Donald Trump ally Elon Musk lambasted the president’s signature tax bill as a budget-busting “abomination” as Republican fiscal hawks stepped up criticism of the massive fiscal package.

The tech titan’s public condemnation pits him against the president at a critical time as Trump is personally lobbying holdouts on the bill. The remarks could stiffen resistance and delay enactment of the tax cuts and debt ceiling increase.

“This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,” Musk wrote in a social media post. “Shame on those who voted for it.”
