Is the feud between the world's most powerful man and the world's richest man over?
The dispute between US President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk has reached its breaking point, international media reported.
Elon Musk has been criticizing President Trump's spending bill for more than a week now, and Trump is actively lobbying against it.
Trump has spoken candidly about his frustration with Musk over the heated argument that erupted when he met the German leader in the Oval Office yesterday (05), exchanging insults and threats, and the dispute came after Musk officially resigned from his government position last week.
In response, Musk took to his ‘X’ social media platform to accuse President Trump of appearing in unreleased files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, without evidence, and Trump responded on his ‘Truth Social’ platform by saying that Musk was ‘crazy’ and had asked him to leave his administration.
The stock price of Elon Musk’s Tesla fell significantly by 14% amid the controversy, and President Trump has also hinted at ending Elon’s government subsidies and contracts.
Musk's two main companies, SpaceX and Tesla, receive the vast majority of direct government grants, and in response, Musk has announced that he will begin decommissioning SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft, which NASA has used to transport astronauts to and from the International Space Station.
