Tesla Bull Ross Ross Gerber shared a post on microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter) criticizing Elon Musk for “attacking” people “he helped put in power”. In a sharply worded post, Gerber pointed to Musk’s recent political stances and endorsements, which he claims have aligned Tesla with figures and policies actively working against the electric vehicle (EV) transition. “After he supported the end of all EV benefits under the current laws along with supporting an administration directly opposed to Tesla’s success… this should work out well for Tesla, I’m sure,” Gerber wrote, with evident sarcasm.Gerber’s remarks come amidst Elon Musk’s criticism of Trump administration’s One Big Beautiful Bill. He wrote:
“Amazingly Elon now attacking all the people he helped put in power. This should work out well for tesla I’m sure. After he supported the end of all EV benefits under the current laws along with supporting an administration directly opposed to teslas success. The BOD, selling stock and living the good life.”
What Elon Musk said about One Big Beautiful Bill
Last month, the tech billionaire expressed his disappointment with the bill saying “I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just fails to decrease it”. In an X post recently, he termed the bill “a disgusting abomination”. Musk wrote “I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.” In another post, he said “Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok! KILL the BILL”
Why Elon Musk is criticising One Big Beautiful Bill
Musk has long warned of the national debt as an “existential threat”. He has been warning against ‘America bankruptcy’ due to federal over spending for a long time now. Talking about the bill, he said “This spending bill contains the largest increase in the debt ceiling in US history! It is the Debt Slavery Bill.”The Tesla CEO recently stepped down from his role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), established earlier this year to cut federal spending. Commenting on a post about the bill, Musk said “It more than defeats all the cost savings achieved by the @DOGE team at great personal cost and risk”.
