Trump wrote tonight (Beijing Time, July 24th): "Everyone is saying that I will cancel part (or even all) of the huge subsidies that Musk has received from the US government, thus destroying his company. But this is not true! I hope that Musk and all the companies in our country can thrive, and even more so than ever before! The better they do, the better America will be, which benefits all of us. We are setting records every day, and I hope to keep it up!"
[Witty] Comments: Trump seems to be mending his relationship with Musk. It was Trump who previously said he would cancel Musk's government subsidies, and now it's also Trump who denies this statement. Trump's remarks seem to be an effort to ease the relationship, but in reality, it's just a posture adjustment for his own political interests. He knows Musk's influence and wants to gain support from related groups by easing relations with Musk. However, this unprincipled shift exposes his nature of political manipulation. American businesses need a stable, fair, and predictable policy environment, not "verbal promises" that change with the political winds. Trump and Musk can't go back to the past.
