In his first significant rift with the US president since he resigned from his position as a chainsaw to government spending, billionaire Elon Musk has criticized Donald Trump’s signature spending plan.
In addition to increasing the deficit, the tech mogul, who was born in South Africa, claimed that Trump’s measure will jeopardize the efforts of Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has dismissed tens of thousands of workers.
Before stepping back to concentrate on his Space X and Tesla companies, Musk was a frequent fixture by Trump’s side. He also claimed that DOGE had turned into a “whipping boy” for his discontent with the government.
