#TrumpVsMusk The feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk has escalated, with both men lobbing online insults and threats at each other. Here's what's happening ¹:

- *The Dispute*: Trump plans to sell his Tesla, which he bought to show support for Musk, after their public falling out. Musk had been a supporter of Trump, but their relationship deteriorated.

- *Potential Consequences*: Musk's companies, including SpaceX, could lose billions in government contracts if Trump follows through on his threats. Trump's actions may also impact his own political standing, as Musk had promised to donate $100 million to Trump's team before the 2026 midterms.

- *Global Reaction*: Russia has weighed in on the feud, with some officials offering Musk political asylum and others mocking the situation as a symbol of "modern US political culture". Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov described it as an "internal matter" for the US.

- *Market Impact*: The public clash between Trump and Musk has spooked markets, with uncertainty triggering a wave of forced selling in crypto markets.

*Key Players' Reactions:*

- *Dmitry Rogozin*, former head of Russia's space program, offered Musk a place in Russia, saying, "If you encounter insurmountable problems in the US, come to us."

- *Dmitry Medvedev*, former Russian President, joked about facilitating a peace deal between Trump and Musk for a "reasonable fee" and accepting Starlink shares as payment.

- *Margarita Simonyan*, editor-in-chief of RT, saw the feud as a symbol of "modern US political culture" and likened it to the "English Industrial Revolution. Only in reverse."
