Trump Ends Relationship with Musk Over Tax Bill Criticism

Donald Trump has severed ties with Elon Musk, stating the Tesla CEO is frustrated with his tax bill. The president asserts that Musk’s criticism stems from the removal of electric vehicle tax credits and a delayed NASA appointment for his friend Jared Isaacman. Elon Musk has publicly expressed his disapproval on X (formerly Twitter), questioning the rationale behind the bill and its impact on his business. He has denied having prior knowledge of the EV credit cuts, stating the legislation was passed without his input. The public feud adds another layer to the complex relationship between the two figures, as Musk’s substantial campaign contributions have been central to their dynamic.
