President Donald Trump said he is “disappointed” with Elon Musk after his former backer and adviser lambasted the president’s signature bill.
Mr Trump suggested the world’s richest man misses being in the White House and has “Trump derangement syndrome”.
The Republican president reflected on his break-up with Mr Musk in front of reporters in the Oval Office as the Space X owner continued a storm of social media posts attacking the president’s “Big Beautiful Bill” – and warning it will increase the federal deficit.
“I’m very disappointed in Elon,” Mr Trump said. “I’ve helped Elon a lot.”
Mr Musk has called Mr Trump’s big tax break bill a “disgusting abomination”.
As Mr Trump spoke to reporters at the White House on Thursday, Mr Musk was watching.
“False,” he fired back on his social media platform as the president continued speaking.
“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!”
