The Wall Street Journal: Trump Loses Patience with Musk's Opposition, Their Relationship on Thin Ice

BlockBeats News, June 5th. According to The Wall Street Journal, after Musk criticized the expansive tax and spending bill of the Republican Party, Trump seems to have lost patience with Musk. At the same time, Musk was infuriated by Trump's decision to withdraw the nomination of a key ally to lead NASA. A senior White House official said that Trump was unhappy with Musk's decision to denounce the bill he had signed, and the President was puzzled by Musk's intensified criticism after four months of close cooperation. The official stated that Trump's senior advisors were caught off guard by Musk's latest onslaught.

According to sources familiar with the matter, the White House recently vetoed Trump's nominated head of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Jared Isaacman, a move that further strained the unstable alliance between the two. A person directly familiar with the situation said that this decision angered Musk, who complained to colleagues over the weekend that despite donating hundreds of millions to help Trump get elected last year, he saw Isaacman's nomination revoked. People close to Musk said that his disappointment with the NASA incident made him more willing to actively criticize the tax bill. (FX Street)
