Billionaire and former DOGE administrator Elon Musk warned that President Donald Trump's so-called One Big Beautiful Bill could be "dangerous in [the] future" and allow "abuses of power" by the commander-in-chief.

On Tuesday, Musk wrote on his X platform about a poll regarding Trump's spending bill.

"Removal of funding for enforcement of federal contempt of court orders is the actual crux of this spending bill," he opined. "This is nominally aimed at removal of illegal immigrants, but obviously also enables many other abuses of power by the President."

"Should this be allowed?" he asked.

At the time of publication, 63.4% of respondents agreed with Musk that the provision should not be allowed. Another 36.4% said it should be allowed.

"It can be very dangerous in future," one person replied to Musk.

"Very," the billionaire agreed.
