Elon Musk fired back at President Donald Trump on X after being blamed for souring over cuts to electric vehicle incentives in the administration’s sweeping tax and spending bill.
Whatever.

Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil & gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill.
In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that both big and beautiful.…
“Whatever,” Musk wrote, dismissing Trump’s claim that he only objected to the bill after learning EV subsidies would be slashed. “Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts but ditch the mountain of disgusting pork.”
Responding directly to Trump’s claim that Musk was deeply familiar with the legislation, the billionaire said: “False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night.”
False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it! https://t.co/V4ztekqd4g

The clash follows Trump’s earlier comments lamenting Musk’s turn, noting, “I’ve helped him a lot. I’m very disappointed.”
