President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened to cut Elon Musk’s government contracts as their fractured alliance rapidly escalated into a public spat.
Trump said he was “very disappointed” by the former adviser’s opposition to his top legislative priority, and Musk fired back that Trump would not have won the election without his financial support.
Their row escalated when Musk claimed, without evidence, that Trump’s administration hasn’t released all the records related to sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein because the president is mentioned in them.
