Elon Musk attacks Trump again, criticizing the president: "He will destroy millions of jobs..."
It's undoubtedly one of the most high-profile divorces of the last year. After a few months of seemingly inseparable best friends, Elon Musk and Donald Trump have parted ways, fed up with each other, and now they're doing nothing but sending each other messages and criticizing each other for what each other does.
While Musk's arrival at the White House as director of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) seemed like a great idea in the minds of both magnates, after a few months, it seems that both parties ended very badly.
Between accusations of pedophilia and drug use , both Musk and Trump have aired each other's dirty laundry in recent weeks, generating enormous tension in the US economic-political landscape , from which Musk and Tesla have come out the most harmed .
That's why it seemed like the world's richest man had called a truce, trying to prevent his companies from falling on the stock market. But Musk has a limit and doesn't back down from anyone, much less hold his tongue. That's why, after learning the contents of President Donald Trump's tax cuts and public spending package , expected to be approved by July 4, he lashed out at his former friend.
"It will destroy millions of jobs..."The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!
Utterly insane and destructive. It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future. https://t.co/TZ9w1g7zHF
"The latest Senate draft will destroy millions of American jobs and cause immense strategic damage to our country ," Musk wrote yesterday on his social media platform X. "It is completely insane and destructive. It subsidizes industries of the past while severely harming those of the future."
The US landscape has changed a lot since Musk went from being the president's closest ally to his worst enemy. As we've said many times, it's always like that with the Tesla owner: all or nothing, there are no half measures. Now Musk assures us he'll stay away from politics after his companies faced harsh criticism for their closeness to the Trump administration, but that doesn't mean he won't get involved and give his opinion on these types of issues.
