In an interview with CBS, Musk expressed disappointment over the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sen-tuberville-democrat-relief-bill-to-spark-inflation-fuel-poverty\/\" title=\"Sen. Tuberville: Democrat \u2018relief\u2019 ... to spark inflation, fuel poverty\">massive spending bill<\/a> that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-gop-passes-legislation-to-prevent-fracking-ban\/\" title=\"Senate GOP passes legislation to prevent fracking ban\">recently passed<\/a> the House by a slim margin.He highlighted that the bill, which is backed by President Donald Trump and cuts about $1.5 trillion in federal spending, increases the budget deficit and contradicts DOGE&#8217;s objectives.<\/p>\n<p>Musk remarked that while a bill can be big or beautiful, it is questionable whether it can be both. He noted that the dysfunction within the federal bureaucracy is more severe than he anticipated, complicating efforts to drive advancement in Washington. Despite stepping back from his government involvement, Musk plans to redirect his attention to technological advancements to tackle inefficiencies in data management and other areas, indicating he is not completely done with Washington yet.He also addressed the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >unfair criticism directed<\/a> toward his companies, notably regarding DOGE, and expressed dismay at the violence against his businesses.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Elon Musk said that the so-called &ldquo;Big Beautiful Bill&rdquo; making its way through Congress goes against some of the work his Department of Government Efficiency has done.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-lawmakers-slam-biden-over-use-of-race-card-to-push-far-left-policies\/\" title=\"GOP lawmakers slam Biden over use of \u2018race card\u2019 to push far-left policies\">bill recently passed<\/a> the House on a one-vote margin and is being considered by the Senate, which is likely to change the bill&rsquo;s contents.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;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,&rdquo; Musk said in a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CBSSunday\/status\/1927535075144421527\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">snippet of an interview <\/a>with CBS that will air on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful, but I don&rsquo;t know if it can be both,&rdquo; Musk said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">&ldquo;I think a bill can be big or it could be beautiful.
