«EPA» | In a new development that reflects the escalation of tension between the two of the most prominent American figures, US billionaire Elon Musk directed sharp criticism of US President Donald Trump, considering that Trump’s victory in the presidential elections would not have been achieved without his personal support.
“Without my support, Trump would have lost the elections, and the Democrats kept controlling the House of Representatives in Congress.” He added: “What a beautiful denial,” in a direct expression of his dissatisfaction with Trump’s last position.
Musk re -published a previous tweet to the former president dating back to 2012, in which he criticized the deficit in the American budget, in which he said: “No member of Congress may be eligible to re -election if our country’s budget is unbalanced.”
These statements come in light of a escalating dispute between the two sides, after the Master described the Trump budget project as “disgusting”, considering that it increases government spending and agreed with the deficit.
On the other hand, Trump expressed his “disappointment” from Musk during his meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Mertz in the Oval Office, saying: “Eileon and I gathered us a wonderful relationship … I do not know whether it will remain so.”
He added that he was surprised by the criticism of Musk, especially since he was familiar with the details of the draft law, and he did not oppose him while assuming the Presidency of the Government Efficiency.
Trump pointed out that the dispute exacerbated after Musk learned that the budget included reducing the support of electric cars.
In the wake of this tension, the shares of “Tesla”, owned by a mask, recorded a decrease of 8%, reflecting the immediate impact of the dispute on the financial markets.
For its part, the Wall Street Journal quoted informed sources that Trump began losing his patience towards Musk, as a result of his continuous criticism of the draft spending reduction law. Mask called his followers, who number more than 200 million users on the “X” platform, to communicate with their representatives in Congress and work to “kill the bill.”
Musk also expressed his objection to Trump’s commercial policies, and had previously entered into an public confrontation with former commercial advisor Peter Navarro.
This controversy comes about a week after Musk’s work ended in the presidency of the governmental body, which was charged with implementing spending plans, which did not achieve its stated goal to provide a trillion dollars.
