#TrumpVsMusk

The growing tension between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk erupted publicly, with the president harshly criticizing the Tesla CEO for his attacks on the Republican spending bill, while Musk responded by stating that Trump would have *lost the elections* without his help.

I am very disappointed because Elon knew the ins and outs of this bill, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

I have helped Elon a lot.

In response to Trump's comments on Thursday, Musk initially dismissed them with a simple whatever, but quickly escalated the dispute by stating that Trump would not have won the elections without him.
