#TrumpVsMusk
Trump posted a threat on his social media saying: "The easiest way to save money in our budget, billions and billions of dollars, is to end government support for Elon and his contracts."
And if Trump directs government agencies against Musk, the tech billionaire will feel the pain. Tesla's stock price dropped by 14 percent on Thursday.
But Musk also has almost limitless resources to respond, including funding his rebellious Republican competitors in next year's elections and the primaries. He may not win a battle against the entire Trump government, but he could inflict a heavy political cost on him.
Musk wrote on X: "Trump has three and a half years left in his presidency, but I will be here for more than 40 years."
