After Elon Musk warned Donald Trump to “stay out of” the 2024 election, their uneasy truce has ended in full-blown war.
The relationship between ex-president Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk has apparently reached a breaking point. Tesla’s stock price is caught in the middle of a nasty battle between the company and its legion of supporters.
Trump has accused him of being ungrateful for helping him yet dealing behind his back.
In a new outburst, Trump slammed Musk for attacking his taxes. Musk has changed since he was in the White House, according to ex-president.
I used to have a good relationship with Elon, but not anymore. I helped him when he asked for it, and this is the thanks I get? I won’t be surprised if he attacks me next.
Trump also said Musk knew electric vehicle (EV) incentives wouldn’t be permanent.
While he’s upset now, he understood the rules. Maybe he misses the good ol’ days when I was in office.
Musk strikes back immediately: “Trump would have lost without me!”
Always one to respond, Musk hit back on X with an brutal response. He said he knows nothing of the tax bill and took credit for Trump not getting sacked.
Had it not been for me, Trump would’ve lost the election! The Dems would have taken the House and the GOP would have lost the Senate.
Musk then twisted the knife and mocked Trump.
Where is he now? His ‘Big Ugly Law’ just added $2.5 trillion to the debt!
