Binance Post: The $150 Billion Feud That Shook the Markets
Trump vs Musk: When Power Clashes, Markets Bleed
In just 48 hours, the Trump–Musk alliance shattered—and with it, $150 billion in market value vanished. What began as a political bromance has turned into one of the most explosive public feuds in recent memory. But this isn't just drama—it's a high-stakes power play for America’s future.
Just weeks ago, Elon Musk was Trump’s biggest backer—allegedly spending $300M to secure his return to the White House. In return, Trump gave Musk a ceremonial key and let him co-lead the new Department of Government Efficiency.
Then came the trigger: Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” The proposed legislation would balloon the U.S. debt by $2.4 trillion over a decade—and crucially, strip electric vehicle tax credits. Musk, whose empire depends on green subsidies, called the bill a “disgusting abomination.”
Trump retaliated, ousting Musk from his advisory role and threatening to terminate all government subsidies and contracts tied to Musk’s companies.
What followed was digital warfare. Musk blasted Trump on X, quoting old tweets on fiscal conservatism and implying Trump had lost his way. Days later, Musk dropped a bombshell: alleging Trump appears in sealed Epstein files—without providing evidence.
The consequences?
Tesla’s stock crashed 17.6%
SpaceX’s $3.8B in government contracts are now in jeopardy
Wall Street is rattled
This is more than a beef. It’s a battle between old-world politics and new-age tech empires. The question now: Will America double down on oil and debt—or bet on innovation and Mars?
One thing is clear: when titans clash, the market pays the price.
