Carl Icahn does not like Hillary Clinton's ideas for American business.

The hedge fund billionaire took to Twitter to express his dissatisfaction with the Democratic presidential nominee's economic proposals.

After reiterating his support for Republican nominee Donald Trump on Tuesday after Trump's speech in Detroit outlining his economic plan, Icahn tweeted his disapproval of Clinton's economic speech, also in Detroit.

"Hillary's speech was a mishmash of contradictions," Icahn wrote.

He also criticized Clinton for her plans to increase environmental and other business regulations, which he called "strangulating."

Icahn expressed his support for Trump earlier in the week despite Trump's recent "blow up" (as Icahn described it) involving the parents of a slain Muslim US soldier.

"He's a smart guy and I think he understands the mistakes he's made," Icahn said on Tuesday.
