Elon Musk says he's "disappointed" by Trump's "big, beautiful bill" and what it means for DOGE
May 27, 2025 / 9:04 PM EDT / CBS News

Elon Musk says he is "disappointed" by the price tag on the domestic policy bill passed by Republicans in the House last week and heavily backed by President Trump, the billionaire who recently stepped back from running the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, told "CBS Sunday Morning" in an exclusive broadcast interview.

"I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing," Musk said.
...

"I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful," Musk told CBS News, "but I don't know if it can be both. My personal opinion."

4. So if he has "stepped back" yet he uses the present tense "is doing" - who is head of DOGE?

7. Surprise, fuckwit. You've been duped by the most visibly, obviously corrupt and self-serving person on earth.
