Earlier this month, The U.S. leader had suggested that X Owner receives unusually large government support.

"We might have to put DOGE on Elon," Trump told reporters, raising concerns that federal aid to Musks companies could be reduced to save public funds.

Those comments sparked worries among investors and political observers that he might be targeting X Owner, especially after previous tensions between the two. Musk had publicly criticized The President large infrastructure and spending bill, which threatened to slash EV incentives. The bill narrowly passed the Senate despite The Tesla chief vocal opposition.

Musk labeled the legislation a “disgusting abomination” and urged Americans to oppose it. In response, he mentioned he had sidelined Elon from electric vehicle policymaking discussions and considered ending certain federal contracts with Tesla.
