Elon Musk knows what he believes he brought to the table in the 2024 election â a win for President Donald Trump.
Musk took to X to let readers know just that.
âWithout me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,â he posted.
âSuch ingratitude,â he added in another post.
The exchange between the former allies heated up as Trump said he was very surprisedâ and âdisappointedâ in Musk for criticizing the âbig, beautiful billâ the president has been touting.
âIâve always liked Elon. And so I was very surprised. You saw the words he had for me, and he hasnât said anything about me thatâs bad. Iâd rather have him criticize me than the bill. Because the bill is incredible,â Trump said from the Oval Office Thursday.
âElon and I had a great relationship. I donât know if we will any more,â Trump continued.
Musk backed Trump in the election financially and physically. He spent millions of dollars on the campaign and traveled the campaign trail to help Trump.
He was then tasked with leading the newly created Department of Government Efficiency with a mission of cutting costs. His last day at that post was Friday.
Musk has been criticizing Trump and the âbig, beautiful bill.â Earlier this week, Musk called the bill âan abominationâ and âpork-filled.â
He then went into the future with his posts.
âIn November next year, we fire all politicians who betrayed the American people,â he posted.
