Ross Gerber
shared a post on microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter) criticizing
Elon Musk
for 'attacking' people 'he helped put in power'. In a sharply worded post, Gerber pointed to Musk's recent political stances and endorsements, which he claims have aligned Tesla with figures and policies actively working against the electric vehicle (EV) transition. 'After he supported the end of all EV benefits under the current laws along with supporting an administration directly opposed to Tesla's success… this should work out well for Tesla, I'm sure,' Gerber wrote, with evident sarcasm.
Gerber's remarks come amidst Elon Musk's criticism of Trump administration's

. He wrote:
'Amazingly Elon now attacking all the people he helped put in power. This should work out well for tesla I'm sure. After he supported the end of all EV benefits under the current laws along with supporting an administration directly opposed to teslas success. The BOD, selling stock and living the good life.'
What Elon Musk said about One Big Beautiful Bill
Last month, the tech billionaire expressed his disappointment with the bill saying 'I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just fails to decrease it'. In an X post recently, he termed the bill 'a disgusting abomination'.
Musk wrote 'I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.'
In another post, he said 'Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok! KILL the BILL'
Why Elon Musk is criticising One Big Beautiful Bill
Musk has long warned of the
national debt
as an 'existential threat'. He has been warning against 'America bankruptcy' due to federal over spending for a long time now. Talking about the bill, he said 'This spending bill contains the largest increase in the debt ceiling in US history! It is the
Debt Slavery Bill
.'
The Tesla CEO recently stepped down from his role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), established earlier this year to cut federal spending. Commenting on a post about the bill, Musk said 'It more than defeats all the cost savings achieved by the @DOGE team at great personal cost and risk'.

Trump vs Musk feud sparks mockery in Moscow: ‘Don't fight, guys!' say Russian officials
The ongoing public spat between US President Donald Trump and tech-billionaire Elon Musk has found unlikely spectators in Moscow, where top officials, tycoons, and media personalities gleefully weighed in with offers of peace talks, business deals—and sarcasm. 'Elon, don't be upset!' posted nationalist senator Dmitry Rogozin, formerly head of Russia's space programme. 'If you encounter insurmountable problems in the US, come to us. Here you will find reliable comrades and complete freedom of technical creativity,' he added on Musk's own platform, X. Elon @elonmusk , don't be upset! You are respected in Russia. If you encounter insurmountable problems in the US, come to us and become one of us – a 'Bars-Sarmat' fighter. Here you will find reliable comrades and complete freedom of technical creativity. — ROGOZIN (@Rogozin) June 6, 2025 Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev also joined the online fray, quipping: 'We are ready to facilitate the conclusion of a peace deal between D and E for a reasonable fee and to accept Starlink shares as payment. Don't fight, guys!' The clash between the US president and the world's richest man quickly became low-hanging fruit for Russia's political elite, many of whom have made a habit of mocking perceived chaos in Washington. Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of RT and one of Russia's most powerful media figures, jabbed at the row as a symbol of 'modern US. political culture' — calling it 'Sort of like the English Industrial Revolution. Only in reverse.' Kirill Dmitriev, head of Russia's sovereign wealth fund and a former advocate for US-Russia cooperation in space, lamented: 'Why can't we all just get along?' He later asked X's AI chatbot, Grok, how the pair might reconcile. @grok what needs to happen for @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk to reconcile — Kirill A. Dmitriev (@kadmitriev) June 5, 2025 Even the Kremlin chimed in—carefully. Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov diplomatically called it an 'internal matter' for the US but expressed faith in Trump's ability to multitask. 'Presidents handle a huge number of different things at the same time, some more and some less important,' he said, Reuters reported. Others, like hardline nationalist businessman Konstantin Malofeyev, viewed the feud as a strategic opening: 'We can just be glad that they won't have time for us… the best time to strike back [against Ukraine].'

He called Trump's domestic bill a 'disgusting abomination' and slammed Republican leaders on his social media app, X. Musk might not give the last $100 million he promised to Trump's campaign, as per X, Musk posted a poll asking if America needs a new party that supports the 'middle 80%' and most people said 'yes.'

Starlink gets licence to start India services
Starlink is the third company after Eutelsat OneWeb and Jio Satellite Communications to get a licence from the Department of Telecommunications to provide satellite internet services in the country. New Delhi, Jun 6 (PTI) Elon Musk's Starlink has received a licence from the telecom department for providing satellite internet services in India, a key milestone that will take it closer towards launching commercial operations in the country. DoT sources confirmed on Friday that Starlink has indeed received the licence, and said the company will be granted trial spectrum in 15-20 days of applying for it. Starlink will now have to comply with the security norms such as providing access for lawful interception, before starting services. The licence came hours after a huge public spat between Musk and US President Donald Trump. The falling-out between the world's richest man and the world's most powerful person began when Musk, who left his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency a week ago, denounced Trump's sweeping tax-cut and spending bill. On Thursday, it erupted in the verbal duel after Trump criticised Musk in the Oval Office. Musk responded saying 'Trump would have lost' without his help, prompting the US President to end US contracts. The licence from DoT came nearly a month after the Starlink was issued a letter of intent (LoI) by the telecom department. The companies that have received the licence would, however, have to a wait a tad longer for commercial satcom spectrum as the Trai just recently sent its recommendations on pricing, and terms and conditions, to the government for its consideration. The players will be able to start their services after the allocation of radio wave frequencies. Typically, even before the commercial spectrum, the trial spectrum is required to test, and verify the systems and processes on security parameters to demonstrate that all norms and requirements, are being complied with. The status of the Starlink's final nod from the Indian space regulator, In-SPACe could not be immediately ascertained. Starlink is a satellite internet service developed by SpaceX — the American aerospace manufacturer and space transportation company founded in 2002 by the world's richest man Musk. It provides high-speed, low-latency broadband internet worldwide using satellite technology and is aptly described by some as broadband beamed from the skies. Unlike conventional satellite services that rely on distant geostationary satellites, Starlink utilises the world's largest low Earth orbit or LEO constellation (550 km above Earth). This constellation of LEO satellites (7,000 now but eventually set to grow to over 40,000) and its mesh delivers broadband internet capable of supporting streaming, online gaming, and video calls. Starlink, which had been vying for an India licence for some time now, recently signed pacts with Ambani's Reliance Jio and Mittal's Bharti Airtel, which together control more than 70 per cent of the country's telecom market, to bring the US satellite internet giant's services to India. The nod for the satcom offering — known for its resilience in harsh conditions and conflict zones — coincides with escalation of Donald Trump-Elon Musk feud in the US. Early last month, the government had issued stringent security norms mandating legal interception of satellite communication services and barred companies from linking connection of users in any form with any terminal or facility located outside the country's border as well as processing of their data overseas. The tighter security rules also mandate service providers to indigenise at least 20 per cent of their ground segment of the satellite network within years of their establishment in the country. The satcom service licence holders will require security clearances for specific gateway and hub locations in India and compliance to monitoring, interception facilities and equipment requirements. India's rules mandate satcom firms to demonstrate system capabilities with respect to security aspects, including monitoring, to the Department of Telecom (DoT) or its authorised representatives before starting operations in India. It is pertinent to mention that Telecom regulator TRAI last month recommended that satellite communication companies like Starlink pay 4 per cent of their adjusted gross revenue (AGR) as spectrum charges to the government — a rate steeper than what these firms had been lobbying for. Operators offering satellite-based broadband internet services in urban areas would have to shell out an additional Rs 500 per subscribers annually, TRAI recommended. No additional levy would be applicable for services in rural areas. COAI, whose members include Reliance Jio and Airtel, recently approached the telecom department to raise concerns over TRAI recommendations on the satcom spectrum. The industry body argued that 'incorrect assumptions' have led to unjustifiably low spectrum charges for satellite services relative to terrestrial networks — a claim strongly rejected by Trai, which has ruled out any review of recommendations at this stage, based on industry body COAI's charges.
