Elon MuskFormer White House advisor Elon Musk escalated his attacks on the big Republican bill cutting taxes and Medicaid, urging Americans to call their lawmakers to kill the bill.

“Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok! KILL the BILL,” Musk wrote on his social media platform Wednesday.

The legislation is supposed to encompass the entirety of President Donald Trump’s domestic policy agenda for his second term, so Musk’s aggressive opposition, just one week after leaving his job as a senior adviser to the president, is striking.
