🔴 Trump Ditches Tesla After Clash with Elon Musk
What started as a short-lived alliance between Donald Trump and Elon Musk has now ended in a very public feud. Trump recently stopped using the red Tesla Model S he bought earlier this year, signaling a clear break.
🔥 Tensions Explode
It all blew up after Musk slammed Trump’s new tax-and-spend bill, calling it a “disgusting abomination.” Trump fired back, branding Musk “crazy” and accusing him of having “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
💥 Billions at Risk
Trump has since threatened to cancel federal contracts with Musk’s companies. SpaceX alone has around $22 billion on the line. Musk briefly warned he might pull SpaceX from NASA missions, but later backed down.
📉 Tesla Takes a Hit
The feud triggered a market slide—Tesla lost around $150 billion in value in a single day, dropping 14% before recovering slightly.
💸 Campaign Fallout
Musk reportedly poured $300 million into Trump’s 2024 campaign. That support now looks gone, which could shake up both politics and future funding for Musk’s ventures.
👉 Bottom Line:
Trump vs. Musk is no longer behind closed doors. The partnership is over, the money’s moving, and both sides could end up paying the price.
