One Big Beautiful Bill,”
By June, the fracture was a chasm. Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” a sprawling tax and spending package, became the breaking point. Musk, who’d spent months cutting government waste, saw the bill as a “disgusting abomination” that would balloon the national debt by $2.4 trillion. He took to X, his digital empire, railing against it: “This bill undermines everything DOGE fought for.” Trump, stung by the betrayal, fired back in the Oval Office, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz awkwardly at his side. “I’m very disappointed in Elon,” Trump said, mocking Musk’s recent black eye. “He’s upset because we cut his EV subsidies. I helped him a lot, and now this.”
The feud exploded online. Trump, on Truth Social, claimed he’d fired Musk, who’d “gone CRAZY” after losing his electric vehicle mandate. Musk, never one to back down, hit harder. “Without me, Trump would’ve lost the election,” he posted on X. “Such ingratitude.” He escalated, alleging without evidence that Trump was in unreleased Jeffrey Epstein files, a grenade that sent Tesla’s stock plunging 14%. Trump, furious, threatened to cancel SpaceX’s government contracts—billions in funding critical to Musk’s empire. Musk retaliated, briefly announcing he’d decommission the Dragon spacecraft, NASA’s only ride to the International Space Station, before backtracking.#TrumpVsMusk #Write2Earn
