https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06/05/us/trump-elon-muskThe open acrimony between the two men comes after the billionaire denounced President Trump’s signature domestic policy bill as an “abomination.”
President Trump and Elon Musk’s alliance dissolved into open acrimony on Thursday, as the two men hurled personal attacks at each other after the billionaire had unleashed broadsides against the president’s signature domestic policy bill.
While meeting with Friedrich Merz, Germany’s new chancellor, in the Oval Office, Mr. Trump broke days of uncharacteristic silence and unloaded on Mr. Musk, who until last week was a top presidential adviser.
“I’m very disappointed in Elon,” Mr. Trump said. “I’ve helped Elon a lot.”
As the president criticized Mr. Musk, the billionaire responded in real time on X, the social media platform he owns.
“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Mr. Musk wrote.
“Such ingratitude,” he added, taking credit for Mr. Trump’s election in a way that he never has before.
EXCERPT
And thus ends that partnership, right on queue. Will Trump make Musk give back that golden key to the White House that he gave him?
