On Thursday, American President Donald Trump criticized billionaire Elon Musk, saying he feels "disappointed" due to Musk's public opposition to the comprehensive tax and spending bill that is at the heart of Trump's agenda, while Musk said, "Without me, the American president would have lost the election." Trump stated during a remark at the White House, "Elon and I have a great relationship... I don’t know if we will remain so after this." He added, "He has said the nicest things about me, and he has not personally said bad things about me, but I am sure that will happen later. But I feel a great disappointment in Elon... I have helped him a lot." Trump also confirmed that Musk has launched a scathing attack on the bill due to the proposed elimination of tax breaks for electric vehicle owners. Musk, the CEO of Tesla, the electric vehicle manufacturer, stated that he opposes the bill because it will increase the federal deficit. Trump noted that Musk, who received a warm farewell from the American president last week after overseeing his campaign to reduce federal costs, is upset because he misses working with the American president.
