Trump and Musk had an odd relationship. Musk became like Trump's shadow for months. Now that his stint with Doge has ended, he is acting like a vindictive abandoned lover.

I don't think he cared about the EV tax credits. He said as much a couple of months ago, but that was before the Tesla backlash. He wasn't happy when one of his BFF's, Jared Isaacman, was taken out of the running for the head of NASA because of donations to Democrats, but still, none of that is a reason for Musk to be so vindictive towards Trump.

Maybe Musk had great expectations that his Doge effort would change everything immediately. Its going to take time. He was able to do a lot of stuff real time, but the cost savings couldn't be included in the "big beautiful bill". Instead they have to be introduced through recission and reconciliation in new legislation. The Senate has complicated rules.

I think its pretty sad if their relationship ends this way. It looks like a blood feud where Musk is challenging Trump's power as the president. Trump would've gotten elected without Musk's help, but he certainly helped a lot. I thought he did it to help the country as opposed to some kind of scheme.
