BREAKING NEWS Elon Musk makes new sensational claim about Trump as their bromance breakup turns nasty

Daily Mail​2 days ago

Billionaire Elon Musk further escalated his feud with President Donald Trump after the president responded to his criticism of the Big Beautiful Bill making it's way through Congress.
'Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,' Musk wrote and added, 'Such ingratitude.'
Musk fumed on X after the president spoke in the Oval Office responding to his criticisms of his signature legislation and shared old social media posts of Trump criticizing the national debt.
'Wise words,' Musk wrote, sharing a 2013 post of Trump criticizing Republicans for extending the debt ceiling.
'I cannot believe the Republicans are extending the debt ceiling—I am a Republican & I am embarrassed!' Trump wrote at the time when Congress raised the debt ceiling during former President Barack Obama 's presidency.
Musk then pinned his post to his social media profile on X.
'I couldn't agree more!' Musk said, also sharing an old Trump post criticizing the national deficit.
'No member of Congress should be eligible for re-election if our country's budget is not balanced---deficits not allowed!' He wrote in 2012.
Musk also shared a post noting that the majority of Republican voters agreed with him regarding the spending in the bill.
'Yes,' he wrote.
Musk additionally shared a post of an old interview where he shared his concerns that the interest payments on the National Debt exceeded the budget for the Defense Department.
'That's what it comes down to,' he wrote.
Another meme shared by Musk showed that Trump's bill was a freight train slamming into and destroying the money that DOGE had saved in government.
'Exactly,' he added, also sharing an image that described Trump's bill as 'The Big Ugly Bill.'
Trump spoke about the clash with reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday saying he was 'very surprised' that Musk decided to criticize the bill.
He said that Musk 'never had a problem' with the bill before he left the White House as a special advisor.
He also the conflict would likely get worse, suggesting that Musk had a case of 'Trump derangement syndrome.'
'He's never said anything personal about me but that will be next,' he said.
