(Washington) Donald Trump once again tackled his former ally Elon Musk, the richest man in the world on Tuesday, for the subsidies he touches from the American state, without which, according to the president, “he should close shop and return home to South Africa”.
After a thunderous dispute, the two men had seemed to be rewritten on June 11, the founder of SpaceX, a space company very dependent on the orders of NASA, regretting “having gone too far”.
“Elon perhaps gets more subsidies than any other individual in history, by far, and without these subsidies, Elon should probably close shop and return home to South Africa,” scolded Trump on Tuesday on his social social network.
“More rocket, satellite or electric cars’ launching launches and our country would save a fortune,” he added.
“Perhaps we should ask Dog to examine it seriously?” Lots of money to save! ! ! “, He again threatened.
Before their breakup, Elon Musk had been responsible for setting up Doge, the Federal Commission responsible for melting, sometimes brutally, federal public spending.
The two men, who were very close during the Republican campaign and at the start of his second mandate, were torn publicly, in both professional and personal registers.
The businessman had notably denounced the megaproject of budgetary law carried by Donald Trump, which he had dealt with “repugnant abomination”.
It is a new Musk attack on the “big and beautiful law” of Donald Trump, which should be adopted by the Senate on Tuesday, which rekindled the quarrel.
“It is obvious, given the breathtaking spending of the text – which records in record the debt ceiling of $ 5,000 billion – that we live in a country with a single party: the Party of pigs that manages,”, had denounced on X Musk Musk on Monday.
The boss of Tesla warned: if the text is adopted, he will launch a new party and finance the campaign to the republican primaries of candidates opposed to current parliamentarians.
“Vox Populi Vox Dei. 80 % voted for a new party, “he warned again on X on Tuesday, adding that” all I ask is that we are not going bankrupt “.
