Donald Trump didn't like Elon Musk jumping at his rally, asked 'why doesn't his shirt fit', claims new book

Michael Wolff's new book claims Donald Trump was unimpressed by Elon Musk at the Butler rally and was startled as Elon Musk was jumping on the stage. 'Disgraced' author Wolff claimed at that time Elon Musk was not interested in engaging with JD Vance, then Donald Trump's running mate and now the Vice President.
Donald Trump didn't like Elon Musk jumping at his rally, asked 'why doesn't his shirt fit', claims new book
Elon Musk joined Donald Trump for the first time at a rally in Butler where the Tesla CEO was seen jumping on the stage.
Michael Wolff, the author hated by Donald Trump's aides, has claimed in his new book that when Elon Musk made the first appearance at a Trump rally during the campaigning in Butler Pennsylvania where he jumped and jumped, Donald Trump did not like it at all. "What the f**k is wrong with this guy?" Donald Trump said and also threw shade on the fact that as he was jumping, his waistline got exposed. "And why doesn't his shirt fit?" he apparently said as Michael Wolff revealed in All or Nothing: How Trump Recaptured America.
The Daily Beast reported from the book that at that time Elon Musk had no liking for JD Vance, then Trump's running mate and now the vice president. Musk was “wandering about by himself, with only a thin layer of assistants or security” and was hungry so “someone produces a bag of pretzel sticks,” Wolff wrote. Elon was asked if he would like to meet Vance but he said, "I've really no interest in speaking to a vice president".
The tables have now turned though and Elon Musk reposts most of Vance's X posts endorsing them and vice versa.
When the Democratic Party was in talks of replacing former president Joe Biden as the presidential candidate, Wolff wrote that Trump thought Michelle Obama would be the next. “They think she looks pretty manly. Those very big shoulders. What’s that about? That’s what people will call her if she runs, ‘Mike.’ That’s the name she’ll have: ‘Mike.’” Trump apparently said this to his aides without taking Michelle Obama's name, Wolff wrote.
But Wolff's words have always been dismissed by Trump's aides and termed as fiction. White House communications director Steven Cheung told the Daily Beast, "Michael Wolff is a lying sack of s**t and has been proven to be a fraud. He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain.”
