#TrumpVsMusk What began as a strategic alliance between Elon Musk and Donald Trump ended in a public battle full of accusations and threats. Musk, who had been a key advisor in the White House, left his position on May 30, in what seemed to be a cordial farewell.
However, just three days later, he harshly criticized the “Big Beautiful Bill,” calling it a “repugnant abomination,” which unleashed Trump's fury.
The conflict escalated quickly. Trump threatened to cancel Musk's government contracts, affecting Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink. Musk responded with a series of attacks on X (formerly Twitter), insinuating that Trump was involved with Jeffrey Epstein's files, an explosive accusation that shook the political sphere.
The dispute affected not only the personal relationship between the two, but also had an impact on the markets. Tesla's shares fell by 14%, while the cryptocurrency TrumpCoin lost over 100 million dollars. Musk, in response, announced that SpaceX would begin dismantling its Dragon spacecraft, used by NASA.
What was once a strategic collaboration turned into an open war. Is this the end of Musk's influence in American politics? Or simply the beginning of a new battle?
