Musk’s position with the incoming Trump administration isn’t technically part of a government department or agency, but he is continuing to use his massive megaphone on the social platform X to condemn the spending measure.
Into Wednesday evening, Musk reposted several messages from others criticizing the proposal to his more than 207 million followers.

Musk rejected the plan almost as soon as it was released late Tuesday night, posting, “This should not pass” in the wee hours of the following morning.
Musk, who along with Vivek Ramaswamy is heading up the new Department of Government Efficiency, has been leading the charge against the measure, warning, “Any member of the House or Senate who votes for this outrageous spending bill deserves to be voted out in 2 years!”
