It appears that President Trump’s friendship with billionaire Elon Musk is over.

President Trump, while in the Oval Office, was taking questions from the members of the press.

One question was asked of Trump regarding Elon Musk’s latest statements on the Big Beautiful Bill.

Trump responded, “Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will anymore. I was surprised.”

NBC News provided context for Trump’s latest remarks:

The simmering tension between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk exploded in public on Thursday, with the president sharply criticizing the Tesla CEO’s attacks on the Republican policy bill and Musk firing back that the president would have lost the election without his help.

“I’m very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office during a bilateral meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. “I’m very disappointed in Elon. I’ve helped Elon a lot.”

Trump suggested that Musk, who earlier this week called the GOP bill a “disgusting abomination,” was upset that the bill cut out a tax credit meant to incentivize electric vehicle purchases.

“Elon’s upset because we took the EV mandate, which was a lot of money for electric vehicles and they’re having a hard time with electric vehicles and they want us to pay billions of dollars in subsidy,” Trump said. “Elon knew this from the beginning.”

Tesla is the biggest electric vehicle maker in the United States. The company’s sales have suffered in recent months, reflecting increased global competition and backlash generated by Musk’s political activities. Since leaving his White House role last week, Musk has said he is back at work at his companies, including Tesla and major government contractor SpaceX, “24/7.” Tesla’s stock, however, has stumbled as he’s ramped up his attacks on Trump’s signature bill. Shares are down more than 20% so far this year.
