Tesla CEO Elon Musk has emerged from hiding to comment on President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” which is currently working through Congress. He’s quite unhappy with what he’s seeing, particularly after a major alteration was made to the bill late Friday night.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Senate GOP released the text of the 940-page reconciliation bill just after midnight with revisions made to the previous draft. The legislation accomplishes several critical policies, including making the Trump tax cuts permanent, eliminating taxation on tips and overtime, locking down the border, and taking an axe to Joe Biden’s green energy scam.
Perhaps the most significant change to the draft was the Senate’s treatment of credits to the wind and solar industries.
The Senate previously softened the House’s restrictions on energy subsidies. Specifically, it curtailed the House’s requirement that projects must begin within 60 days of the legislation’s signing and be placed in service by the end of 2028 to qualify for key energy tax credits.
The new legislation now says that the credits can only apply to facilities that start producing electricity before the end of 2027. Moreover, the bill imposes a tax on certain wind and solar projects placed in service after 2027.
These changes came after President Trump lobbied Senate Majority Leader John Thune to crack down on these wasteful and economically destructive energy sources, delivering a significant win for conservatives.
If no further changes are made, this could lead to the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs and the end of dozens of projects currently in the pipeline.
Seeing this massive alteration ticked off Musk. He complained that ending these subsidies would “destroy millions of jobs” and accused Senators of backward thinking.
“The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!” Musk wrote.
“Utterly insane and destructive,” he added. “It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future.”

Musk then shared a poll showing that large majorities of the public were against Trump’s signature economic legislation and called it “political suicide for the Republican Party.”

What would be political suicide for the GOP is if they listened to Musk and killed the “Big, Beautiful Bill.” Not only would the public not reward the GOP, but Trumpa nd the MAGA base would be livid.
Why bother to vote for a party that cannot fulfill its promises to voters and works against its leader?
