#TrumpVsMusk

The feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk started when Musk criticized Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," which Musk believed would increase the national debt and undermine his efforts at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Here's a short note on their feud:

*Key Points:*

- *Criticism of the Bill*: Musk slammed the bill, saying it would "destroy millions of jobs in America" and cause "immense strategic harm" to the country.

- *Trump's Response*: Trump threatened to use DOGE to probe Musk's business contracts and joked about deporting him.

- *Musk's Rebuttal*: Musk said he was "tempted" to escalate tensions but would "refrain for now". He emphasized his opposition to rising government debt.

- *Shift in Tone*: Despite their differences, Musk gave Trump unexpected praise, crediting him for resolving "several serious conflicts around the world".

- *Potential Impact*: The feud has risked $100 million in political donations to Trump-affiliated organizations and threatened a $5 billion debt sale for Musk's xAI.

The situation remains fluid, with both sides exchanging barbs on social media ¹.
