$BTC Trump's public break with Musk may lead to the following developments:
Short-term market turbulence intensifies
Tesla's stock price has already plummeted by 14% in a single day, with a market value evaporating by over $150 billion. If the conflict persists, SpaceX's government contracts (which account for 30% of its revenue) may face termination risks, further impacting Musk's business empire.
Policy games and retaliatory actions
Trump may exert pressure through subsidy cuts and tariff policies (such as increased tariffs on China harming Tesla's Shanghai factory); Musk may accelerate the retirement of the Dragon spacecraft, threatening the U.S. space program.
Political landscape restructuring
Musk initiated a poll for a 'third party' to aim at fracturing the Republican power; if he shifts towards the Democratic Party, it may weaken Trump's advantage in the 2026 midterm elections.
Potential easing and compromise
Both sides have interdependent interests (such as SpaceX contracts being irreplaceable for NASA), and they may mediate through intermediaries, but their relationship is unlikely to return to the honeymoon phase.
In the long run, this conflict exposes deep-seated contradictions between American politics and capital, exacerbating social divisions, while Musk's technological ambitions (such as Optimus robots and Dojo supercomputers) may become chips in his fight against political risks.
