Elon Musk has spent the last knee in the depths of the government, putting his businesses away to pursue a long -standing republican quest to eliminate alleged waste and fraud.
Then, a few weeks ago, the House Republicans adopted a bill with arrangements that were going to be belted Tesla.
Now Musk merges that the bill is “a disgusting abomination”.
Many have been written on Musk’s motivations to get up to President Donald Trump; to spend 130 days as an employee of the special government; To spend time away from Tesla, the main source of its wealth. Whatever his reasons, Musk left with victories: he managed to get them free advertising For Tesla, and Starlink is slowly bow in the federal government.
But his time wandered in the rooms of power and stood alongside the president did not exempt Tesla from the desire of the Republicans to sink clean energy and electric vehicles.
Tuesday, Musk let go. “I’m sorry, but I can’t bear it anymore”, he wrote On X. “This bill on the spending of the massive and scandalous congress and filled with pork is a disgusting abomination.
“Shame on those who voted for it: you know you have done it badly. You know.”
The Congressional Budget Office has not yet marked the bill and its impact on the deficit, but this week, the committee of a responsible federal budget, a non -profit organization, estimated that the legislation would add 3 billions of dollars of debt.
Musk could publicly denounce the bill of reconciliation for his inability to slow federal deficits – there is no reason to think that it does not believe that it is a problem – but it is difficult to imagine that it does not feel personally despised by legislation.
A Axios report supports this taking on the situation, saying that Musk was “frustrated at not having won favorable treatment in the bill and the administration as a whole”.
“Elon was Butthurt,” a source told Musk’s feelings in Axios.
It is not only the feelings of Musk that could be bruised: his fortune could be bronted if provisions hostile to Tesla survive in the Senate.
Tesla’s biggest success would come from revisions at the EV tax credit. Today, consumers who buy an eligible electric vehicle can claim up to $ 7,500, a provision that takes place until 2032. Republicans want to end it in 2026 and restore the ceiling by manufacturer of 200,000 vehicles. The course feels almost targeted on Tesla, because the automaker was among the first to exceed this figure.
But the Republicans did not stop there. They also took a hammer to clean the energy, severely restricting the capacity of the solar installations on the roof to qualify for 30% of tax credits. If it is adopted, the changes would reduce the energy division of Tesla, which recently increased by 67% in annual sliding. The corporate line has already been threatened by Trump’s prices, which “will have a relatively greater impact on our energy production and storage company compared to our automotive business,” said Tesla in its quarterly.
In a separation stroke, the White House announced on Saturday, the day after the departure of Musk, which she drew the appointment of Jared Isaacman to be the administrator of NASA, which Musk had defended.
Welcome to politics, Elon.
