Musk has previously said his opposition to the bill stems from the fiscal spending and aggregate, unsustainable national debt issue.  However, as President Trump and NEC Director Kevin Hassett have noted, the debt issue is a combination of spending and growth.  The economic goals of the administration are to grow the economy at a GDP rate larger than 3%, while simultaneously using the Office of Management and Budget to curtail spending allotments from congress.
