Tensions between US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk exploded into a public feud after Musk slammed Trump’s controversial tax and spending bill. Trump, calling Musk's criticism “surprising” and “disappointing,” spoke out during an Oval Office meeting. Musk fired back on X, accusing Trump of “ingratitude” and claiming the president would’ve lost the 2024 election without his support. Musk recently resigned from his post overseeing government spending reforms. He criticized the bill as a "disgusting abomination" that expands the deficit. Once close allies, the rift marks a dramatic fallout between the tech billionaire and the Republican leader. (PC: BBC)
