Their relationship, however, went sour shortly after Musk exited the Trump’s administration.

According to Trump, “no more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE.
“Perhaps we should have DOGE take a good, hard, look at this? BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!”
