I was very sad after hearing this ad. Can everyone comfort me?

US President Donald Trump said he really didn’t need billionaire Elon Musk in his government.

“Elon did very well. Look, he was sitting here and I didn’t care. I don’t need Elon for anything, but I like him,” Trump told the reporter at a White House cabinet meeting.

President Trump revealed that he bought a recent Tesla as a way to show his support to Musk.

“I don’t need his car. I actually bought one and they asked if he received a discount?

Buying a car took place at a White House event last month, where Trump saw Tesla Red Model S with Musk.

“He did very well, but was not treated fairly,” Trump added.

At the meeting, Musk smiled and nodded in Trump’s comments.

Mr. Musk is leading the White House Government Performance Department, responsible for cutting federal spending. Doge dismissed thousands of federal officials and has stopped giving many foreign aid programs.

At the meeting, Musk announced that Doge would cut almost $ 150 billion in spending on the yearfinancial2026.

However, these strong cutting measures also affect the commercial benefits of Musk. Tesla’s showrooms in the United States were the target of protesters, and some car owners said their cars were destroyed.

“If you read the news, it looked like the end of the world. I couldn’t go through TV without watching the image of Tesla on fire. What was going on?” Musk told Tesla’s team at a plenary meeting last month.

“I understand if people don’t want to buy our products. But there is no need to burn. That’s too much,” he added.

Musk is one of Trump’s greatest supporters in the campaign. Tesla and Spacex CEO spent at least $ 277 million to support Trump and other republican candidates in last year’s elections.

However, the two men also have disagreements, according to the American media. The source said Musk didn’t seem to agree with Trump’s tariff policy.

On April 3, Trump said he expects Musk to leave the government “in the coming months,” but expects this billionaire entrepreneur to remain “as long as possible.”

Currently, Musk works for the government as a special government official. According to federal law, these formats should not work more than 130 days in a year.

“Elon Musk and President Trump have publicly declared that Elon will leave the official position when he completes his excellent work in Doge,” wrote White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on April 2.
