Bloomberg’s Ed Ludlow and Mike Dorning break down the latest tension between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, as disagreements over the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ could have far reaching political implications.
Donald Trump’s $3.3 trillion tax and spending cut bill passed the Senate Tuesday after a furious push by Republican leaders to persuade holdouts to back the legislation and hand the president a political win.
Senators voted 51-50 to pass the bill, with three Republicans — Susan Collins of Maine, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Rand Paul of Kentucky, defying Trump to oppose the legislation. Vice President JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote. The package, which now goes to the House, combines $4.5 trillion in tax cuts with $1.2 trillion in spending cuts.
“This was a team effort,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters immediately following the vote on Tuesday. “In the end, we got the job done.”
The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index climbed to a session high after the bill passed the Senate. It was falling for six months through the end of June.
The package — informally known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill” — includes the entirety of the president’s legislative agenda in a single package. Trump personally lobbied lawmakers to quickly move the legislation through Congress.
“It’s a great bill. There is something for everyone,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday. “And I think it’s going to go very nicely in the House. Actually, I think it will be easier in the House than it was in the Senate.”
Republicans say passing the bill will help them maintain their congressional majorities in the midterms. But polling suggests the bill is not particularly popular. A recent Pew Research survey found that 49% of Americans oppose the bill, while 29% supported it. Some 21% weren’t sure what to think.
“This vote will haunt our Republican colleagues for years to come,” Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said on Tuesday. “People will get sick and die, kids will go hungry and the debt will explode to levels that we have never seen.”
Elon Musk once again threatened to ramp up his political spending, this time targeting nearly every sitting Republican in Congress who has signaled support for President Donald Trump’s multi-trillion dollar tax bill.
“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 posted on his social media platform X. “And they will lose their primary next year if it’s the last thing I do on this Earth.”
Musk, the chief executive officer of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX, had told Bloomberg News that he planned to significantly curtail his political spending after shelling out a quarter of a billion dollars in the 2024 cycle, mostly supporting Trump. “I think I’ve done enough,” he said when asked about it in May.
But earlier this month, shortly after leaving his formal government role as an adviser to Trump, the billionaire lambasted the president’s signature tax and spending deal in a series of posts that sparked an online feud and an explosive, hours-long public meltdown between the two men.
Over the weekend, Musk warned that the proposed cuts to electric vehicle and other clean energy credits would be “incredibly destructive” to the country, destroying millions of US jobs and giving “handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future.”
The criticism has threatened to reignite Musk’s public rift with Trump, which appeared to have died down in recent weeks.
“I haven’t spoken to him much, but I think Elon is a wonderful guy, and I know he’s going to do well always,” Trump said on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo, which aired Sunday but was recorded on Friday before the billionaire’s most recent posts. “But he got a little bit upset, and you know that wasn’t appropriate.”

Trump’s signature ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ heads back to House for vote. President Trump’s so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” narrowly passed the U.S. Senate with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote. The bill includes $4 trillion in tax cuts, eliminates taxes on tips and overtime, and boosts border funding. But it has drawn criticism for deep cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, and the Congressional Budget Office estimates it will add $3.3 trillion to the national debt. The bill now returns to the House, where some Republicans are reconsidering their support.

Has Elon Musk lose it?
Sky News host Danica De Giorgio claims the “bromance” between Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump is “well and truly over” as their feud has been reignited over the President’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’.
Billionaire Elon Musk has been critical of President Trump’s bill, warning it would increase the debt ceiling, and on Tuesday, claimed he would form the “America Party” if it were to pass.
President Trump hit back at Mr Musk’s criticism, suggesting he could potentially “look into” deporting the Tesla CEO, who was born in South Africa, and use DOGE against the billionaire.

BREAKING: Judge Hannah Dugan’s Trial DELAYED Amid Bombshell Obstruction Charges! ⚖️
A stunning twist in the federal case against Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan. Her trial—originally set for just 33 days from now—has been officially postponed. A federal judge ruled the timeline “untenable,” citing unresolved issues over judicial immunity and potential appeals that could delay the process even further. No new trial date has been set.
But that’s not all…
This case centers around Eduardo Flores Ruiz, an undocumented immigrant who was arrested by Milwaukee police in March during a domestic violence dispute. His fingerprints flagged a prior 2013 deportation, prompting ICE agents to issue a new federal warrant.
Agents showed up at the Milwaukee County Courthouse to detain him—but that’s where Judge Dugan allegedly stepped in. She’s accused of secretly directing Flores and his lawyer to exit through a side door, allowing Flores to briefly flee before ICE agents caught him nearby. Dugan now faces federal obstruction charges for allegedly helping him evade arrest.💥 Flores has since accepted a plea deal, agreeing to serve prison time followed by deportation.
