Former President Donald Trump slammed Elon Musk as a “bulls*** artist” during his Alaska rally Saturday.
While stumping for former Gov. Sarah Palin as she seeks her home state’s lone congressional seat, the former president touted his Truth Social platform and noted that he had predicted Musk would not follow through on his bid to take over Twitter.
“Elon is not going to buy Twitter,” Trump said. “Where did you hear that before? From me.”

“He’s got himself a mess,” Trump added. “You know he said the other day, ‘Oh, I’ve never voted for a Republican.’ I said, ‘I didn’t know that. He told me he voted for me.’ So, he’s another bull***t artist.”

In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Musk gave notice Friday that he is seeking to terminate his $44 billion deal to acquire Twitter, accusing the social media platform of misrepresenting the number of spam bots on its platform. Twitter says it will pursue legal action to enforce the merger agreement.
Musk has been critical of the Biden administration and Democratic leadership of late. On Friday, the Tesla CEO mocked President Joe Biden’s latest microphone mishap, likening it to a scene from Anchorman.
