According to the live broadcast of the event, after a conversation between them, Musk then left the stage of the American President. Trump also made sure to shake hands with Musk as he bid him farewell. There had been a public dispute between Musk and Trump last June over the American President’s bill on reducing federal spending, which Musk described as ‘disgusting.’ At the end of June, with his disagreement with Trump continuing, Musk again called for the establishment of a new political party in the United States, noting that the country had become ‘a one-party state.’ Trump responded to Musk’s criticism of the bill by warning him that he would have to ‘shut down his company and return to his homeland in South Africa’ if he did not receive government support.
