🔥 #TrumpVsMusk : From allies to enemies in record time 🚀🐘
What started as a powerful alliance between President Donald Trump and tech magnate Elon Musk has evolved into a public confrontation shaking both the political and business worlds.
In 2024, Musk supported Trump's campaign, contributing over $290 million and taking the lead of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). However, everything changed when Musk openly criticized Trump's tax bill, known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill," calling it an "abomination" for its impact on the national deficit.
Trump's response was swift: he threatened to cancel Musk's government contracts, valued at over $22 billion, and suggested selling his personal Tesla. Musk, for his part, hinted that Trump should be replaced by Vice President JD Vance and mentioned possible links between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
The repercussions were not limited to words. Tesla's stock fell by 14%, while Trump Media's shares dropped by 8%. Additionally, SpaceX threatened to suspend missions, jeopardizing key NASA operations.
Although both have recently exchanged conciliatory messages on social media, the tension persists. This confrontation not only redefines political alliances but also raises questions about the future of innovation and politics in the United States.
