#TrumpVsMusk The feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk started when Musk criticized Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," calling it a "disgusting abomination" that would worsen the federal deficit and undermine cost-cutting efforts. Trump responded by threatening to revoke government subsidies and contracts for Musk's businesses, such as SpaceX and Tesla. Here are some key points about their feud¹ ²:

- *Reasons for the Feud*: Musk opposed the bill due to cuts in clean energy incentives, while Trump claimed Musk knew the bill's details but opposed it only after electric vehicle incentives were cut.

- *Public Insults*: Musk suggested Trump should be impeached, while Trump called Musk a "bullshit artist" in 2022.

- *Government Contracts*: Trump threatened to revoke Musk's lucrative government contracts, but later seemed to soften his stance.

- *Twitter Feud*: The two engaged in a series of social media attacks on X (formerly Twitter) and Truth Social.

- *Current Status*: The feud appears to be dormant, with both parties seemingly moving on. Trump aides signaled that Trump was moving on and wouldn't cancel Musk's government contracts.

Their disagreement highlights the growing tension between Silicon Valley leaders and the Trump administration, with broader implications for the economy and society. The feud also showcases the complex relationship between these two influential figures, who have previously been allies and adversaries.³
