ingratitude

Musk claimed on Thursday that the president won the election because of him, and complained about "ingratitude".

Musk’s very public response on his social media platform X included accusing Trump of “ingratitude” and claiming that his name appeared in the so-called “Epstein files.”

On Thursday, Musk complained that Trump was showing "ingratitude," claiming Trump would have lost the election without his support.

In response, Musk doubled down on X and accused the president of "Such ingratitude", adding: "Without me, Trump would have lost the election".

Standing up for yourself is portrayed as whining or ingratitude, and rejecting convention comes at a cost.
