Yes. YES. Musk taking a victory lap for getting Trump elected should really turn around his sagging public image.

Trump repeatedly claimed that Musk’s concerns with the bill were centered on the repeal of electric vehicle subsidies that benefitted Tesla. Musk has admitted his company has struggled in the wake of his political involvement.

Musk didn’t wait to respond, posting his reactions in real time on his social media platform X.

“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Musk said. He added: “Such ingratitude.”

Musk denied Trump’s claim that the Tesla CEO knew the inner workings of the bill ahead of time, and countered that the elimination of EV tax incentives has nothing to do with his opposition to the massive domestic policy bill.

It was inevitable, Trump's "relationships" never last. Elon should tell us more about how Trump would have lost the election without him.

But I'm starting to smell gunpowder. Someone needs to subpoena the Muskrat to tell everything that he did to rig the election for the Orange Turd!
