Title: Trump asked if he’ll reopen probes against Musk’s companies amid their feud, he replies
The ongoing feud between US President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk has taken a new turn, with a reporter asking the President if he plans to reopen investigations against Musk’s companies. The question came as the US Communications Regulatory Commission (FCC) is reviewing SpaceX’s spectrum sharing regime, while the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is probing Tesla’s full self-driving collisions.
In a recent interview, a reporter asked President Trump if he would reopen investigations against Musk’s companies, given their ongoing feud. Trump’s response was surprisingly straightforward: “I didn’t know they had any [investigations]. If they had, then I’d just let them speak for themselves.”
It’s worth noting that Trump and Musk have been at odds for some time now. The President has been openly critical of Musk’s companies, including Tesla and SpaceX, on several occasions. Musk, on the other hand, has been vocal about his disagreements with Trump’s policies, particularly when it comes to climate change and environmental issues.
The FCC’s review of SpaceX’s spectrum sharing regime is a significant development in this ongoing feud. SpaceX, which is a subsidiary of Musk’s holding company, SpaceX, has been accused of violating FCC regulations by sharing its spectrum with other companies without permission. The investigation is still ongoing, but it’s clear that the FCC is taking the allegations seriously.
The NHTSA probe into Tesla’s full self-driving collisions is also a major concern. Tesla has been criticized for its Autopilot system, which has been involved in several accidents in recent years. The NHTSA is investigating whether the system was properly designed and tested, and whether Tesla did enough to warn drivers about the potential dangers of the technology.
In light of these investigations, it’s clear that President Trump has a lot to answer for. By allowing the investigations to continue, he’s sending a clear message that he’s not afraid to take on Musk’s companies, even if it means facing backlash from the billionaire himself.
But Trump’s response also raises questions about his motivations for reopening the investigations. Is he genuinely interested in getting to the bottom of these issues, or is he just trying to score political points by taking on a high-profile target like Musk?
One thing is certain: the feud between Trump and Musk is far from over. As the investigations continue, we can expect more drama and controversy to unfold.
