US President Donald Trump criticized billionaire Elon Musk today, Thursday, stating that he feels "disappointed" due to Musk's public opposition to the comprehensive tax and spending bill, which is at the heart of Trump's agenda, while Musk said, "Without me, the US president would have lost the elections."

Trump said in a statement at the White House, "Elon and I have a great relationship... I don't know if we will remain so anymore."

He added, "He has said the nicest things about me, and he hasn't said anything bad about me personally, but I am sure that will come later. But I am very disappointed in Elon... I have helped him a lot."

Trump also confirmed that Musk launched a scathing attack on the bill due to the proposed cancellation of tax exemptions for electric vehicle owners.

Musk, the CEO of Tesla, the electric car manufacturer, stated that he opposes the bill because it will increase the federal deficit.

Trump pointed out that Musk, who received a warm farewell from the US president last week after overseeing his campaign to reduce federal costs, is upset because he misses working with the US president.
