In a surprising twist, Tesla CEO Elon Musk has voiced his disappointment over President Donald Trump's new tax and spending bill. The legislation, narrowly passed by the House on May 22, extends 2017-era tax cuts while adding extra breaks for consumption and auto loans. It also boosts defense spending and increases funding to combat illegal immigration.
Posting on X, Musk stated, "As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President Trump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending." With this remark, he announced his exit from his advisory role.
This bold move by Musk sparks a unique conversation at the crossroads of tech innovation and political strategy—a topic that resonates well with young, tech-savvy professionals in South and Southeast Asia. It reminds us that influential voices in the tech world are not shying away from speaking out on political and economic policies. 🚀
