🔥 Trump Escalates War on Elon Musk — Tesla & SpaceX Face Federal Scrutiny! 🚨
Date: July 2, 2025
Byline: MarketPulse Newsroom
In a dramatic and unexpected twist shaking Wall Street and Silicon Valley alike, former U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a full-scale offensive against Elon Musk and his companies, targeting the billions they receive in federal support. The move, which comes amid rising political tensions and policy debates, could have massive consequences for both the tech and financial worlds.
💣 The Trump Strike: DOGE Goes After Musk
Trump announced today that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — a federal oversight office that Musk once praised — will investigate Tesla, SpaceX, and other Musk-led ventures for their heavy dependence on government contracts, subsidies, and tax incentives.
> 🗣️ Trump on social media:
“Elon might have received more money from the government than anyone in history. Without those funds, his businesses could shut down!”
He added that pulling back this support could save American taxpayers “tens of billions.”
📉 Market Fallout: Tesla Dips
Investors reacted swiftly. Tesla shares fell 3.8% in early trading, with analysts warning that deeper investigations or subsidy cuts could pressure Musk’s companies — especially in the high-capital sectors of EVs and aerospace.
SpaceX, which relies on NASA and military contracts, could also face operational risks if DOGE’s investigation gains traction.
⚡ Musk vs. Trump: From Allies to Adversaries
Once political allies, the Trump-Musk relationship has deteriorated sharply in recent months. The final trigger? Musk’s public criticism of Trump’s newly unveiled policy platform, dubbed the “Big, Beautiful Bill”, which proposes sweeping economic reforms and federal cutbacks.
Now, what started as a policy disagreement has exploded into a personal feud — and it’s playing out on the national stage.
