According to White House officials, Musk and President Trump still have good relations. But he (Musk) has made it clear that he is disappointed with the obstacles faced while overturning Washington and the federal bureaucracy.
Musk has taken a dig at President Trump’s domestic policy law. He said that this will increase the national deficit. He complained to the administration officials about a company. An agreement was made with this company to build an artificial-intelligence data center in the Middle East. This company had promised 100 million dollars for running Trump’s politics. Trump alleges that this company has not given this amount till now. Musk, who once called himself a trusted friend of Trump, has now distanced himself from him. He says that he will now focus on his companies.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced his separation from the Donald Trump administration on X on Wednesday. Recently, Musk had openly criticized Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful’ tax bill.
Musk wrote on X that his stipulated time as a special government employee is ending. He wants to thank President Donald Trump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful expenditure. This mission will get stronger with time. It will become a way of life in the coming governments. It should be noted that during the presidential election campaign, a good relationship was formed between the two. Musk not only supported Trump’s candidature but also contributed 250 million dollars.
