On the 4th local time, Musk posted on his X (formerly Twitter) account, "We can't let America go bankrupt," and said, "America is a debt slave."
"This is a full-speed road to slavery," Musk said, urging Congress to block the tax cut bill from passing.
"Anyone who actually reads this bill would not be in favor of it," he said in a response to the video. In another post, he said, "The new spending bill should not be a big increase to the budget deficit.
"We should not raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion," he said. "Call your representatives and tell them not to let America go bankrupt.
He also posted the provocative message, "KILL the BILL!" and even included an image of a poster for the movie "Kill Bill."
Musk also spoke to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, who is concerned about the growing federal debt, and "investment guru" Walsh.
He quoted a video of Ren Buffett's past comments and once again criticized America, saying, "America is on the fast track to debt slavery."
Musk's attacks on Trump's tax cut bill are escalating day by day.
"I was disappointed to see such a big spending bill that would increase the deficit," he said in an interview shortly before leaving the job after 130 days as head of the Office of Government Efficiency.
On the 3rd of this month, four days after the farewell ceremony at the White House, he said, "I'm sorry, but I can't take it anymore," and "This incredibly unreasonable and wasteful congressional spending bill is a disaster."
"It's disgusting and disgusting," he said. The bill in question is a revision of the 2017 tax cut law (which reduced the top corporate tax rate and the individual income tax rate).
The bill includes an extension of key provisions of the 2019 Tax Reform Act, which is set to expire soon and will effectively raise taxes. The bill is part of what President Trump called "One Big Beautiful Bill."
The bill, called the "Beautiful Bill (BBB)," passed the House of Representatives on May 22 and is currently aiming to pass the Senate in July.
However, House Republican Speaker Johnson said, "There is no time to write a new bill.
"It is not acceptable for Americans to face the biggest tax increase in history," Treasury Secretary Scott Becent also wrote on Twitter, calling for a tax cut bill.
Meanwhile, Trump did not directly criticize Musk, but rather posted a post by X in which Musk thanked him on his social networking site, "Truth Social."
The post was shared on Twitter by Musk on Twitter, in which he thanked Trump as he was stepping down from his position at DOGE.
However, Trump expressed strong displeasure with Senator Rand Paul, who agreed with Musk.
The day before, he said, "Rand Paul has no understanding of the meaning of One Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) and the big growth that is to come," and "He votes 'no' on everything and that's why
"People think this is good politics but it's not. BBB is a big win!!!"
