- Musk slammed Trump’s bill for cutting EV and solar incentives while sparing fossil fuel subsidies.
- Trump said Musk only complained after learning the EV credits were being axed.
- Musk hit back, calling the bill rushed, unreadable, and full of “disgusting pork.”
The feud between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump just kicked into overdrive. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO fired off a blunt post on X, slamming Trump’s tax and energy bill for gutting clean energy incentives while keeping oil and gas perks untouched. “Ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill,” Musk wrote, clearly fed up. That “whatever” he posted? Pretty much sums up the vibe.
Trump Claims Betrayal, Musk Fires Back
In the Oval Office, Trump said he was “very disappointed” with Musk, insisting he had helped the billionaire plenty and that Musk knew the bill inside out. But Musk wasn’t having it. “False,” he shot back. According to him, the bill was rushed through Congress so fast that barely anyone had time to read it, let alone him. He made it clear he was blindsided—and furious.
Musk Mocks Trump’s Favorite Catchphrase
Musk didn’t stop at just policy criticism—he took a jab at Trump’s branding too. Poking fun at the president’s habit of calling everything “big and beautiful,” Musk joked that no legislation in history could be both. “Slim and beautiful is the way,” he quipped, mocking the bill’s bloated size and overloaded spending items.
EV Cuts at the Heart of the Clash
At the core of this political soap opera is Trump’s move to slash electric vehicle and solar subsidies—huge for Musk’s businesses. While Trump frames it as fiscal responsibility, Musk sees it as sabotage. With both men digging in, what used to be a powerful partnership now looks like a full-on political brawl.
