Fewer friendships have soured quite as rapidly, and with as much media glare, as that of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Almost inseparable over the last nine months, President Trump and his go-to friend and later colleague, Elon Musk, had parted ways a few days ago. Now their spat is out in public.
"Look, Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will any more," said President Trump as Elon Musk had appealed for his "One Big Beautiful Bill" to be stopped at all cost. "Kill the bill," Musk had said less than 24 hours ago. That bill has now passed the House of Representatives.
"I'm very disappointed in Elon," Trump said while speaking to the American press.
