"Without me, you would have lost the election" - Elon Musk clashes

US President Donald Trump has said he was "very surprised" and "disappointed" with criticism from his former ally, Elon Musk, of his major budget bill.

"Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will have one anymore," Trump told reporters at the White House on Thursday, foreign media wrote.

On the other hand, Musk has responded aggressively, writes A2 CNN.

In response, Musk doubled down on the accusations on the social network 'X' and accused the President of "such ingratitude," adding: "Without me, Trump would have lost the election."

Musk left his post at the Department of Government Efficiency last week after 129 days on the job, and Trump presented him with a gold key during a congratulatory press conference on May 30.

But in the days since, Musk has repeatedly criticized Trump's budget bill currently being considered in Congress, calling it "disgusting" and writing, "Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did it wrong." (A2 Televizion)
