【Trump VS Musk Battle Record】"From Allies to Mortal Enemies: A $150 Billion War of Words"
1. Nuclear Level Insult War
Fatal Exchange:
Musk launched two "nuclear bombs" on X platform: first claiming "Without me, Trump can't win the election," then revealing "Trump has links to the Epstein case."
Trump retaliated with threats: "If you dare to fund the Democrats, you'll regret it," and announced "the relationship is completely over."
Damage Report: Tesla's stock price plummeted 14% in a single day, with a market value evaporating by $150 billion. SpaceX faced a risk of losing $48 billion in government contracts, and the NASA director nomination was withdrawn.
2. The Inside Story of the Fallout
Trigger: The "Big and Beautiful Act" became the ultimate flashpoint: cutting electric vehicle subsidies + increasing debt by $2.4 trillion, directly undermining Musk's financial reform achievements.
Musk angrily criticized: "This bill is full of political graft!"
Deep-seated Conflict: Idealism vs. Realpolitik: Musk wants to reshape the government with Silicon Valley thinking, while Trump just wants a compliant ATM.
Business Interests: Tesla's costs increased by $5,000 per vehicle due to tariff policies, and the Shanghai factory's output plummeted by 30%.
3. Factions Align
Republican Party Division:
Hardliners: Shouting, "Investigate Musk's immigration status!"
Pragmatists: Hinting, "The two will reconcile sooner or later."
Silicon Valley's Collective Silence: Except for former PayPal board member Moritz speaking out, tech giants are all playing dead.
Truth: These companies are busy signing defense AI contracts and have no time to take sides.
4. Follow-Up Developments
▶ The Most Unfortunate Scapegoat:
Tesla Owners: Brand image collapsed, European sales halved. SpaceX Engineers: The "Starship" project may be hijacked by OpenAI.
▶ The Ultimate Suspense:
Musk suddenly backed down and deleted his posts on June 11, but Trump's team coldly responded: "Too late!"
Analysts warn: If SpaceX contracts are indeed canceled, Musk's net worth could drop by another 30%.
