Here’s the latest sharp turn in the Musk–Trump saga: once close collaborators, they’re now clashing publicly in a full-blown feud over Trump’s #OneBigBeautifulBill

📉 Key Developments

• Musk attacks Trump’s fiscal plan

Elon Musk slammed the Senate-approved “Big, Beautiful Bill” — a massive $3.3 trillion tax and spending package championed by Trump — warning it would balloon the national debt by “five trillion dollars” and threaten clean-energy incentives.

• Threats escalate on both sides

Musk threatened to create a new “America Party” and back primary challengers to Republicans supporting the bill. In turn, Trump responded by attacking Musk’s companies—hinting at pulling subsidies, questioning the public benefits Musk's firms have received, and even teasing deportation due to Musk’s South African birth people.com.

• Market consequences

The public spat contributed to a significant drop in Tesla’s stock—falling over 5 percent in a day—erasing around $120 billion in market value.

• Bromance turned feud

Once labeled a “bromance,” their relationship turned sour. Musk resigned from Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in May, and by early June Trump publicly distanced himself, labeling Musk “crazy” and saying he's “very disappointed” 

What This Means

Tesla & Markets Reduced consumer trust and investor anxiety could further weaken Tesla amid slumping sales. Policy DirectionThe clash reflects a deeper divide: Musk favors fiscal conservatism and clean-energy support, while Trump pushes for ambitious deficit-financed spending.

Bottom Line

What began as a strategic partnership has unraveled into a high-stakes public confrontation—spanning threats of new political parties, deportation, and economic warfare. The outcome could reshape GOP dynamics, Musk’s role in U.S. politics, and heavyweights’ influence on both policy and markets.
