Trump says relationship with Musk changed after electric vehicle mandate plans

President Donald Trump claimed that his relationship with Elon Musk has changed after he talked about his plans to eliminate the authorization of optional vehicles.

During the signing of legislation to cancel the California electric car authorization on Thursday, Trump explained to media members that he was surprised by Musk, whom he referred to as “a friend”, who did not raise his concerns with Trump’s plan to cancel the state.

Trump said he was surprised by his construction because he was in preventing countries from gradually getting rid of gasoline vehicles. Three decisions of congress signed on Thursday on the California plan to end the sale of gasoline vehicles only by 2035.

Trump has ended a concession issued by the Environmental Protection Agency dating back to the Biden era, which imposed at least 80 % of cars at least of California electric cars by 2035, a decision that ends the approval of EPA in the Biden era on a plan to increase the number of heavy trucks for zero emissions in California and the other on low nitrogen oxide areas in California.
