A new escalation in the past hours between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, amid the backdrop of the massive spending bill known as "One Big Beautiful Bill," which summarizes the current tension.

Key developments:

1. Threat of "revoking" Musk:

Trump, via Truth Social and media interviews, hinted again at the possibility of looking into revoking Musk's citizenship or “revoking” him—despite Musk being a U.S. citizen for years—and sarcastically suggested finding a "DOGE monster" to return Musk to South Africa.

2. Campaign against government subsidies

Trump launched an attack on the subsidies received by Musk's companies (Tesla and SpaceX), indicating that they are "larger than anyone in history" and should be suspended and under review by government agencies like Doge or government efficiency.

3. Musk's response and the threat of a new party

Musk strongly criticized the bill via his account on platform X, threatening to launch the "America Party" if the law passes, considering it "a representation of irresponsible spending," and pledged to support opposing lawmakers.

Tesla's shares dropped by between 4.4% and 5% in the first market session following the escalation of the dispute, raising investor concerns about new volatility.
