Musk has said the law, which is estimated by the non -partisan budget office to add $ 3 trillion in the deficit over the following decade, will damage the goal of government efficiency to reduce government spending and chew the country’s debt.
“Where is this person today ??” Musk wrote when he changed the compilation of other users from Trump’s past tweet which criticized the high deficit, an unbalanced budget and more.
Musk made similar comments about X to the majority leader of the Senate John Thune and DPR Speaker Mike Johnson.
Trump argues on Thursday that Musk, CEO of Tesla, is really “annoyed” because the law will delete tax credit for electric vehicles.
Before speaking openly against the bill, Musk personally encouraged several members of parliament, including speaker Johnson, to maintain tax credit for electric vehicles in the bill, according to two people who were familiar with the conversation.
“I am very disappointed because Elon knows how it works in this bill is better than almost everyone who sits here, better than you guys,” Trump said at the oval office on Thursday. “He knows everything about that. He has no problem with it. Suddenly, he has a problem.”
Musk pushed back X and suggested that Trump would not say the truth.
“Wrong, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the middle of the night so fast that there was almost no one in the congress that could even read it!” He wrote.
