#TrumpVsMusk

Severe public disputes erupted on Thursday between President Donald Trump and his former ally billionaire Elon Musk, igniting a debate over the massive tax bill and domestic policy proposed by Trump through social media and in the Oval Office.

Tensions began to escalate on Tuesday when Musk criticized what Trump called the "beautiful big bill" and described it as a "disgusting abomination," surprising Republican leaders.

However, the billionaire escalated the fight on Thursday when he started sharing years-old comments from Trump and other Republican lawmakers expressing concerns about U.S. government spending and the deficit.
