The uber-rich Musk — who spent around $290 million backing Trump and other Republicans in the 2024 election cycle and beyond — called for a “new political party.”
He even vowed that any fiscal conservatives who vote for the bill will face his wrath in their next primary races.
“Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then immediately voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!” Musk wrote.
“And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth,” he added.
Musk’s latest tirade came as the voting is underway in the Senate on dozens of amendments to the massive bill, as part of the complicated reconciliation process that enables the GOP to pass it without Democratic support.
