United States President, Donald Trump has revealed that Tech billionaire Elon Musk has never asked him for a favour or anything.
Trump said this in the Oval Office on Wednesday when asked by a reporter if Musk is advising him on auto tariffs.
“No, because he may have a conflict, so we don’t talk. I have never talked to him. Elon’s amazing,” Trump responded.
“He’s never asked me for a favour in business whatsoever. I’m a little surprised by it. I might do it, I might not do it.
“I do what’s right, and he’d want me to do what’s right. No, he is a patriot.
“He has never, you know, these are big deals we’re talking about.
“This is probably nothing like this, and I have never had Elon come and say, Would you do me a favor with a mandate or the electric mandate or anything? He’s never asked me for anything.”
Trump’s latest automobile tariffs are expected to take effect on April 2, 2025.
Despite the eternal outrage, American workers and Democrats have backed Trump’s auto tariffs.
