But their working relationship took a hit this week after Musk repeatedly criticized the thin-skinned president’s so-called Big Beautiful Bill.
Trump even suggested the rupture could be permanent on Thursday.
“Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will anymore,” he said. “He hasn’t said bad things about me personally, but I’m sure that’ll be next. But I’m very disappointed in Elon. I’ve helped Elon a lot.”

The tiff between two emotionally immature billionaires inspired unprecedented social media snark ― including from the president himself.

He added, “I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!”
