'Very disappointed' and 'such ingratitude': How Trump-Musk feud played out

Tensions between US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk reached a breaking point on Thursday after both exchanged insults, mostly on social media.

During an Oval Office meeting with the Chancellor of Germany, Trump expressed his disappointment with Musk's opposition to his spending bill, adding he would rather have Musk criticise him than the bill because the "bill is incredible".

Musk began attacking the president on X, at one point saying that without him, "Trump would have lost the election."

The fall out comes just days after Musk's departure from the Trump administration as a special government employee.
