Elon Musk and Donald Trump have had a complex relationship over the years. Initially, Musk was critical of Trump, stating in 2016 that he didn't believe Trump was "the right guy" for the presidency . However, their paths crossed when Trump appointed Musk to his economic advisory councils in December 2016.
The conflict between Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump has come to the public forum. On June 5, the conflict came to the surface when Trump accused Musk of trying to fail the bill due to the removal of electric vehicle tax credit.
When US President Donald Trump's second term began, the world's richest man Elon Musk was seen as his senior advisor. Along with this, Trump also appointed Musk as a special government officer by making him the head of DOGE.
Recently Musk's tenure as DOGE head ended and with this he also stepped down from the post of Trump's advisor. Since then, the rhetoric between the two is at its peak and now the animosity between the two has started coming out openly.
