Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has renewed his criticism of U.S. President Donald Trump's tax-cut and spending bill, vowing to punish lawmakers who backed the legislation despite campaigning on limiting government spending. During a recent social media post, Musk described the bill as "utterly insane and destructive". His criticism comes as the Senate takes up the package, with Musk expressing his disapproval of lawmakers who campaigned on cutting spending but ultimately supported the bill. Musk accused these lawmakers of hypocrisy, stating that they "should hang their heads in shame!" He went on to threaten that these lawmakers would lose their primary elections next year, saying "And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth." In addition to his criticism of the bill and lawmakers, Musk also called for the creation of a new political party, stating that the massive spending indicated "that we live in a one-party country – the PORKY PIG PARTY!!" Musk has been a vocal opponent of the bill, with this latest outburst following weeks of relative silence on the issue. Musk's comments come as he continues to make headlines for his outspoken views on a range of topics, including politics and technology. As the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Musk is a prominent figure in the tech industry, and his opinions often carry significant weight.
