Fallout Frenzy: Musk and Trump Declare War Over $4 Trillion Bill

Published on June 9, 2025 by Ruta Deshpande, Deftech Analyst

Musk: ā€œKill the Big Ugly Bill... disgusting abomination… Debt Slavery Billā€

Elon Musk didn’t hold back in his criticism of Trump’s proposed $4 trillion tax-and-spending plan. Taking to X, he labeled it a ā€œdisgusting abominationā€ and a ā€œDebt Slavery Bill,ā€ arguing that the measure would dangerously inflate the national deficit. Musk warned that the legislation represents fiscal recklessness on an unprecedented scale and could plunge future generations into economic bondage. He framed the bill as a betrayal of taxpayers and economic sanity.

In response to Musk’s scathing comments, Donald Trump threatened to cancel all federal contracts and subsidies connected to SpaceX and Tesla. This included billions of dollars in revenue tied to both NASA collaborations and Department of Defense contracts. Trump accused Musk of political disloyalty and suggested the CEO was endangering national priorities for personal reasons. The move, if executed, could severely disrupt space operations and the broader electric vehicle sector in the U.S.

Escalating tensions even further, Musk claimed on X that Donald Trump’s name appears in the classified documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s network. He alleged that the former president’s association with Epstein had been intentionally concealed and that the public deserved transparency. This explosive allegation sparked a media firestorm, with global news outlets scrambling to verify the claim. Musk’s post marked a sharp shift from policy disagreements to deeply personal and reputational attacks.

Trump: Accuses Musk of ā€œTrump derangement syndromeā€

Dismissing the accusations, Trump fired back by accusing Musk of suffering from ā€œTrump derangement syndrome.ā€ He implied that Musk’s opposition wasn’t grounded in logic or policy concerns but driven by emotional instability and resentment. Trump went further, suggesting Musk’s fury was tied to the bill’s provisions reducing subsidies for electric vehicles—programs that had disproportionately benefited Tesla. He painted Musk’s outrage as hypocritical and tied to lost financial advantages rather than public good.

Musk: Threatens to ā€œdecommissionā€ the Dragon capsule

In an unprecedented move, Musk issued a stark warning: if the spending cuts were approved, SpaceX might decommission its Crew Dragon capsule. The spacecraft currently serves as NASA’s main transport to the International Space Station. Musk said that continued support was essential for sustaining domestic human spaceflight. Without Crew Dragon, NASA could be forced to rely on Russian Soyuz missions once again, effectively undoing years of efforts toward American launch independence.

Trump: ā€œVery disappointed in Elonā€

While addressing media at a summit alongside Germany’s chancellor, Trump said he was ā€œvery disappointedā€ in Elon Musk’s recent behavior. He described the SpaceX and Tesla CEO as greedy, ungrateful, and disloyal. Trump emphasized that his administration had previously gone to great lengths to support Musk’s ventures. Now, seeing that support repaid with personal attacks and political defiance, Trump expressed regret over extending any form of government aid to Musk’s enterprises.

Musk: ā€œWithout me, Trump would’ve lost in 2020ā€

In another bold claim, Musk reminded his followers that he had helped Trump significantly during the 2020 election. He argued that without his support—particularly via amplified social media messaging and alignment on economic issues—Trump might have lost by a wider margin. Musk said he believed Trump had forgotten who was in his corner during the most crucial political moments. He framed his recent criticisms as rooted in principle, not revenge.

Musk: Urges to ā€œfire all politiciansā€ backing the bill

Musk didn’t limit his opposition to Trump alone. In a post widely shared across platforms, he called on American voters to remove every politician who supports the proposed tax-and-spending bill. Musk framed the legislation as a coordinated betrayal of public interest, suggesting both parties had lost touch with economic reality. He argued that the only way to restore sanity was to vote out those complicit in creating what he labeled ā€œfiscal slavery.ā€

Trump: Trump lashes out, calling Musk erratic

In a round of interviews with conservative media outlets, Trump labeled Musk’s recent behavior as ā€œerraticā€ and ā€œself-serving.ā€ He accused the billionaire of throwing a tantrum now that federal support programs might no longer benefit his companies. Trump said Musk was acting purely out of self-interest and that his ideological positioning shifted depending on what affected his bottom line. The former president framed Musk as a businessman unwilling to play fair when the rules changed.

Musk: ā€œIt’s establishment versus the peopleā€

Capping off his series of jabs, Musk posted that the battle over the tax-and-spending plan wasn’t about personal egos but about power. ā€œThis is establishment versus the people,ā€ he wrote, positioning himself as a defender of common taxpayers against entrenched political elites. Musk said he viewed the bill as the latest in a long pattern of decisions made by politicians to protect themselves while exploiting public funds. He urged citizens to push back hard.
