أقر إيرول ماسك (والد الملياردير إيلون ماسك) بأن نجله أخطأ بتحديه العلني للرئيس الأمريكي دونالد ترمب. وعزا في تصريحات لوسائل إعلام روسية في موسكو سبب الخلاف بينهما إلى معاناة كل منهما من الضغوط.
وقال إيرول ماسك لصحيفة «إزفستيا» خلال زيارة للعاصمة الروسية: «كما تعلمون فقد تعرضا لضغط كبير طيلة خمسة أشهر، لنمنحهما استراحة، إنهما منهكان ومجهدان للغاية، لذا يمكن أن نتوقع شيئاً كهذا». وأكد أن «الغلبة ستكون لترمب، فهو الرئيس وقد انتُخب للمنصب. لذا، كما تعلمون، أعتقد أن إيلون ارتكب خطأ. لكنه متعب، ومتوتر». واعتبر إيرول ماسك أن الخلاف «مجرد شيء صغير وسينتهي غداً».
وبدأ ماسك وترمب تبادل الانتقادات الحادة الأسبوع الماضي عبر مواقع التواصل الاجتماعي، حين انتقد ماسك مشروع قانون قدمه ترمب لخفض الضرائب والإنفاق ووصفه بأنه «قبيح ومقزز».
وكان الرئيس الأمريكي أعلن السبت الماضي أن العلاقة مع رجل الأعمال الملياردير إيلوم ماسك، الذي تبرع لحملته الانتخابية، قد انتهت، وتوعد بأنه ستكون هناك «عواقب وخيمة» إذا موّل ماسك ديمقراطيين في مواجهة الجمهوريين الذين سيصوتون لصالح قانون ترمب الشامل لخفض الضرائب والإنفاق.
ومول ماسك جزءاً كبيراً من حملة ترمب الرئاسية عام 2024، وعُين مسؤولاً عن جهود لتقليص حجم القوى العاملة الاتحادية وخفض الإنفاق.
وقال مسؤولون في البيت الأبيض إن ترمب واصل تركيزه على أجندته التشريعية وخطط خفض الإنفاق، رغم أن المواجهة بينه وبين ماسك أصبحت محور اهتمام واشنطن.
وأفادت المتحدثة باسم البيت الأبيض كارولين ليفيت بأن الرئيس ترمب والإدارة بأكملها مهمتهم المتمثلة في القضاء على الهدر والاحتيال وإساءة استخدام الأموال في الحكومة الفيدرالية نيابةً عن دافعي الضرائب.. وتمرير مشروع القانون الكبير والجميل يمثل عاملاً حاسماً للمساعدة في تحقيق هذه المهمة.

Erol Musk (the father of billionaire Elon Musk) acknowledged that his son made a mistake by publicly challenging U.S. President Donald Trump. He attributed the reason for their dispute to both suffering from pressure, in statements to Russian media in Moscow.
“As you know, they have been under a lot of pressure for five months, so let’s give them a break. They are exhausted and extremely stressed, so we can expect something like this,” Erol Musk told the newspaper “Izvestia” during a visit to the Russian capital. He confirmed that “Trump will prevail, as he is the president and was elected to the position. So, you know, I think Elon made a mistake. But he is tired and stressed.” Erol Musk considered the disagreement to be “just a small thing and it will end tomorrow.”
Musk and Trump began exchanging sharp criticisms last week on social media when Musk criticized a bill proposed by Trump to cut taxes and spending, describing it as “ugly and disgusting.”
The U.S. president announced last Saturday that his relationship with billionaire businessman Elon Musk, who donated to his campaign, had ended, and warned that there would be “serious consequences” if Musk funded Democrats against Republicans who would support Trump’s comprehensive tax and spending cut bill.
Musk funded a large part of Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign and was appointed to lead efforts to reduce the size of the federal workforce and cut spending.
White House officials stated that Trump continued to focus on his legislative agenda and spending cut plans, even though the confrontation between him and Musk became a focal point of interest in Washington.
White House spokesperson Caroline Levitt reported that President Trump and the entire administration’s mission is to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse of funds in the federal government on behalf of taxpayers. Passing the big and beautiful bill is a critical factor in helping achieve this mission.
