Elon Musk Fires Back at Trump’s Electric Car Criticism in Social Media Clash

Elon Musk publicly dismissed former President Donald Trump’s recent social media remarks, branding them as “an obvious lie” and “pathetic.” This exchange follows Trump’s earlier tweet where he criticized Musk, stating that Musk “bores me” and referenced canceling a mandate requiring the purchase of electric vehicles, which he claimed Musk was aware of in advance. The interaction highlights ongoing tensions between prominent figures in the tech and political arenas, underscoring the volatile nature of public discourse surrounding innovation and policy. Market participants and industry observers should monitor such developments, as they can indirectly influence investor sentiment and the broader perception of the electric vehicle and technology sectors.
