Trump Bids Adieu to Musk: "All the Best, Mate"
Dissolution of Personal Alliance Hint: Donald Trump Extends Well Wishes to Elon Musk - Final action in the split's heated aftermath?
In a surprising turn of events, US President Donald Trump seems to have cut ties with tech tycoon Elon Musk after a public spat. Trump, during his journey aboard Air Force One, stated that he's too occupied with dealing with national and global issues to even ponder about Musk. In simpler terms, he wished Musk the best.
Trump confirmed ongoing attempts to mend the relationship between the two, but he dodged the matter, claiming he's not keen on rekindling the friendship. He's more interested in addressing America's and the world's problems rather than entertaining a reconciliation with Musk.
Musk's Government Contracts Hanging by a Thread - Trump Wants Fairness
When questioned about the possibility of revoking Musk's companies, Tesla and SpaceX's government contracts, Trump was evasive. He hinted at an investigation but promised only fairness for the nation's benefit and Musk's firms. Trump had previously voiced his intention to rescind orders and subsidies meant for Musk to save billions.
The once mutually beneficial relationship between Musk and Trump has taken a nosedive following a months-long spat. The dispute began over a tax and budget law initiated by Trump, which Musk strongly opposes, pushing for deeper spending cuts instead.
Trump's Blunt Response: "Musk's Gone Mad"
In retaliation to Musk's relentless criticism, Trump abandoned all tact on Thursday, labeling Musk as "mad." Musk, in response, unleashed a barrage of harsh posts on his platform X, lambasting Trump. The US President responded in kind, trading barbs and even hinting at the formation of a new centrist party on X. Musk also made claims that Trump wouldn't have landed at the White House without his backing.
Musk had supported Trump's campaign by funding it with over 250 million US dollars, earning the trust of the Republican party. Until end-May, Musk spearheaded the cost-cutting committee Doge, responsible for implementing monumental cuts and layoffs.
