I admit I'm totally clueless as to what's in it because my instinct is that Elon is right and its full of garbage but who knows. There are a few right- wing people on X attacking Elon over it, but it could just be from not liking the guy or just generic GOP bootlicking. Thoughts?

The bill funds deportations and it funds building a wall. All the usual “fiscally responsible” “principled libertarians” that let every absurd omnibus bill pass over the last decade with minimal fuss have started grandstanding about this like there’s no tomorrow. Fuck ‘em. Getting out of debt is a big problem for our country remaining prosperous, sure, but fixing immigration is a big problem for our country continuing to exist in any form at all.
As for Elon specifically, the man is definitely having a major meltdown. Exactly why he’s melting down this bad remains to be seen, but it seems pretty bad. Bad enough that even if he were to apologize and recant everything, just the fact that he can get this agitated this easily is a red flag that screams “keep this guy at arm’s length.” I do think he’s a brilliant guy in a lot of ways, but he also has some glaring flaws, and right now those flaws are potentially doing lots of harm.
