Public tensions erupted between President Trump and Elon Musk, where Trump expressed disappointment over Musk's opposition to his key tax-and-spending bill. Their previously strong relationship deteriorated rapidly after Musk left his governmental position. Musk's criticism centers on the potential negative impact that the bill could have on electric vehicle incentives, an area critical to his business with Tesla. As both leaders exchanged barbs online, it became clear that their alliance, once a powerful force, had fundamentally shifted amid political disagreements.
Trump's remarks confirmed what had already been visible behind the scenes: a once-close alliance between two of the most powerful figures in the Republican Party had quickly unraveled.
I'm very disappointed in Elon. I've helped Elon a lot. Soon, both Musk and Trump were attacking each other via their respective social media platforms.

The package, a centerpiece of the President's domestic agenda, includes across-the-board tax cuts and sweeping reductions in federal spending.
