Elon Musk has launched a high-profile critique of President Trump’s announcement to halt approval of new solar and wind energy projects. Trump claimed solar and wind, not his own policies, were to blame for “record breaking increases in electricity and energy costs.”

Musk dismissed Trump’s idea as short-sighted amid surging demand from AI and data centers.

On social media, Musk countered critics of renewables by bluntly stating, “Solar is the only option that scales.” His message challenges Trump’s move to tighten permitting authority, positioning solar as a critical scalable solution for America’s energy infrastructure.

Musk’s criticism of Trump follows his blistering denunciations of how the Trump administration handled the Jeffrey Epstein files.
