Trump makes a bold move that betrays both Gavin Newsom and Elon Musk.

Trump approved a resolution that prevented California’s 2035 ban on the sale of new gas-powered vehicles, which Newsom had backed and which may have helped Musk’s Tesla. During his lengthy address, which featured some of Trump’s best-known songs, the president expressed his distaste for windmills, sharks, and battery-powered boats during the signing ceremony. Unprompted, he also mentioned his disagreement with Musk from a week earlier. Trump said he stopped the ‘Green New Scam’ and eliminated the federal mandate for electric vehicles on his first day in office. “Now we understand why Elon dislikes me so much,” Trump remarked. “He does, in fact, do that.”

Given that he intended to repeal the EV mandates from the Biden administration, the president stated he thought it was “very interesting” that the millionaire CEO of Tesla backed him in the 2024 election. And Elon continued to support me. To be honest, he never discussed that with me. Additionally, Trump remarked, “I used to say that I’m amazed that he’s endorsing me because it can’t be good for him.” During a signing ceremony, President Donald Trump unpromptedly brought up his dispute with Elon Musk, saying that the billionaire “got a little bit strange.” This irritated both the Tesla CEO and California Governor Gavin Newsom, with whom he has been at odds.

As Musk put it, “well, as long as it’s happening to everybody, I’ll be able to compete,” the president stated. According to Trump, this was “a very honest answer.” The president acknowledged that he became somewhat odd after that. Following the SpaceX CEO’s criticism of the Republicans’ ‘big beautiful bill,’ which the DOGE leader said ruined his attempts to reduce federal costs, Trump and Musk were hurling bombs at one another last Thursday. It became so hot that Musk rashly asserted that Trump should be impeached and replaced by Vice President J.D. Vance, who is 40 years old, because he was found in the files of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Since then, tensions have subsided as Trump has been occupied with targeting Democrat Newsom, a real electoral foe, amid protests in downtown Los Angeles over the president’s “mass deportation” strategy. Trump nicknamed Newsom “Newscum” and “Gov. Gavin” during the president’s almost one and a half-hour visit to the East Room, which escalated into a full-fledged press conference. “Under the previous administration, the federal government granted dictatorial powers to left-wing radicals in California to control the future of the entire automobile industry throughout the nation and the world,” Trump said. The president went on, “They approved Gov. Gavin Newscum’s ridiculous plan to impose a total ban on all new gas-powered cars within a very short period of time.”

Consider this: California experiences brownouts and blackouts, and you can only purchase electric vehicles. Right now, they don’t have adequate electricity,” Trump continued. He referred to the policy as “ridiculous” before continuing with this week’s drama, in which Trump and Newsom were at odds over the president’s choice to federalize the National Guard and send them to put a stop to the rallies in Los Angeles against the governor’s desires. They are now engaged in a legal dispute. Right now, Los Angeles would be on fire. Trump raged, “Be burning just like his damn houses burned down.”
