# Elon Musk has criticised one of the signature policies of Donald Trump in what is seen as a break from the president he helped to win re-election. The US House of Representatives last week passed what Trump calls his “big, beautiful” bill. It includes multi-trillion-dollar tax breaks and a pledge to increase defence spending. Musk told CBS News he was disappointed” by the plan, which he felt “undermines” the work he did on reducing spending. He said a bill can be big or beautiful, but he doesn’t know if it can be both.
