🚨 Trump vs Musk — And Crypto’s Caught in the Middle
🔥 What’s Going On?
Donald Trump says he doesn’t want to hurt Elon Musk’s companies — but his latest policy moves tell a different story.
👉 He’s cutting clean energy subsidies that Tesla and SpaceX have long relied on.
👉 Meanwhile, SpaceX is at risk of losing major defense contracts, including parts of the $175B "Golden Dome" missile defense system.
Trump’s words:
> “I want Elon’s companies to THRIVE… but not on taxpayer subsidies.”
🪙 And Here’s Where Crypto Gets Involved
1. Trump Coin ($TRUMP ) Surges 📈
Trump’s latest public clash with Musk has re-energized his loyal fanbase, pushing TRUMP coin up 12% today.
Analysts say it's being used to signal support for Trump’s new economic push — especially as he flirts with dismantling Big Tech influence.
Musk has stayed quiet on crypto today, but Dogecoin slipped -4%, possibly from fear of Musk losing influence in defense and policy.
Some say if Trump distances the government from Musk’s firms, it could weaken Musk’s crypto credibility, especially on X (formerly Twitter), where he's a major DOGE hype figure.
3. Bitcoin & Stablecoins
Trump is quietly backing Bitcoin adoption through his media firm’s holdings.
Insiders say he’s exploring stablecoin integrations into his upcoming “America Party” platform — a clear challenge to Musk’s X-coin ambitions.
