The White House has brushed off Elon Musk’s attacks on Donald Trump as an “unfortunate episode.”

Musk and Trump’s very public spat began on Thursday afternoon after the president told reporters at the White House that he was “disappointed” in Musk.

Trump also accused Musk of suffering from “Trump derangement syndrome” and suggested that he only objected to the “big, beautiful bill” because it removed the electric vehicle tax subsidies, which would hit Tesla’s bottom line.

    Adult man children run this country while many people struggling day to day or living paycheck to paycheck. Food and water supply poisoned with “forever chemicals”. Plus a myriad of other issues that remain unaddressed (climate change).

    Their bickering is news worthy because it’s “entertaining”. We prefer to be medicated with entertainment rather than deal with real issues. The billionaires have us fighting a culture war with ourselves rather than having a class war against the billionaire class that run this country.
