Trump Responds to 'Century Feud' with Musk: The Relationship Has Never Been Better!
A 'century feud' that shook both the political and business worlds of America has caused a huge stir. On June 5, local time, Elon Musk, head of Tesla and SpaceX, and U.S. President Trump, publicly fell out, exchanging fierce words and attacking each other with terms like 'disappointment, crazy, impeachment,' etc.
This feud stemmed from Trump's tax reform bill. Musk believes that the bill will lead America towards bankruptcy and increase the deficit. Coupled with Trump's cancellation of the electric vehicle 'mandate' and the withdrawal of Musk-supported NASA director candidate, a series of contradictions intertwined, ultimately leading to conflict.
Trump was the first to express disappointment in Musk, while Musk opened fire, criticizing the bill and even dredging up old stories to mock Trump, and even initiated a vote to create a new political party.
Trump retaliated strongly, threatening to terminate Musk's government subsidies and contracts, while Musk dropped a 'bombshell,' implying that unpublicized documents in the Epstein case involve Trump, and also called for Trump's impeachment, supporting Vance as a replacement.
This feud triggered severe fluctuations in the financial market, with Tesla's market value evaporating by $150 billion in a single day, dragging down the U.S. stock market, and a sell-off wave emerged in the cryptocurrency market, with Ethereum plummeting over 8% and Bitcoin crashing by $3,000.
The White House held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures, with predictive platforms estimating that the likelihood of Trump's impeachment has soared to 49%. Some even called for Musk's expulsion, but the Senate indicated that the tax bill process would not be affected.
However, a dramatic twist occurred, as reported by U.S. political news outlet Politico on Thursday.
When asked about the public fallout with Musk, Trump took a relaxed stance, saying, 'Oh, it's fine.' He also stated, 'Things are going very smoothly, never been better.' It turns out that White House aides have arranged for the two to talk on Friday, aiming to promote reconciliation.
Previously, some allies and aides had also attempted to ease tensions. American billionaire and hedge fund manager Bill Ackman posted on social media platform X, calling for the two to reconcile, to which Musk responded in agreement.
On the advice of White House aides, Trump also began posting on the social platform 'Truth Social' to soften his rhetoric. This dispute between political and business giants seems to show signs of easing, but how it will develop in the future remains a focus of attention from all sectors.
