{"content":"**Elon Musk Strongly Criticizes Trump’s Tax Proposal, Calls It "Disgusting Abomination"**  THEY HAVE SPLIT UP Soure -BBC News Tech billionaire Elon Musk has strongly criticized President Trump’s new tax and spending proposal, calling it a "disgusting abomination" that will greatly increase the U.S. deficit by $2.5 trillion. The proposal, which includes tax cuts, big increases in defense spending, and raises the borrowing limit, passed the House in May but faces Republican disagreements in the Senate.  Musk, who recently left his White House job cutting costs, warned of political backlash, saying he would oppose lawmakers who supported the proposal. His comments show growing tensions in the GOP, with Senator Rand Paul also against raising the borrowing limit. Trump angrily responded, calling Paul "crazy."  Republicans defended the proposal, with House Speaker Mike Johnson saying Musk was "very wrong." Democrats, however, used Musk’s angry comments as proof the proposal is bad.  Despite their past teamwork, Musk’s strong words signal a split with Trump. The president wants the proposal passed by July 4, but opposition from both parties could slow it down.  ","images":["https://d2kdcqywr8ua22.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025062025/06/04/61a17209cdfd4f7d88d0064941482991.jpg"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":[],"quotearticleid":0}
