Trump & Elon: Billions, AI, and a Fragile Truce 🤖🚀
In a surprise statement Thursday, Donald Trump confirmed he won’t cut federal funding to Elon Musk’s ventures — despite rising tensions between the two titans.
💬 On Truth Social, Trump wrote:
> “I want Elon, and all businesses within our Country, to THRIVE… The better they do, the better the USA does.”
This follows speculation that Trump might pull the plug, especially after xAI landed a $200M Pentagon contract to expand military AI capabilities.

⚔️ From Mutual Praise to Political Fire
Just days ago, Elon slammed Trump’s proposed “One Big Beautiful Bill” as a “disgusting abomination.”
Trump clapped back, accusing Musk of benefiting from more federal dollars than any businessman in history — even joking:
> “No more rockets, no more EVs… send him back to South Africa?” 🚫
Elon later apologized, admitting he “went too far.” But Trump’s tone remains frosty, despite claiming there are “no hard feelings.”

🏛️ Washington Sends Mixed Signals
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt hinted that Trump might not fully back Elon’s AI ambitions. She noted that DOJ contracts with xAI’s chatbot "Grok" could be reviewed, casting doubt on the durability of those federal ties.
Meanwhile, rivals like Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic have also secured similar $200M Pentagon deals — but only Musk is under the microscope. 👀

🧠 The Bigger Picture:
Musk’s empire spans Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, and xAI
Trump’s stance remains volatile and unpredictable
Billions in federal contracts may hinge more on politics than performance
💣 One tweet could shift the landscape — fast.
Will Elon weather the storm, or is a strategic cut looming?

Trump & Elon: Billions, AI, and a Tense Truce 🤖🚀
In a surprising turn, Donald Trump clarified on Thursday that he has no intention of halting federal subsidies to Elon Musk — despite growing friction between the two power figures.
💬 Posting on Truth Social, Trump wrote:
“I want Elon, and all businesses within our Country, to THRIVE… The better they do, the better the USA does.”
This came after intense speculation that Trump would pull funding from Elon’s ventures, especially following xAI’s $200M defense contract, granted just weeks ago to help expand Pentagon AI capabilities.
⚔️ From Praise to Political Crossfire
Elon recently criticized Trump’s proposed “One Big Beautiful Bill,” calling it a “disgusting abomination.” Trump fired back with accusations that Musk receives more government money than any other businessman in history, even joking:
“No more rockets, no more EVs… send him back to South Africa?” 🚫
Elon later apologized, admitting he “went too far,” but the damage was done. Though Trump says there are “no hard feelings,” his posts suggest otherwise.
🏛️ Washington’s Position Is Still Wobbly
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt added fuel by suggesting Trump may not fully back Elon’s AI firm, xAI. She hinted that DOJ contracts involving “Grok” (xAI’s chatbot) could be reconsidered — a signal that Elon’s federal ties aren’t bulletproof.
Meanwhile, competitors like Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic also signed $200M Pentagon deals — but only Elon is under this kind of spotlight. 👀
🧠 Big Picture:
Musk's empire spans Tesla, SpaceX, StarLink, and now xAI.
Trump’s support is uncertain and volatile.
Billions in federal tech deals may depend on politics, not performance.
Will Elon navigate this storm or face a strategic cut?
📉 One tweet could change everything.
