The public feud between U.S. President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk has escalated dramatically, marking a significant rupture in their previously close alliance.

🔥 Origins of the Feud

The conflict ignited over Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” a sweeping tax and spending proposal. Musk vehemently criticized the bill, labeling it a “disgusting abomination” and expressing concerns about its potential to increase the national deficit by $2.5 trillion. He also claimed he was not given the opportunity to review the bill before its release.  

In response, Trump expressed disappointment in Musk and threatened to revoke government contracts with Musk’s companies, including SpaceX and Tesla. Musk retaliated by threatening to decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, which could impact NASA operations.
