President Donald Trump mentioned he’s “saddened” to look at Elon Musk “go fully off the rails” a day after his tech mogul former ally introduced the creation of a brand new political occasion following their public feud.

Trump continued on in his put up to denounce third events and Musk’s vested curiosity in electrical automobile (EV) mandates because the CEO of Tesla:
The one factor Third Events are good for is the creation of Full and Whole DISRUPTION & CHAOS, and we’ve sufficient of that with the Radical Left Democrats, who’ve misplaced their confidence and their minds! Republicans, then again, are a clean working “machine,” that simply handed the most important Invoice of its type within the Historical past of our Nation. It’s a Nice Invoice however, sadly for Elon, it eliminates the ridiculous Electrical Automobile (EV) Mandate, which might have compelled everybody to purchase an Electrical Automotive in a brief time period. I’ve been strongly against that from the very starting. Folks are actually allowed to purchase no matter they need — Gasoline Powered, Hybrids (that are doing very nicely), or New Applied sciences as they arrive about — No extra EV Mandate. I’ve campaigned on this for 2 years and, fairly actually, when Elon gave me his complete and unquestioned Endorsement, I requested him whether or not or not he knew that I used to be going to terminate the EV Mandate — It was in each speech I made, and in each dialog I had. He mentioned he had no issues with that — I used to be very stunned!

Moreover, Elon requested that one in every of his shut mates run NASA and, whereas I believed his buddy was superb, I used to be stunned to be taught that he was a blue blooded Democrat, who had by no means contributed to a Republican earlier than. Elon most likely was, additionally. I additionally thought it inappropriate {that a} very shut buddy of Elon, who was within the House Enterprise, run NASA, when NASA is such an enormous a part of Elon’s company life. My Quantity One cost is to guard the American Public!

“Jared Isaacman ought to have by no means been picked. Trump did the best factor by pulling him,” the official added.
