Musk blasts Trump's 'pork-filled' bill

Tensions between Elon Musk and Donald Trump erupted Tuesday as the world's richest man derided the president's key piece of economic legislation in a startling rupture just days after exiting a controversial job in the White House.

Mr Musk was lauded by the Republican leader as he left his advisory role atop Mr Trump's “Department of Government Efficiency” last week, despite criticism over his failure to deliver on promises of radical spending cuts.

"This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination," Mr Musk posted on X as he followed its progress from the sidelines, in by far his most caustic remarks on Mr Trump's agenda.

"Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong."
