#TrumpVsMusk The argument between Donald Trump and Elon Musk escalated after Musk strongly criticized Trump's budget proposal, claiming it was a "waste" and "detrimental to electric vehicles." Tensions rose when Musk suggested Trump was linked to the Jeffrey Epstein case, causing Trump to become furious, calling Musk a "madman" and threatening to cut government contracts with Tesla and SpaceX. Tesla's stock plummeted, losing tens of billions in market value. In response, Musk hinted at the possibility of forming a new political party. The incident garnered significant attention and raised concerns about the relationship between politics and tech corporations. After several days of online verbal sparring, both sides began to "cool down," thanks to the intervention of neutral parties and public pressure.
