Trump Bizarrely Claims He Wants Elon Musk To ‘Thrive’ After Threatening Him
Donald Trump and Elon Musk.US President Donald Trump says he wants Elon Musk to “thrive” just weeks after threatening to end the tech billionaire’s government contracts.  “Everyone is stating that I will destroy Elon’s companies by taking away some, if not all, of the large scale subsidies he receives from the US government. This is not so!” Trump wrote Thursday on Truth Social.He continued, “I want Elon, and all businesses within our Country, to THRIVE, in fact, THRIVE like never before! The better they do, the better the USA does, and that’s good for all of us. We are setting records every day, and I want to keep it that way!”The POTUS’ comments appear to be a total 180 from his recent statements from both himself and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt amid the ongoing drama with Musk, the former head of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency. On Wednesday, Leavitt said that she does not think Trump supports federal agencies contracting with Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI.After Leavitt was questioned about whether she thinks Trump would seek to have the government cancel the contract with the corporation, which was announced last week, Leavitt said she would discuss it with the president.  Musk scored the contract for up to $200 million with the Department of Defence alongside three other major tech firms — Anthropic, Google and OpenAI. In June, Trump also threatened to axe federal contracts with Musk-run businesses, such as SpaceX.“The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts,” the president wrote in a June 5 Truth Social post. Musk quickly fired back on X, formerly Twitter, writing, “Go ahead, make my day …” Trump and Musk have been at odds since May after the businessman’s temporary advisory role in the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency ended. Following Musk’s exit, the pair have taken several digs at each other. Trump announced in June that he would “look” into Musk’s deportation (Musk was born in South Africa). Meanwhile, the Tesla head has publicly slammed Trump’s controversial spending and tax bill, also known as the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Related...Jeffrey Epstein Asked About Himself, Trump And Underage Girls In Resurfaced VideoTrump Snaps, Abruptly Ends CNN Interview After Being Questioned About New Epstein Photos'Not How Numbers Work': Critics School Trump After Baffling New Claim
