Donald Trump Fires Back at Elon Musk
Donald Trump said he is 'disappointed' in Elon Musk.
In response to Musk's online outburst, Trump counter-attacked the rich businessman — who has been considered the wealthiest man in the world since 2021 with an estimated net worth of $420.6 billion — via his own social media platform, Truth Social.
"Elon was 'wearing thin,' I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!" Trump alleged.
In a second post, the POTUS penned: "The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that [former President Joe Biden] didn’t do it!"
Inside Elon Musk and Donald Trump's Fallout
Elon Musk and Donald Trump seemed close prior to their recent feud.
While Musk and Trump appeared to be the best of friends throughout the latter's presidential campaign and during The Apprentice star's first 100 days in office, their bromance seemed to come to an end within moments after the tech guru stepped down from his position heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
"As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending," Musk said in a statement at the end of last month. "The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government."
Despite seeming to leave on good terms, Trump expressed his disappointment in Musk during Thursday's social media battle.
"I’m very disappointed," Trump admitted after Musk criticized his "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," noting: "Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than anyone... and he only developed a problem when he found out I would cut the EV (electric vehicle) mandate... And it really is unfair."
