🔥 The Trump-Musk Feud: From Allies to Adversaries

In 2024, Elon Musk was a prominent supporter of Donald Trump's presidential campaign, contributing nearly $300 million and serving as an advisor in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Their collaboration was marked by joint appearances at events such as UFC fights, SpaceX launches, and political rallies.

However, tensions escalated on June 5, 2025, when Musk publicly criticized Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" (BBB), a significant tax and spending package. Musk labeled the bill as wasteful and accused Trump of fiscal irresponsibility. In response, Trump accused Musk of being upset over the removal of electric vehicle subsidies and threatened to terminate federal contracts with Musk's companies.

The feud intensified with Musk alleging that Trump appeared in the sealed "Epstein files," a claim that further strained their relationship. The fallout led to a 14% drop in Tesla's stock value, erasing $150 billion in market capitalization and $20 billion from Musk's personal fortune.
