The Tesla founder was a huge part of the POTUS' election campaign last year, with Musk even claiming Trump wouldn't have beaten Kamala Harris to the White House had he not been involved.
Trump recruited the SpaceX founder to help lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which was tasked with slashing unnecessary government spending.
However, Musk left the role in recent weeks after slamming Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' as an 'abomination' and accused the proposed legislation of undoing all the work he did at DOGE.
Dismissing that suggestion, Trump said he was 'disappointed' in the tech mogul and insisted that Musk knew the ins and outs of the bill before he left the government.
Musk later took to Twitter, alleging that the president is named in the Jeffrey Epstein files in since-deleted tweets, which led to the White House stating the attack was an 'unfortunate episode from Elon'. However, he admitted to 'regretting' some of the posts, revealing 'they went too far'.
After seemingly being on the down-low for a few weeks, Musk took to Twitter to discuss politics on Saturday (June 28), which marked his 54th birthday.
He expressed his anger at Trump's proposed bill ahead of a critical vote that will determine whether it comes to fruition.
"The latest Senate draft bill will destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!" Musk wrote.
"Utterly insane and destructive. It gives handouts to industries of the past while severely damaging industries of the future."
Musk then added in a follow-up post: "Polls show that this bill is political suicide for the Republican Party."
Meanwhile, the Senate moved 51-49 to open debate on the bill - a move Trump called a 'great victory'.
While Musk and Trump have been involved in a very public spat as of late, the POTUS insisted there were 'no hard feelings' between the pair.
"I guess I could [patch things up with him] but we have to straighten out the country. And my sole function now is getting this country back to a level higher than it’s ever been. And I think we can do that," Trump said on the Pod Force One podcast with New York Post columnist Miranda Devine earlier this month.
When asked previously whether he believed the relationship was over, the president told press in the Oval Office: "I would assume so, yeah. I’m too busy doing other things."
Amid the continued criticism from Musk, however, it's hard to see a way back for these former 'best buddies'.
