Elon Musk has officially stepped down from his advisory role in the Trump administration, citing fundamental disagreements over President Trump’s se “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.” This legislation, which narrowly passed the House of Representatives, proposes extensive tax cuts and increased spending, including significant allocations for defence and border security. Critics argue that the bill could add trillions to the national debt over the next decade.
Musk, who led the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), expressed that the bill undermines the department’s mission to reduce federal spending. In a recent interview, he remarked, “It can be big or beautiful, but not both,” highlighting his concerns over the bill’s fiscal implications.
Despite his departure, Musk conveyed gratitude for the opportunity to serve and indicated that the DOGE initiative would continue its efforts to promote government efficiency. His resignation underscores a growing rift within the Republican Party regarding fiscal policy and government spending priorities.
The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” now moves to the Senate, where it faces further scrutiny and potential amendments. The outcome will significantly influence the direction of U.S. fiscal policy and the broader political landscape.
