Speaking at the Oval Office on Thursday, the US President said he “is very disappointed” Musk To criticize his signature tax bill, and suggested that he is trying to defend his commercial interests.

“It is not the first … people leave my administration and some of them really become hostile,” Trump He said about the aspects of musk in recent days. “They leave, wake up in the morning, go with joy, the whole world is different, and they become hostile.”

He added: “I am very disappointed at Elon. I have helped Elon a lot.”

Trump’s comments in public bring a deep row with Musk. The billionaire – which opposes the White House Trade war In addition to the president’s tax bill – and some of his allies suddenly leave the administration.

Musk, who fell in April from politics because of his “reaction” against his actions, suggested that he regretted Trump’s support for more than $ 250 million during last year’s elections, after the president claimed that he would win without billionaire money.

“Only, Trump has lost the elections, Democrats will control the House of Representatives and the Republicans will be 51-49 in the Senate,” published on its social media site X shortly after the Oval Office. “Such inflammation.”

The stocks in Tesla decreased by more than 6 percent after Trump’s comments.

Mousse, who so far refrained from directing Trump directly, suggested that the president abandoned his principles in federal spending.

The billionaire, who feels upset Tax bill Now before the Senate, he will increase the deficit in the United States with a trillion dollars, and has highlighted the old posts by Trump in which Republicans were criticizing the debt ceiling.

The billionaire also received based on Trump’s suggestion that he opposed the “big beautiful bill” because it suffers from tax credits for electric cars and clean energy, which have benefited from Tesla in the United States long.

“Keep the EV/Solar incentive discounts in the draft law, although there are no oil benefits and gas (very unfair !!), but getting rid of the disgusting pork mountain in the bill,” MUSK was published.

The fracture has spread in the relationship between the former “First Friends” and the president now through Washington. Last week, Trump withdrew the nomination of the billionaire astronaut Jared Ishaq, a close ally, to lead NASA, outwardly due to the contributions he made to Democratic candidates in the past.

Ishaqan, who was on the right track to receive partisan support from the Senate, opposed the White House justification for the decision.

“I don’t think the timing was largely by chance,” Ishaqan told the newspaper “Cole in the Podcast” on Wednesday. “There was (there was) some people who had some axes of grinding, I think, and I was a good and visible goal.”

Musk has already announced that he was returning to his involvement in the Trump administration, as he led the so -called government efficiency (DOGE). Musk boasted that Doge would reduce trillion dollars from federal spending, although savings so far have been more modest.

Steve Davis, one of the Lieutenant in Musk at Spacex who led Dog on a daily basis, has now left the administration, according to a government official.

The official said that more personalities close to the billionaire are scheduled to give up the initiative in the coming days.

Musk himself suggested that the tax law will erase any savings by DOGE, which claims to have set nearly $ 180 billion in discounts so far. On Wednesday, the Central Financial Agency at Congress said that the legislation will add $ 2.4 trillion to US debt by 2034.

On Thursday, Musa refused Trump’s proposal that he knew what was in the bill and was only called once he left Washington. “Flee, this bill did not appear to me even once and passed through the night of the night so that almost no one in Congress can read it!”
