While meeting with new German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump said he was 'very disappointed' with Musk after the billionaire former supporter and adviser turned on the Republican-backed spending bill. 'I've helped Elon a lot,' Trump said. Musk, whose company Tesla is the nation's largest electric vehicle manufacturer, has called the bill a 'disgusting abomination.' 'We have a deal,' Trump says, after trade talks with China's Xi Trump said he was unsure if he would continue to have a great relationship with Musk, a powerful ally who has led efforts to reduce government spending.
