Elon Musk has hit back against former President Donald Trump after the latter turned the heat on the Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) CEO over the weekend.
Quote tweeting a video of Trump's speech, wherein he called Musk a bulls**t artist — the world's richest person said it's time for the former president to hang up his hat and "sail into the sunset."
At the same time, Musk said that he doesn't hate Trump. When probed further on this by a Twitter follower, Musk rationalized that Trump would be 82 at the end of the term if he is elected as president in the 2024 polls. The age, according to Musk, would be too old to lead the United States.
Trump would be 82 at end of term, which is too old to be chief executive of anything, let alone the United States of America.
