Donald Trump boasts he could once get Elon Musk to 'drop to knees'
Trump escalated his feud with Elon Musk in a series of Truth Social posts.
A day after Musk said Trump was too old to become the next U.S. president and Trump needed to "sail into the sunset," the former president penned three posts hitting out at Musk.
"When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidised projects, whether it's electric cars that don't drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he'd be worthless, and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, 'drop to your knees and beg,' and he would have done it," Trump claimed in a post, appearing to criticise at least two of Musk's companies, $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ and SpaceX.
In response, Musk tweeted, "Lmaooo," followed by a GIF of Grandpa Simpson yelling at clouds.
Trump did lend Musk a hand while he was in office. Elon Musk's companies, like Tesla and SpaceX, have received billions in government subsidies over the years. In 2020, Musk even received Trump's backing to defy the local authorities and reopen his California Tesla factory amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
