US President Donald Trump left on Thursday the possibility of terminating government contracts and subsidies granted to the companies of Ilon Musk, as the public conflict between the two men escalate against the background of the tax and public spending bill.

“The easiest way to save billions of dollars on our budget is to terminate the state grants and contracts of the Ilon,” Trump wrote in a post on the Truth Social platform.

In just one hour, the once close cooperation between Donald Trump and the Ilon Mask turned into an open war, with personal attacks and irony on issues of serious issues such as state subsidies to almost fancies, such as … whether Musk would have to cover him with a makeup.

The controversy was triggered by Trump’s new legislative proposal for expenses and taxes, but quickly escalated, with the US president launching an attack on his former adviser even during his official meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich.

“I am very disappointed with Ilon,” President Trump said on Thursday, adding: “I have helped him a lot.” The conflict of the two men unfolded in real time, with Ilon Musk responding via the X platform:

“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, the Democrats would control the House and the Republicans would only have 51-49 majority in the Senate,” the billionaire wrote, making such a statement on his contribution to the election victory for the first time. “Such a dumbness,” he added.
