Trump and Musk enter bitter FIGHT - and Washington buckles up

Don't Fight anymore It doesn't make any profit

A ZERO-SUM GAME

Donald Trump and Elon Musk, two of the world’s most powerful men, are now in a heated public fight. Trump warned he might cancel government deals and financial support that help Musk’s companies, like SpaceX and Tesla. Tesla’s stock fell 14% after Trump’s threats.

Musk fought back, suggesting Trump should be removed from office and hinting he had damaging details about Trump’s past ties to Jeffrey Epstein. He also briefly said he might stop running the Dragon spacecraft, which NASA depends on, but later changed his mind.

The argument began when Musk criticized Trump’s new tax and spending plan. Trump claimed Musk was only angry because the plan could harm Tesla. Musk replied that he doesn’t care about government aid and wants to lower the country’s debt.

The two were once allies, with Musk leading a Trump administration effort to cut government waste. But now, their relationship seems broken. Trump even used past tense, saying, "Elon and I **had** a great relationship."

Democrats are watching, not sure if they should side with Musk or stay neutral. The fight could hurt Trump politically, especially if Musk supports his rivals. With neither man willing to give in, this battle could drag on for a long time.
