When attacking the SpaceX founder over his previous comments about him, the former president shows his support behind Twitter’s efforts to sue the business magnate.
AceShowbiz –Donald Trump refused to be criticized by Elon Musk. After the SpaceX founder told him to “sail into the sunset” in a recent tweet, the former president fiercely hit back at the business magnate.
The 76-year-old offered his clapback on his alternative social media platform Truth Social. “When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless,” he first argued.
“And telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, ‘drop to your knees and beg,’ ” Trump added in the Tuesday night, July 12 post. “And he would have done it…”
Trump went on to note, “…Now Elon should focus on getting himself out of the Twitter mess because he could owe $44 billion for something that’s perhaps worthless. Also, lots of competition for electric cars!” He continued, “Why was Elon allowed to break the $15 million stock purchase barrier on Twitter without any reporting? That is a very serious breach! Have fun Elon and [Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey], go to it!”
The posts arrived after Elon dissed Trump on Twitter. “I don’t hate the man, but it’s time for Trump to hang up his hat & sail into the sunset,” he wrote in response to a report on the former president calling him “another bulls**t artist” at a rally in Alaska. “Dems should also call off the attack – don’t make it so that Trump’s only way to survive is to regain the Presidency.”
Musk is currently facing legal trouble after Twitter officially filed a lawsuit against him for calling off his $44 billion deal to buy the social media platform. Filed in Delaware’s Court of Chancery, the lawsuit accuses the world’s richest person of hypocrisy and bad faith in violating his contract with Twitter.
