🔴 Trump Pulls the Plug on Tesla After Clash with Elon Musk

Well, that escalated fast.

What looked like a budding alliance between Donald Trump and Elon Musk has officially gone up in smoke. Trump has ditched his red Tesla Model S—the same car he picked up earlier this year as a supposed peace offering. Now it’s collecting dust, much like their now-fried relationship.

🔥 From Allies to Enemies

The fallout began when Musk blasted Trump’s latest tax-heavy bill, branding it a “disgusting abomination.” Trump clapped back with his usual fire, calling Musk “crazy” and accusing him of suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Once the insults fly, you know the gloves are off.

💥 $22B in the Crossfire

This isn’t just a headline feud—it’s financial warfare. Trump is now threatening to pull federal contracts from Musk’s empire, including SpaceX, which is sitting on roughly $22 billion in government deals. Musk fired back with a threat to exit NASA partnerships—but later softened his stance. Was it a real threat or a bluff?

📉 Tesla’s Bloody Day

The market didn’t take the drama lightly. Tesla’s stock took a brutal hit, plunging 14% and wiping out $150 billion in value in a single trading day. A partial recovery followed, but the volatility left investors rattled.

💸 Funding Fallout

Let’s not forget—Musk reportedly poured $300 million into Trump’s 2024 run. That funding pipeline just snapped shut. With the election campaign gaining steam, both Trump and Musk’s ventures could feel the squeeze.
