The tensions between President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk have flared up again amid criticisms surrounding a Republican tax bill.
Conflict Over Tax Bill
Elon Musk criticized the Republican-led tax bill, labeling it as 'fiscally irresponsible.' He expressed willingness to support primary challengers against Republicans backing the legislation, asserting that the government should not be handing out money to anyone, including himself.
Trump Threatens Musk
In response, Trump took to Truth Social to suggest a potential cut-off of federal subsidies to Musk's companies, stating that without these, Musk could face significant challenges.
Musk Calls for New Political Movement
Musk reiterated his opposition to the tax bill while criticizing cuts in green energy support, suggesting a need for a new political party that caters to the people's needs. This stance puts him at odds with Trump, who remains firm in his position.
The feud between Trump and Musk has transcended political differences, evolving into a clash between two powerful figures using every tool at their disposal to counter each other.
