Responding to Loomer’s post about GOP indecision between Trump and Musk, the Tesla CEO said, “Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years.”
Elon Musk told activist Laura Loomer that Republicans should back him over Donald Trump because he’ll outlive the president.
Responding to Loomer’s post about GOP indecision between Trump and Musk, the Tesla CEO said, “Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years.”
The spat follows Musk’s criticism of Trump’s tax policy, prompting Trump to claim Musk’s support was irrelevant to his 2024 victory. Musk fired back: “Without me, Trump would have lost… Such ingratitude.”
Trump responded on Truth Social, calling Musk “CRAZY,” accusing him of benefiting from EV mandates, and threatening to cut federal contracts: “The easiest way to save money… is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies.”
Musk replied on X, “Such an obvious lie. So sad.”
Loomer, reflecting GOP confusion, said, “It’s all anyone is talking about… the most powerful man in the world vs the richest man in the world.”
