White House: No Reconciliation in Sight as Fallout Deepens
The Trump–Musk bromance is officially dead.
President Donald Trump plans to sell his Tesla and cut ties with Elon Musk for good, two senior White House officials confirmed Friday. The move caps off a bitter public feud between the two powerhouse figures — a clash that now threatens to reshape political alliances and billion-dollar government contracts.
Sources say Trump’s red Tesla, bought just this past March as a personal nod to Musk’s innovation and loyalty, will be sold “imminently.” The gesture once symbolized mutual respect. Now, it’s a liability.
“President Trump has moved on,” said one official close to the situation, speaking anonymously. “There will be no reconciliation.”
🛰 Musk Backs Down — But It’s Too Late
The fallout intensified Thursday night when Musk walked back a threat to immediately suspend SpaceX’s Dragon capsule missions — a cornerstone of U.S. space operations. The threat had shaken NASA officials, given SpaceX’s critical role in ferrying astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station.
Investor Bill Ackman called for calm, urging both men to “reconcile for the good of the country.” Musk’s reply? “You’re not wrong.” But the damage may already be done.
💰 Financial and Political Stakes Skyrocket
Trump’s pivot could hit Musk where it hurts: the wallet. SpaceX and other Musk ventures have benefited from billions in federal funding. That pipeline may now be in jeopardy, with Trump reportedly considering halting several government contracts tied to Musk’s empire.
But Trump could also take a hit. Musk — the world’s richest man — funneled approximately $275 million into Trump’s 2024 campaign and had reportedly pledged another $100 million ahead of the 2026 midterms. Those funds? Now very much in limbo.
