川普過去發過推，說是因為他，馬斯克才成功：
“When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless, and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, ‘drop to your knees and beg,’ and he would have done it,” Trump said.
“當埃隆•馬斯克 (Elon Musk) 來到白宮向我尋求幫助，幫助解決他的許多補貼項目時，無論是行駛時間不夠長的電動汽車、會墜毀的無人駕駛汽車，還是無處可去的火箭飛船，如果沒有這些補貼，他就會毫無價值，並告訴我他是川普的忠實粉絲和共和黨人，我本可以說，‘跪下來乞求吧’，他會這麽做的，”特朗普說。
Donald Trump secretly sent Vladimir Putin rare Covid tests in 2020 and has spoken to the Russian leader as many as seven times since leaving office, Bob Woodward’s new book says.
