United States President, Donald Trump has opened up that Tech billionaire Elon Musk has never asked him for a favour or anything.
Trump made the claim 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 actually 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 from April 2, 2025.
