#TrumpVsMusk

US President Donald Trump criticized billionaire Elon Musk on Thursday, saying he feels "disappointed" due to Musk's public opposition to the comprehensive tax and spending reduction bill that lies at the heart of Trump's agenda. Musk stated, "Without me, the US president would have lost the elections."

Trump said in a statement at the White House, "Elon and I have a great relationship... I don't know if we will remain that way anymore."

He added, "He has said the nicest things about me, and he hasn't personally said bad things about me, although I am sure that will come later. But I feel a great disappointment in Elon... I have helped him a lot."

Trump also confirmed that Musk launched a fierce attack on the bill because of the proposed elimination of tax exemptions for electric vehicle owners.

Musk, the CEO of Tesla, the electric car manufacturer, stated that he opposes the bill because it will increase the federal deficit.
