In a dramatic twist that's sending shockwaves globally, President Donald Trump today confirmed he's directing the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) โ a body ironically once championed by Elon Musk himself โ to aggressively investigate the massive federal subsidies flowing to Musk's companies. ๐คฏ This isn't just political banter; it's a direct threat to "save a fortune" by potentially slashing crucial aid to tech giants like SpaceX and Tesla. ๐ฐ๐ฐ๏ธ๐
The move comes after a fiery public spat ignited by Musk's scathing criticism of Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill." On Truth Social, Trump didn't mince words, declaring, "Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history... without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop... BIG MONEY TO BE SAVED!!!" ๐ฅ
This pivot signals a complete meltdown of their once-cozy alliance. With Tesla shares already taking a hit today, the high-stakes showdown between the President and the tech titan is set to redefine the future of government-backed innovation. Who blinks first? The world is watching. ๐๐
