The US president has focused on the draft budget he plans to approve before Friday on his new attack on his former ally, which, according to Musk, would increase America's debt.

In his message, Trump has warned Musk that if the subsidies run out, "rocket and satellite launches, as well as the production of electric cars, would end, and our country would save a fortune."

"Elon Musk knew, long before he helped me as president, that I had a position against electric vehicles. It's funny, and it's always been an important part of my campaign. Electric cars are fine, but not everyone should be forced to be one, "Trump said.
