Elon Musk and Donald Trump's apparent friendship has disintegrated into a hostile feud, highlighted by Musk's strong criticism of Trump's new bill, which he labeled a "disgusting abomination." Trump retaliated by expressing disappointment in Musk's shift in loyalty. Musk claimed credit for Trump's election success, citing rights for electric vehicles and accusing Trump of ingratitude. The underlying tensions were amplified by ongoing issues within Tesla and regulatory changes impacting electric vehicle subsidies, prompting a harsh exchange between the two high-profile figures.
Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate. Such ingratitude.
Look, Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore.
Elon's upset because we took the EV mandate, which was a lot of money for electric vehicles. They're having a hard time, the electric vehicles.
You know, they're having a hard time, the electric vehicles, and they want us to pay billions of dollars in subsidies.
