Elon Musk has claimed that Donald Trump has "such ingratitude" towards him
The 53-year-old tech billionaire recently stepped down from his role in the Trump administration and has now claimed that he is the sole reason that the President of the United States won the election in the first place
8 June 2025
On Thursday (05.06.25), he wrote on X: "Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate. Such ingratitude!"
His post comes just days after Trump claimed that White and Musk once had a "great relationship" with one another, he is not sure that will be the case anymore.
He said: "You saw a man who was very happy when he stood behind the Oval desk. Even with a black eye. I said, do you want a little makeup? He said, 'No, I don't think so,' which is interesting.
"Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore!"
The Tesla founder had complained about Trump's signature tax and spending bill and encouraged Americans to demand that their representatives in Washington "kill the bill".
Prior to that, he described the bill as a "disgusting abomination" and claimed that it would only add to the budget deficit and plunge the US into "crushing" debt."
He claimed that the "outrageous, pork-filled" spending bill would "massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America [sic] citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt".
Upon Musk's resignation from the administration, Trump claimed he was "very disappointed" in him and hinted that the "problem" he had seemed to have come out of nowhere.
He said: I'm very disappointed with Elon. He had no problem with it. All of a sudden he had a problem, and he only developed the problem when he found out we're going to cut EV mandate."
