President Donald Trump on Thursday denied claims that he wants to wreck Elon Musk’s companies and their work with the U.S. government.

“Everyone is stating that I will destroy Elon’s companies by taking away some, if not all, of the large scale subsidies he receives from the U.S. Government,” he said in a post to Truth Social. “This is not so! I want Elon, and all businesses within our Country, to THRIVE, in fact, THRIVE like never before!”

“The better they do, the better the USA does, and that’s good for all of us,” Trump wrote.

Trump’s response comes as the pair have continued a war of words that began with Musk’s opposition to the president’s signature spending bill, and evolved into the Tesla CEO attacking the president’s relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In June, the president threatened to cut some of Musk’s government contracts as the two clashed over the “Big Beautiful Bill” and their relationship unraveled.
