Tesla CEO Elon Musk has pushed back against President Donald Trump’s recently passed economic bill, which Musk believes cancels out efforts made by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
In a June 4 post on X, Musk called the bill “outrageous” and criticized lawmakers who supported it.
The next day, Musk posted an image of a “Kill Bill” movie billboard. Some in the crypto industry saw this as a jab at President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill“.
