#特朗普马斯克分歧 The differences between Trump and Musk mainly manifest in the following aspects:
• Policy: The massive tax and spending bill proposed by the Trump administration, known as the "Big and Beautiful" bill, plans to cut taxes, Medicaid, food assistance, education, and clean energy spending, reallocating those funds for military and border security, while raising the debt ceiling. Musk strongly opposes this bill, arguing that it would create a significant fiscal gap, undermine the work of the "Department of Efficiency," and burden American citizens with an unsustainable debt load. Additionally, Trump initiated a "tariff war" globally, increasing import tariffs in the U.S., which Musk opposed as it rapidly increased costs for globally positioned companies like Tesla, harming their interests.
• Position: Musk previously served as the head of the "Department of Efficiency" and attempted to continue in this role after a 130-day special government employee term, but was denied. Moreover, when Musk's "Department of Efficiency" conducted audits on various departments of the Trump administration, it faced resistance from some departments, and department heads clashed with Musk.
• Personnel: Musk recommended his friend Isaacman to be the head of NASA to Trump, who initially agreed but later withdrew the nomination.
These differences ultimately led to a breakdown in their relationship, culminating in a public feud on social media.
