The violent rest between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, until now near the allies, could lead to strong political and economic consequences. “We went from astonishment to amazement,” he reacted this Friday night, former European commissioner Thierry Breton at the BFMTV set. “Contrary to what we said, Donald Trump was not absolutely not prepared, with his surroundings, for this second term,” he said.
“Donald Trump only meets Elon Musk for a few months,” said former European Commissioner of the domestic market, evoking an “American presidential turn” when the chief of Tesla and Spacex got up with Donald Trump in the summer of 2024. Elon Musk put “available for Donald Trump his network, his influence, his money.” The rest between the two allies is “a completely new moment today in the United States”, but “we will have others,” Thierry Breton continued.
“There will be others”
“The message for us, the Europeans, is that we must […] Continue working in Europe Power […] Who is heard, whatever the whims of American politics, and there will be others, “said the former European commissioner, asking” strong “in” negotiations […] Let’s be taxes, “evoking customs surcharges imposed by the Trump administration.
During a press conference of the European Commission this Friday, his spokesman Paula Pinho smiled, declaring that Elon Musk was the “very welcome” in Europe. His colleague Thomas Régnier kissed more seriously by emphasizing that “all” was “welcome to start” his activity “and settled inside the EU.”
“Europe is an open continent, business leaders are welcome, from the moment they respect our rules,” said Thierry Breton. “These rules make you not make a factory anyway in Europe, there is no systemic social network, which does not have more than 45 million users,” he said about Elon Musk.
