#TrumpVsMusk
1. Public Feud Escalates Over Policy and Personal Attacks**
- The conflict began with Musk criticizing Trump’s **"One Big Beautiful Bill"**, a tax-and-spending package projected to add trillions to the U.S. debt. Musk called it a **"disgusting abomination"** and urged Congress to **"KILL the BILL"**, citing wasteful spending .
- Trump retaliated by threatening to **cut government contracts and subsidies** for Musk’s companies (Tesla, SpaceX), worth **$38 billion**, accusing Musk of opposing the bill due to cuts in **electric vehicle (EV) tax credits** .
**2. Musk’s Retaliation: Impeachment Calls and Epstein Allegations**
- Musk endorsed a post calling for Trump’s **impeachment** and suggested replacing him with VP **JD Vance** .
- He dropped a bombshell claim that **Trump is "in the Epstein files"**, implying suppressed evidence related to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking case. Musk provided no proof, and the White House dismissed it as a reaction to the bill dispute .
**3. Market Fallout and SpaceX Threats**
- **Tesla’s stock plummeted 14%** in a single day, erasing **$150 billion** in market value .
- Musk initially threatened to **decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft** (critical for NASA’s ISS missions) but later backtracked after public pressure .
*4. Political Repercussions**
- Musk polled his followers about creating a **new political party** for the "80% in the middle," signaling a break from the GOP .
- Trump allies, like **Steve Bannon**, suggested investigating Musk’s immigration status and even **deporting him** (Musk is a naturalized U.S. citizen) . #Dogecoin
