President Donald Trump finally took questions on his stunning public feud with Elon Musk, after laying low for most of Friday – while repeating his threat to probe a litany of Musk contracts.
'We’ll take look at everything,' Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. 'It’s a lot of money.
He continued: 'It’s a lot of subsidy … so we’ll take a look… only if it’s fair… only if it’s to be fair for him and the country… '
The line on subsidy suggests Trump will continue to push to go after tax credits for electric cars such as the Musk-owned Tesla. That language features in the House-passed 'big, beautiful bill.
Following the outbreak of their feud, Trump and his allies have said Musk turned on the bill because it cuts the subsidies. Musk has said he doesn't need them anyway.
