In an interview with American journalist Scott Jennings, Trump was asked whether Musk would return to the Republican party. He responded, “I don’t think he has a choice. What will he do, join the radical left-wing crazies?”
In June/July, there was a public dispute between Musk and Trump over a broad bill proposed by the American president to cut federal spending, which Musk described as a “disgusting abomination.”
In response to businessman Musk’s criticism of the bill, Trump warned that without support, he would have to “shut the shop and return to South Africa.”
