Trump criticized Musk in a post, stating that the electric vehicle mandate has been lifted and suggesting the termination of his government subsidies

According to Trump's comments posted on social media in the early hours of the morning, he stated that he has requested Musk to "leave" and lifted the mandatory electric vehicle sales policy, stating that "no one wants" the policy. He also proposed to terminate government subsidies and contracts received by Musk's companies in order to save "hundreds of billions of dollars" in budget. Trump emphasized that his proposed fiscal bill would cut $1.6 trillion in spending and implement the largest tax cuts in history. Failure to pass it would result in a 68% increase in tax burden and more severe consequences.
