#TrumpVsMusk What began as a strategic alliance between Elon Musk and Donald Trump ended in a public battle full of accusations and threats. Musk, who had been a key advisor in the White House, left his position on May 30, in what appeared to be a cordial farewell.
However, just three days later, he harshly criticized the "Big Beautiful Bill," calling it a "repugnant abomination," which unleashed Trump's fury.
The conflict escalated quickly. Trump threatened to cancel Musk's government contracts, affecting Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink. Musk responded with a series of attacks on X (formerly Twitter), insinuating that Trump was involved with the Jeffrey Epstein files, an explosive accusation that shook the political sphere.
The dispute not only affected the personal relationship between the two but also impacted the markets. Tesla's stock fell by 14%, while the cryptocurrency TrumpCoin lost more than 100 million dollars. Musk, in response, announced that SpaceX would begin dismantling its Dragon spacecraft, used by NASA.
What was once a strategic collaboration turned into an open war. Is this the end of Musk's influence in American politics? Or just the beginning of a new battle?
