In another statement, the president suggested that the businessman is upset about no longer having direct influence in decision-making: "Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we're good now. He has worn the cap that says 'Trump is right about everything,' and I'm right about the Great and Beautiful budget."
Musk also mentioned his role in Trump's electoral victory: "Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Democrats would control the House of Representatives, and Republicans would have 51-49 in the Senate. How ungrateful."
In one of his latest tweets, the American businessman posted a poll asking: "Is it time to create a new political party in the United States that truly represents the 80% center?"
Despite the exchange, there has been no formal break between the two. The differences seem to focus on fiscal policy and the specific content of the new budget, rather than a personal dispute.
Musk continues to insist that the project be reviewed to eliminate the excessive deficit spending and the increase in debt, while Trump defends the law as an essential tool to strengthen security and reduce taxes.
