Trump moves on from Musk rift, touts agenda victories
Articles / Government / White House Trump moves on from Musk rift, touts agenda victories Leaving the distraction of Thursday’s highly public sparring with former DOGE chief Elon Musk behind, Trump is touting thus-far accomplishments that he campaigned on. By: President Trump appeared Friday to try to refocus Americans’ attention on his administration – away from his feud with Elon Musk to the economy. “Prices are down, income is up, our Border is closed, gasoline is CHEAP, inflation is DEAD — Our Country is BOOMING! Companies are pouring into America like never before,” he posted Friday on Truth Social. An hour later, Trump posted again saying, “AMERICA IS HOT! SIX MONTHS AGO IT WAS COLD AS ICE! BORDER IS CLOSED, PRICES ARE DOWN. WAGES ARE UP!” The posts come one day after a mix of public insults and social media posts by both Trump and Musk, who backed Trump’s winning 2024 presidential campaign, then joined his administration to lead its Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. Trump also told ABC News and CNN on Friday that he was not interested in making up with Musk. On Thursday, during a state visit by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump spoke about the budget reconciliation package which the House passed, then sent to the Senate. Trump responded to a question about Elon Musk’s criticism of the budget reconciliation bill, referred to as the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Trump expressed surprise and disappointment, stating, “Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will anymore.” He stated that Musk was aware of the bill’s details and said, “Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody and he had no problem with it” until after leaving his role in the administration. Trump suggested Musk’s criticism stemmed from the bill’s revocation of electric vehicle mandates, noting, “He’s upset because we took away the EV mandate.” He also mentioned rejecting Musk’s pick to lead NASA. Trump defended the bill, calling it “one of the greatest bills ever presented to Congress” and emphasizing his intent to “fix” the issues raised, as stated on Truth Social. Musk responds in a series of X posts including one in which he said Trump is in the Jeffrey Epstein files “that is the real reason they have not been made public.” Musk also briefly threatened to decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft before retracting the statement.
