President Donald Trump on Thursday said he was disappointed in Elon Musk's criticism of Republicans' tax cut package, which the billionaire called a "disgusting abomination" and has urged Congress to block.
"Well, look, you know, I've always liked Elon, and so I was very surprised, and you saw the words he had. He hasn't said anything about me that's bad.
