Trump later added he believed Elon is just mad that electric vehicle subsidies were cut in the new bill.

TRUMP: “I’m very disappointed with Elon. I’ve helped him a lot. He knew the inner workings of the bill better than anybody sitting here. He had no problem with it. All of a sudden he had a problem & he only developed the problem when he found out we’re going to cut EV mandate” pic.twitter.com/aeCcmCAODQ

The New York Times shared more on Musk’s posts:
Elon Musk often uses polls on social media to build consensus around decisions he wants to make. In late 2022, after he bought Twitter, he used a poll to ask users if he should bring back Trump’s then-suspended account, an action he had already signaled his support for. A few weeks after that, he used another poll to ask his followers if he should step down as chief executive of Twitter.
Elon Musk launched a poll on X that asked his followers if there should be a “new political party” that represents “the 80 percent in the middle.” The billionaire has often portrayed himself as a centrist, despite his engagement with right-wing leaders around the world. Although he promised $100 million to groups controlled by the Trump political operation, he has not delivered it, and could funnel his considerable wealth into this idea as his next political project.
After Trump claimed Musk was upset that tax credits for electric vehicles were stripped from the bill, Musk shared a video snippet of Trump speaking during a March promotional event for Tesla at the White House. “I ended the EV mandate. He never even complained to me,” Trump said at the time, referring to Musk. “Remember this?” Musk wrote in a post that shared the clip and tagged Trump’s account on X.
