Trump's grievances about Elon Musk are scrutinized in detail:

I want to buy a lot, but I'm very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here. Better than you people. He knew everything about it. He had no problem with it. All of a sudden he had a problem. And he only developed the problem when he found out that we're going to have to cut the EV mandate." [00:14]
Jennifer and Angie interpret Trump's frustration with the Electric Vehicle (EV) mandate, suggesting that Musk felt aggrieved when the mandate was threatened:
