Remove Ads Trump is disappointed with Elon Musk Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads US President Donald Trump Thursday said he is 'very disappointed' with tech mogul Elon Musk , expressing his rare public disappointment in the billionaire after the latter's harsh criticism of 'big, beautiful bill'. 'I'm very disappointed in Elon,' Trump said. 'I've helped Elon a lot.' Musk has called Trump's big tax break bill a 'disgusting abomination.'Trump also asserted that Musk's attacks on the bill were motivated by the legislation's proposed elimination of consumer tax credits for electric vehicles. Musk, the CEO of electric vehicle maker Tesla, has said he opposes the bill because it will increase federal deficits."Look, Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore. I was surprised," Trump said in the Oval Office.'He hasn't said bad about me personally, but I'm sure that'll be next. But I'm very disappointed … I've helped Elon a lot.''I'm very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill,' the president added. 'He never had a problem until right after he left.'To this Elon Musk has responded on X, "False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!" (sic)Trump suggested the world's richest man misses being in the White House and has ' Trump derangement syndrome ", reports AP. 'He's not the first. People leave my administration and they love us and then at some point they miss it so badly, and some of them embrace it and some of them actually become hostile. I don't know what it is, it's sort of Trump derangement syndrome, I guess they call it. … The glamor is gone, the whole world is different, and they become hostile,' Trump said of his former said he and Musk have not spoken since the comments. 'He knew every aspect of this bill. He knew it better than almost anybody, and he never had a problem until right after he left,' the president said. 'I've always supported Elon. SpaceX, Tesla, those are incredible companies,' Trump said. 'But I don't understand how someone who benefited so much from American policy can turn around and call the bill that helps American industry an abomination.'As Trump was speaking, Musk wrote on X, "Slim Beautiful Bill for the win," a reference to the bill's official title, the " Big Beautiful Bill Act."Musk has been a powerful Trump ally, spending nearly $300 billion to boost Republicans in the 2024 election and then overseeing Trump's sweeping cost-cutting effort in the federal of Tesla extended losses after Trump's criticism of Musk.

Trump says he's disappointed with Musk, unsure about their 'great relationship'
President Donald Trump on Thursday voiced disappointment over Elon Musk's stinging criticism of the Republican spending legislation, dubbed the "One Big Beautiful Bill", and said the Tesla CEO had always been aware of the bill's key provisions - especially the proposed cuts to electric vehicle (EV) mandates."I'm very disappointed with Elon. I've helped him a lot. He knew the inner workings of the bill better than anybody sitting here. He had no problem with it. All of a sudden he had a problem and he only developed the problem when he found out we're going to cut the EV mandate," Trump told reporters in the Oval president also suggested that Musk's opposition stemmed from the bill's plan to phase out federal consumer tax credits for EVs, a measure that would directly impact Tesla. "Look, Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore. He said the most beautiful things about me. And he hasn't said bad about me personally. That'll be next. But I'm very disappointed," Trump for his part, swiftly pushed back on X. "False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it," he wrote in response to Trump's another post, Musk fired off: "Whatever. Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil and gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill."advertisementReferencing the legislation's official title, Musk added sarcastically, "In the entire history of civilisation, there has never been legislation that is both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this! Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim and beautiful bill. Slim and beautiful is the way."As Trump defended the bill from the White House, Musk simultaneously wrote, "Slim Beautiful Bill for the win" - a direct jab at the title of the bill and its clash marks a dramatic turn in a relationship that had, until now, largely been politically aligned. Musk, once one of Trump's staunchest supporters, had reportedly spent nearly USD 300 billion to back Republicans in the 2024 elections and had taken on a lead role in Trump's sweeping federal cost-cutting initiative as head of the now-defunct Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).But since stepping down from DOGE, Musk has become one of the most vocal opponents of the new legislation, unleashing a barrage of posts on X. "Call your Senator, Call your Congressman," he earlier urged his 200 million-plus followers. "Bankrupting America is NOT ok! KILL the BILL."He didn't hold back in earlier posts either. "I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore," Musk had written on Tuesday. "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."

There should no longer be any questions respecting the complexity of Rare Earth products. Our respective teams will be meeting shortly at a location to be determined', US President Trump said on his phone call with the Chinese President. 'We will be represented by Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Jamieson Greer. During the conversation, President Xi graciously invited the First Lady and me to visit China, and I reciprocated. As Presidents of two Great Nations, this is something that we both look forward to doing. The conversation was focused almost entirely on TRADE. Nothing was discussed concerning Russia/Ukraine, or Iran. We will inform the Media as to scheduling and location of the soon to be meeting. Thank you for your attention to this matter!', the US President added. Why Jinping is not willing to meet Trump! The reason behind the reluctance shown by the Chinese President to meet Trump is the recent unpleasant behavior shown by US President during his meetings with state leaders of Ukraine and South Africa.
