Elon Musk told MAGA activist Laura Loomer she should side with him amid his public feud with President Donald Trump on Thursday, as he would live longer than the president.
Musk, 53, and Trump, 78, traded barbs publicly after Musk had trashed Trump’s tax bill. In the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump was asked by reporters about Musk’s criticism of the administration’s “big beautiful bill.”
Trump downplayed Musk’s role in the 2024 election when he declared he would have won whether or not Musk got involved.
Musk fired back, “Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate… Such ingratitude.”
Loomer shared a screenshot of Musk’s comments and wrote, “It’s heating up. Will be interesting to see what Republican lawmakers do now. I know law makers who are asking if they should side with President Trump or Elon. I’ve been on the hill all day and it’s all anyone is talking about. The most powerful man in the world vs the richest man in the world.”
Musk replied, “Oh and some food for thought as they ponder this question: Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years…”
The Tesla CEO fired off a salvo of posts on X on Thursday after Trump smeared him from the Oval Office.
In a pair of Truth Social posts, Trump said Musk had gone “CRAZY” and appeared to threaten his company’s federal contracts.
“Elon was ‘wearing thin,’ I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!” Trump wrote in one post.
In another, he commented, “The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!”
In response to Trump’s claim that Musk was wearing out his welcome at the White House, the Tesla CEO replied, “Such an obvious lie. So sad.”
