BBB = Big Beautiful Bill (the budget that just passed)
PIGGY PORK is my parody of an all-caps X written by Musk where he complains about BBB. I think it was really PORKY PIG

but I think the fact that is in all caps is more significant that the exact phrase. "Pork" is used to describe various random spending that gets doled out to various politicians and constituencies. One could say that it's basically fair 'cause everybody gets something. Musk is mad electric car subsidies are being cut and SpaceX programs are being cut, but somebody else is mad that something else got cut.
Ah, thanks. "BBB" makes sense now you say it, but TLAs expand to far too many things for me to have worked that out myself.
I was wondering if PIGGY PORK was a pork-barrel reference, but the all-caps increased my uncertainty — I have thought X was a dumpster fire even when it was still called Twitter, so I don't know anything Musk says on it unless someone sends me a screenshot of his tweet.
