Ex-President Donald Trump is sparing no effort in a bid to escalate his feud with Elon Musk, ratcheting up his attacks on the Tesla CEO.
Ex-President Donald Trump intensified his war of words with Elon Musk on Tuesday night by sending out a myriad of messages on Truth Social.
In his messages, Trump pointed out that the world’s wealthiest man visited the White House multiple times between 2016 and 2020, as per a report by The Guardian.
“When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocket ships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless,” he wrote.

As per Trump, Musk told the former Apprentice host that he was a big Trump fan. He added, “I could have said, ‘drop to your knees and beg,’ and he would have done it.”
Further, Trump had a word of advice for Musk over his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter.
“Now Elon should focus on getting himself out of the Twitter mess because he could owe $44 billion for something that’s perhaps worthless. Also, lots of competition for electric cars!” Trump wrote.
Moreover, he pointed out another potential legal issue facing the 51-year-old business magnate.
“Why was Elon allowed to break the $15 million stock purchase barrier on Twitter without any reporting? That is a very serious breach! Have fun Elon and @jack, go for it.”
