Turning Point: A Loss for Both Money and Power, Public Humiliation and Betrayal of Interests
When Musk was in charge of the 'Department of Government Efficiency', he slashed 260,000 civil service jobs, saving $175 billion. However, the 'Great and Beautiful Act' pushed by Trump directly caused this money to vanish, and also canceled the $7,500 electric vehicle subsidy for Tesla. Musk angrily denounced the act as 'a grotesque piece of junk policy', leading to a $2.4 trillion surge in the deficit.
Public Humiliation
Trump publicly vetoed Musk's recommendation for NASA director (due to their past donations to the Democratic Party), pretending to award the 'White House Key' at a farewell event, then turning around to criticize his nominee as 'a traitor seeking revenge and threats.'
Blackmail VS Blacklist
Musk's Triple Strike
Policy Table Turned: Called on fans on the X platform to 'smother the act', targeting Trump's core achievements;
Exposed Blackmail: Hinting that Trump's name appeared in the 'Epstein Files', which exploded on the internet and was quickly deleted; Party Counterattack: Planning to establish the 'American Party' to confront the Republican Party, gaining 80% support from netizens.
Trump's Death Threat
Threatened: 'If you dare to fund Democratic candidates, you will die a miserable death!'
Cutting Off Financial Routes: Threatened to terminate SpaceX's NASA contracts and Tesla subsidies, causing its stock price to plummet 14% in a single day, evaporating $150 billion in market value (approximately 1.1 trillion yuan).
Essence: Business Over 'Ideology'
Musk's Misjudgment: Spent $300 million + manipulated the X platform, thinking he could exchange for policy privileges (like retaining the electric vehicle subsidy), only to be abandoned after crossing the river;
Trump's Ruthlessness: Lauded as a 'reform hero' when needed, but turned into a 'mad dog' when useless, with the Republican Party's peace efforts failing.
Harsh Truth: There are no eternal allies, only eternal interests. $300 million cannot buy loyalty, and a harsh word can destroy hundreds of billions in market value.
Note: The incident continues to simmer. If Musk forms a new party or Trump cuts contracts, it will rewrite the political and business landscape in the U.S.
