At one point, Elon Musk said he is going to work to primary every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then voted for the reconciliation bill.
Elon Musk said he will go after any member of Congress who voted in favor of Trump’s bill.
President Trump said maybe we should have DOGE – the agency that Elon Musk used to head – look at how much money the government is spending on subsidizing Elon Musk’s ventures.
“Elon Musk knew, long before he so strongly Endorsed me for President, that I was strongly against the EV Mandate. It is ridiculous, and was always a major part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to own one. Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE. Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!” Trump said on Truth Social.

Elon's not wrong about the insanity of adding $5 trillion in debt, but this public back and forth is not doing anyone any good. The only people this helps are the Democrats, if they sober up and figure things out. Trump is not wrong on EVs, either. There's more here than meets the eye, like maybe Elon needs to reboot his chemical cocktail.
