Elon Musk says that his criticism of Trump is “very far away”
Elon Musk said in a post on social media early on Wednesday that he had regretted some of his functions and comments on President Trump last week, prompting the president to extract technological billionaire, a real -time conflict on social media.
Mr. Musk said on his platform X that some of his positions about Mr. Trump “went very far.”
Mr. Musk, the richest person in the world, was among the closest advisers of the president, supervising a great effort to reduce spending and reduce the volume of federal workforce. But he and Mr. Trump had a dramatic and global fall after he left the CEO of Tesla his role in the administration.
Both men exchanged criticism on social media, and Mr. Trump said last week that he was not interested in reforming the relationship.
Unfortunately, the general expression of Mr. Musk was a sign of the solid of the possibility of confrontation with the president. Until last week, Mr. Musk agreed with a post on X, indicating that the two men were “stronger together”. Mr. Musk has since deleted some of his most social media. Mr. Trump has reduced some of his general criticism of Mr. Musk.
The protests in Los Angeles also highlighted a major issue, as the two men agree: immigration. In recent days, Mr. Musk has used his social media platform to hesitate to repeat Mr. Trump’s speech on protests and needs a strong government response.
On Wednesday, the job of Mr. Musk emphasizes the dynamics of the complex power between the two men. Mr. Musk, who poured nearly 275 million dollars in the campaign to re -election Mr. Trump, is the largest donor in Republican policy. He also has more followers than anyone else on X, the social media platform he owns.
But Mr. Trump carries a wide political strength on Mr. Musk. The billionaire companies, especially Tesla and Spacex, have received billions of dollars in federal contracts in recent years. With the spread of the two men online last week, Mr. Trump threatened to cut them as a way to “save money” in the federal budget.
Mr. Musk companies promised $ 3 billion in federal contracts from 17 federal agencies in 2023 alone. A number of federal agencies investigate or prosecute musk companies.
The two allies of the two men urge them to be successful. The building initially focused on Mr. Musk’s criticism of Mr. Trump’s local policy bill, which was condemned as a “disgusting abomination” because it will significantly add to the national debt. But the dispute quickly moved to trivial and strange attacks.
Mr. Musk, for example, suggested that the Trump administration did not issue its files on the disgraceful financier Jeffrey Epstein because Mr. Trump was in it. Mr. Trump asked, at one time, why Mr. Musk did not cover his black eye with makeup during the appearance of an oval office last week.
The battle of social media came as Mr. Musk pledged to retract politics and his work in the Ministry of Governmental efficiency, a project to reduce costs in the federal government, to re -focus on his companies, which face important moments for their future.
Tesla has witnessed its decrease in the world as Mr. Musk’s policy has become pressure on the car sign. In the United States, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands and France, sales decreased while other electric car makers are acquired.
Tesla faces a big test later this month, when the company is expected to present a new fleet of cars in Austin, Texas, called Robotaxi.
Mr. Musk’s Space Company, Spacex, faces the main challenges. The company is developing the largest and strongest missile that has been built ever. Test trips have yet produced mixed results.
