Summary
Donald Trump mocked Elon Musk during a University of Alabama commencement speech, claiming Musk and other tech leaders who once opposed him are now “kissing my a–.”
The jab came days after Musk reportedly exited the White House and refocused on Tesla.
Trump recalled Musk seeking help for “subsidized projects” and boasted about his past leverage over him.
The two, once rivals, had grown close but showed signs of tension. White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles said Musk remains involved, though no longer physically present.
I feel like them turning on each other was inevitable. It was just a matter of when. Still the cracks started forming earlier than I expected, I wonder if trump will eventually take away a lot of teslas subsidies since it seems like the maga crowd also hates him
Yeah fascism consumes until there is nothing left but eventual self-consumption. Here’s to hoping we stop lining elon’s pockets with taxpayer money through tesla
Really? Because I thought they would fall apart way faster than they did, I’m honestly amazed they lasted past the inauguration
