Trump and Musk Engage in War of Words Over EV Mandate

US President Donald Trump expressed amazement at Elon Musk’s endorsement during his election campaign despite his stance on demolishing the electric vehicle mandate. The row began when Mr Trump signed a bill blocking California’s ban on new gas-powered cars by 2035, which was later met with criticism from Musk. In response to the controversy, Mr Musk apologized for his insults and called for President Trump’s impeachment. The situation escalated further when Mr Trump accused him of being involved in the Epstein files.
