Musk: 25% of U.S. Government Revenue Used to Pay Debt Interest

BlockBeats News, June 4th, Musk once again criticized the excessive government spending in the United States in a post on X, stating, "Interest payments have already taken up 25% of all government revenue. If large-scale deficit spending continues, then government revenue will only be enough to pay interest, and there will be nothing else! No social security, no healthcare, no national defense, nothing."

Just last Friday (May 30th), shortly after leaving the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) of the Trump administration, Musk and Trump, once "allies," seemed to quickly move towards open confrontation. First, Trump revoked the nomination of Musk's close ally Jared Isaacman as NASA Administrator, and then Musk directly lashed out at Trump's strongly promoted "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" on the X platform, calling it "disgusting." This morning, Musk said, "The current ridiculously massive, massively wasteful, politically motivated congressional spending bill is disgusting to the point of max lame. The people who voted for this should be ashamed: you know you did wrong. It massively increases the already huge budget deficit by $2.5 trillion and saddles American citizens with an unbearable debt burden. Congress is making America go bankrupt."
