US President Donald Trump called the unreasonable critic of the entrepreneur Ilon Mask regarding the tax reduction bill.
The confrontation between US President Donald Trump and billionaire Ilon Musk continues to gain momentum. The reason for the conflict was the initiative on tax benefits, promoted by Trump and actively criticized by the magician.
“Elon has the right to disagree with me – it doesn’t matter to me, but he had to speak about it a few months ago. This bill is one of the most large -scale, ever submitted in the congress. It provides for a record reduction in costs by $ 1.6 trillion and the largest reduction in taxes in history,” Trump wrote on his page on the Truut Social social network, Commenting on the statements of Ilon Mask.
The head of the White House also warned that in the event of a rejection of the bill, taxes could grow by 68%, which, according to him, will lead to serious negative consequences for American citizens.
Previously, Trump expressed a deep disappointment in Ilon Mask, emphasizing that he criticized the initiative shortly after leaving the adviser to the White House.
“Ilon and I had a very good relationship, but now I am not sure that they are preserved. I am very disappointed, because I helped him a lot. So far, he has not said anything bad about me, but I am sure that this is a matter of time,” the American leader said.
In response, Ilon Musk made hard statements on the social network X, claiming that it was thanks to him that Trump was able to win the elections. “Trump would lose without me. Democrats would have gained control of the House of Representatives, and the Republicans in the Senate would only have 51st place against 49,” he said.
In addition, the entrepreneur criticized a new bill, calling it “Big Ugly Bill”, and stated that he would lead to an increase in budget deficit by 2.5 trillion dollars.
Musk also recalled Trump’s old statements about public debt, accompanying them with replicas: “Where is this person now?”
Against this background, the billionaire made a new charge. According to him, the name of Donald Trump is allegedly mentioned in the materials related to the case of Jeffrey Epstein – a financier accused of creating a sexual exploitation of minors and found dead in prison.
