Musk has previously made his opinions about Trump's "big, beautiful bill" clear. In late May, just a few days before he officially left his post in the federal government, he told "CBS News Sunday Morning" he was "disappointed" with the bill's price tag.

As the U.S. Senate debated President Donald Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" on June 30, one-time government employee Elon Musk lashed out, promising to go after any member of Congress who voted to pass the spending package.
