Elon Musk has been feuding with President Trump over a bill the president is championing that, among other things, cuts incentives for electric vehicles and solar energy that benefit Musk’s company Tesla.
Trump said Musk’s vocal opposition to Republicans’ “big, beautiful bill” is based on its elimination of incentives for electric vehicles (EVs).
“Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here. ... He had no problem with it,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
“All of a sudden he had a problem, and he only developed the problem when he found out that we're going to have to cut the EV mandate, because that's billions and billions of dollars,” he added.
While the bill may not be all bad for Musk – including preserving Trump’s 2017 income tax cuts
