Trump 'disappointed' with Musk's attacks on budget bill

President Trump expresses dismay over Elon Musk's criticism of the budget bill

President Trump has expressed his disappointment with Tesla CEO Elon Musk's efforts to repeal a recently passed federal budget bill. The bill, touted as the most expansive spending package in history, was met with criticism from Musk, who claimed it included a last-minute amendment that would increase the tax on Tesla's imported vehicles to the US. President Trump, who has a history of siding with Musk on issues, expressed his frustration in a recent interview, stating:

"I was very disappointed that he did that because Elon Musk is a very good person, frankly. He's a very good person, but he's P.O.'d off at the wrong people, in the wrong direction."

The controversial amendment, added at the last minute to a unrelated piece of legislation, has been a point of contention for Tesla and other automakers importing vehicles into the US. The amendment affects a number of products, but primarily targets electric vehicles made outside of North America.

What's Next?

Musk has been vigorously opposing the bill, lobbying Congress to repeal it. However, with President Trump publicly expressing his disappointment, it remains to be seen how this will affect Musk's efforts. It's worth noting that the President has a long history of siding with Musk and Tesla on various issues.
