Donald Trump issues savage response to Elon Musk saying he’s ‘very disappointed’ in him
President Donald Trump expressed disappointment in Elon Musk after the billionaire criticized his “big, beautiful bill” and resigned from the administration three days early. Trump, who previously had a close relationship with Musk, claimed the Tesla CEO understood the bill’s details better than most but still publicly opposed it. Musk fired back on Twitter, denying he had seen the legislation before its rushed passage.
Musk had previously voiced concerns about the bill’s massive spending increases, which conflicted with his role leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The legislation included Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile defense plan and tax cuts but risked expanding the deficit. The public clash marks a notable rift between the two high-profile figures after months of collaboration.
