Every member of Congress who voted for the biggest ... should hang their head in shame, says Elon Musk
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has publicly initiated a verbal attack on members of the US Congress who supported US President Donald Trump’s controversial ‘ One Big Beautiful Bill ’. In post shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) Elon Musk has called the bill as the largest debt ceiling increase in American history, he also accused the lawmakers for betraying their fiscal promises.

In a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter), Musk wrote, “Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!” He added, “And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.”
President Trump’s bill, which proposes a $5 trillion increase to the national debt ceiling has drawn criticism from both fiscal conservatives and political outsiders. Musk who once worked as a White House advisor also mocked the bipartisan support for the legislation and called the Congress a “Porky Pig Party”. “It is obvious with the insane spending of this bill, which increases the debt ceiling by a record FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS that we live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!! Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people,” wrote Musk.
Elon Musk’s remark comes at a time when Senate is preparing for the final vote on the bill which is scheduled to take place on July 4, 2025. While President Trump has defended the legislation as essential for economic growth, Musk warned it would lead to “debt slavery” and long-term economic harm.
