The feud between President Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk escalated following Trump's comments on Musk's criticism of a budget bill. Trump suggested that Musk's discontent stemmed from the removal of electric vehicle (EV) mandates, implying ulterior motives. Musk responded vehemently, defending his stance and criticizing the bill for its lack of transparency and fairness, particularly regarding subsidies. As tensions rise, Musk emphasized the dichotomy between 'big and ugly' versus 'slim and beautiful' legislation, highlighting his views on government spending and policy priorities.
Elon's upset because we took the EV mandate and... they want us to pay billions of dollars in subsidy... I’m disappointed in my erstwhile ally.
In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that both big and beautiful.
False, this bill was never shown to me even once... so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!
Whatever. Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil & gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!)
Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim and beautiful bill. Slim and beautiful is the way.
