US President Donald Trump expressed his attitude toward technology, billionaire Elon Musk, emphasizing that he did not feel the true need for the character’s support or product, but attributed great importance to Musk’s personality.
Speaking of the cabinet meeting on April 10, 2025, where Musk’s presence, President Trump said, “I don’t need Elon, but I just like him. This guy did a great job.”
These words were spoken in the context of a discussion about economic initiatives, in which the director of Tesla and Spacex was invited as one of the main businesses that influenced the American industry.
Trump also talked about his unusual approach to supporting Musk. Consequently, buying Tesla’s car at the highest price not for personal use, but to express solidarity with this entrepreneur.
“I don’t need Tesla. Do you know what I do with it?” I left everyone in that passenger office, ”added the US president, emphasizing that the car became a reward for the White House.
According to observers, this gesture reflects more symbolic friendship than the true dependence on billionaire musk technology.

The relationship between Trump and Musk attracted public attention a long time ago. The technology billionaire is an enthusiastic defender in the presidential campaign in 2024, contributing more than $ 100 million to Trump’s fund through the X platform, helping the republican member to return to the White House.
However, the current statement of the US President shows the desire to separate from the opinion that Musk is a necessary ally, emphasizing personal empathy and not a strategic relationship.
At the meeting, billionaire Musk also thanked Trump for his positive comments and noted that his opinions on innovation and economic innovation were widely similar.
