Do you regret supporting Trump? Musk responded
In recent times, Musk's position and role in the Trump administration have attracted much attention. US media reported that Musk had a dispute with senior Trump administration officials, such as his "black quarrel" with Treasury Secretary Becent outside the president's office, and his call Trump's trade adviser Navarro a "idiot" on social media.
Musk publicly stated in late April that he would "significantly" reduce the time to manage the government's efficiency ministry starting from May and "dedicate more time to Tesla." The Financial Times reported that Musk does not work in an office near the White House in most cases, but rather commands the government's Ministry of Efficiency remotely. According to the Washington Post, Musk began to be "tired of" politics.
Musk was interviewed by Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump a few days ago. When asked whether he felt "regret" about his support for Trump, he blurted out: "Yes." However, Musk immediately changed his words with a smile and said "no" and asked "this episode will not be broadcast."
Will Star Wars: Star Fighter be subject to tariffs?
On May 4, Trump posted on social media "Real Social" that the US film industry is "declining rapidly" and other countries are "attracting American film producers and studios from the United States" through various incentives. Trump said Hollywood was “hardly hit” as a result, which posed a “national security threat” to the United States.
Trump said he would authorize the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Trade Representative to immediately initiate the process and impose 100% tariffs on all films entering the United States and produced abroad.
"Star Wars: Star Fighter" will start filming in the UK this year and is expected to be released in 2027. Some netizens asked: "According to Trump's movie tariff policy, this movie will be regarded as a foreign-made movie with tariffs, right?" (Reporter: Huayi)
