President Donald Trump signaled his relationship with Elon Musk, once one of his closest advisers, was badly damaged as a result of the Tesla CEO’s criticism of the reconciliation bill.
“Elon and I had a great relationship,” Trump told reporters during a bilateral meeting with the chancellor of Germany in the Oval Office. “I don’t know that we will anymore.”
Days after leaving his role in government, Musk has come out forcefully against the “one big, beautiful bill,” the vehicle by which the Trump administration is attempting to score a number of legislative victories.
