#TrumpVsMusk what follows?
On July 2, 2025, a new chapter begins in the tension between former President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.
What seemed like a cordial alliance in March has transformed into a contest with political and economic effects.
Musk once again lashed out at the ambitious bill that Trump is pushing in the Senate, calling it 'insane' and ready to shoot up the national debt.
He even warned that he would form an 'America Party' if the plan succeeded.
Trump's reaction was immediate and aggressive.
From Truth Social and interviews, he threatened to eliminate all subsidies for Tesla and SpaceX, review contracts, and claimed that Musk benefited 'more than any human in history.'
He also hinted at the option to 'look into' whether it was feasible to revoke his naturalized citizenship or deport him.
Musk, far from backing down, responded by asking for the complete elimination of federal subsidies ('CUT IT ALL') and acknowledged that it could escalate the conflict, although for now he is holding back.
The financial impact was immediate: Tesla lost between 5 and 7% in the stock market, reducing its market value by nearly 7 billion USD due to the threat over tax benefits.
In short, the Trump-Musk confrontation has become a relevant episode that combines political attack, pressure on the deficit, and repercussions for a technology giant.
The dispute remains open, and its development could influence both fiscal policy and clean energy markets.
