President Trump responded to Elon Musk's recent public criticisms of his tax bill, insisting that his presidential campaign would have succeeded without Musk's support. Speaking alongside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump dismissed questions about a falling out with Musk, remarking on his campaign's past successes and highlighting Musk’s prior support. He expressed disappointment in Musk's shift against the bill that includes cuts to electric vehicle tax credits, suggesting that Musk's newfound criticisms were unfounded given his past endorsement and understanding of the bill's details.
Elon knew that. Elon endorsed me very strongly. He actually went up and campaigned for me. I think I would have won.
But I’m very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill. Better than almost anybody sitting here, better than you people.
