It's War: Musk Vows to Crush Republicans Who Back Trump’s “Beautiful Bill”

Elon Musk is turning on Republicans who back a massive new spending bill, promising to unseat them in the primaries and even threatening to launch a new political party. The move puts him on a collision course with Donald Trump, who supports the bill and wants GOP lawmakers to fall in line.

Key Facts:

Elon Musk pledged to target Republican lawmakers who vote for the “One Big, Beautiful Bill.”
The bill increases the debt ceiling by $5 trillion and aims to advance Trump’s tax and spending agenda.
Musk criticized the bill’s size and potential impact on Tesla-related green energy credits.
He threatened to launch a third party called the “America Party” if the bill passes.
Trump is pressuring Republicans to support the bill and has threatened primary challengers against dissenters.

The Rest of The Story:

Elon Musk, who previously backed Trump with over $250 million and led a government waste-cutting initiative, has flipped.

He’s now calling out Republicans for supporting what he calls the biggest debt increase in history.

On X, 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!”

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!

And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth.

Musk also took aim at the House Freedom Caucus and the bill’s effect on green tax credits that benefit his business.

He floated the idea of a new “America Party,” calling the current GOP and Democrat coalition a “Porky Pig Party.”

If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day.

Our country needs an alternative to the Democrat-Republican uniparty so that the people actually have a VOICE.

Meanwhile, Trump is using his influence to back the bill, pressuring Republicans who resist.

Sen. Thom Tillis, one of the critics, announced he won’t seek re-election.

Rep. Thomas Massie is also on the list of those opposing Trump’s stance.

The bill itself seeks to extend Trump-era tax cuts, fund border security, and deregulate energy production.

Commentary:

While Musk reportedly apologized to Trump a few weeks ago for their feud, his actions now make it clear that his views haven’t shifted.

His warning to GOP lawmakers is not just rhetoric—it’s backed by money, influence, and a growing willingness to take the fight outside party lines.

Musk’s opposition to the “One Big, Beautiful Bill” stems from both ideology and business interests.

While he presents his argument as fiscal responsibility, it’s hard to ignore the impact on Tesla, especially with green tax credits potentially being scaled back.

Trump, on the other hand, is betting everything on this bill.

He wants it passed before July 4, branding it as fuel for the economy.

He claims he’ll make up the debt through tariffs, but it’s far from clear whether tariff revenue will reduce the debt or fund new government projects.

No one in Congress has shown a plan to guarantee that outcome.

Both men are issuing threats—Trump promises to primary dissenters, Musk vows to unseat spenders.

But the most dangerous piece is Musk’s third-party idea.

Every time a credible third-party candidate splits the vote, the other side wins.

The GOP is already walking a tightrope.

With Democrats floundering and 2028 still far off, Republicans should be uniting—not tearing themselves apart from within.

Musk forming a third party could be a gift-wrapped win for the opposition, regardless of who their candidate is—even someone as polarizing as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Conservatives have long warned against runaway spending.

But if this infighting derails the election math, it won’t be budget issues voters remember—it’ll be who gave Democrats another term.

In the short term, the bill may pass and Trump may win this round.

But the real battle could be what comes after—a fractured Republican base heading into a high-stakes election cycle.
