodes the deficit” and continues a pattern of “short-term politicking over long-term sustainability.”
The independent Congressional Budget Office has said the bill could add $3.4 trillion to the $36.2 trillion of U.S. debt over the next decade.
