The previously tight relationship of Musk and Trump fell with the stems in May, while Trump promoted the adoption of his great and magnificent bill. Musk was the public chief of the Ministry of Efficiency of the Government, who strives to strip the federal government of excessive expenditure, corruption and mismanagement, as an employee of the special government – a position which allows an individual to work for the federal government for “no more than 130 days in a period of 365 days”.

Musk’s mandate was dry at the end of May and was quickly followed by the technological billionaire behind massive companies such as SpaceX and Tesla launching a campaign on X in order to rally republican legislators to vote against legislation, slamming it to increase the 5 billion US debt ceiling.

On June 12, Trump signed a trio of Congress resolutions ending California’s restrictive rules for diesel engines and sales of electric vehicles, Trump celebrating that his signature “will kill California mandates forever”.

“But clearly, (Musk) has become unhappy in a very short time,” said Johnson. “I mean, he generally knew what we were doing, and we talked about it. I mean, he knew for months, several months we worked on this, and I kept him informed of that.”

“But I’m going to let others judge that,” he added. “I have to keep my eyes on the price and continue to move forward, and I try to be a peacemaker in all of this.”
