President Trump is making headlines for his explosive split with billionaire Elon Musk, once seen as a key ally. The feud escalated rapidly this week with personal insults, policy threats, and a potential Tesla fire sale shaking Wall Street.
Trump bluntly told reporters Musk has “lost his mind” after the SpaceX CEO criticized his tax policies. The President’s team confirmed he’s refusing to take Musk’s calls, calling the billionaire “unstable.” This dramatic falling out comes just months after Trump proudly showed off his new Tesla at the White House.
The White House is now threatening to pull billions in government contracts from Musk’s companies. Trump called SpaceX and Tesla subsidies “wasteful spending” on Truth Social, vowing to slash what he called “Elon’s taxpayer handouts.” Musk fired back by threatening to halt NASA’s moon missions if funding gets cut.
In a symbolic slap, Trump’s team revealed he’s considering selling his personal Tesla. A source said the President doesn’t want “a single dime going to Musk’s woke companies.” This move would erase the high-profile endorsement Trump gave Tesla during their friendship earlier this year.
Tesla’s stock plummeted 14% as investors panicked over the feud. Analysts say Musk’s temper could cost shareholders $150 billion if the rift continues. Meanwhile, SpaceX employees reportedly fear layoffs as Washington reconsiders lunar contracts.
Conservatives are praising Trump for standing up to “coastal elitists” like Musk. Talk radio hosts claim this proves Trump won’t let billionaire donors push him around. Many Republicans see Musk’s criticism as proof Big Tech opposes America-first policies.
MAGA loyalists argue this fight shows Trump keeping his promises. “Real leaders don’t care about making friends with Silicon Valley snowflakes,” said one Trump supporter outside Mar-a-Lago. Others note Musk’s companies benefited massively from Trump-era deregulation.
The White House insists this isn’t personal – it’s about protecting taxpayers. But insiders say Trump’s patience wore thin after Musk attacked his signature tax cuts. With both men digging in, this billionaire vs. President showdown could reshape America’s tech and space industries.
