Bomb! Musk suddenly quits Trump administration, and the 2.4 billion bitcoin gamble is over before it ends?
Musk, the head of the efficiency department of the Trump administration, officially announced his resignation, and his 130-day political trial came to an end. This "breakup" that shook Washington hides four game codes:
1. Policy rift: 2.5 trillion deficit breaks through the reform promise
The "Beautiful Big Bill" pushed by Trump has caused the fiscal deficit to soar to 2.5 trillion US dollars in 2035, directly slapping Musk's military order of "cutting 2 trillion spending" (currently only 8% completed). Musk publicly complained that the bill was "completely contradictory" to the reform goals, while Trump avoided talking about his resignation. The two had zero communication throughout the process, and the bureaucratic system completed the procedures privately.
2. Business palace: The price of evaporating $448.3 billion in market value
Political distraction has caused Musk's business empire to flash a red light: Tesla's net profit plummeted 71%, the stock price evaporated $448.3 billion, and the board of directors was rumored to change the coach; SpaceX starship exploded three times, and the $1.2 billion order in the Middle East was suspended. Shareholders jointly asked him to "work 40 hours a week", and under heavy pressure, he has lived in the office to "pay off debts".
3. Reform runaway: 250,000 employee layoffs triggered a political earthquake
Musk's "Washington bulldozer" model closed multiple federal departments and laid off 250,000 employees. Although it saved $19 billion, it offended the military industry and medical lobbying groups. The Ministry of Agriculture's poor response to avian influenza was blamed on the reform team, and even Trump complained that "Congress lost 50 votes." The confrontation between the scientific and technological elite team and professional bureaucrats eventually fell behind due to lack of experience.
4. Political spare tire: the interest binding behind the golden key
Trump said goodbye on the surface, but actually gave the "special status" golden key to hint at staying as an advisor. Musk's X platform is still the core of his policy propaganda, and AI technology is a rigid need for reform. Coupled with the "strategic reserve" of $290 million in campaign funds for the 2028 election, this "breakup" is more like a stopgap measure for political hedging.
Conclusion: Musk took away the DOE's $1.5 billion subsidy and missile defense system contract, leaving behind a marginalized government efficiency department. When a tech geek tries to reconstruct the political machine, idealism ultimately loses to the reality game. Is this farce a wise exit or a speculative stop loss?
