Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s brief “peace” didn’t even last a month
Breakdown of the Musk-Trump Fallout:
The Truce is Over:
Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s brief “peace” didn’t even last a month. After the Senate’s narrow vote to debate Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” (a massive tax cut and spending package), Musk threw major shade.
Musk’s Counterattack:
On Monday and into early Tuesday, Musk announced he’ll use his wealth and influence to support primary challengers against Republican Congress members who backed the bill. He repeatedly criticized the bill for its enormous cost and tax implications.
Trump Fires Back:
Late Monday night, Trump hinted his administration might investigate Musk’s companies’ lucrative government contracts—a clear threat to Musk’s business empire.
White House Warning:
On Tuesday, Trump ominously said Musk risks losing “a lot more” than subsidies and warned that the Department of Government Efficiency (which Musk once headed) might turn against him.
🔥 Why This Matters:
This fight is not just political but could lead to real consequences for Musk’s businesses, especially SpaceX, Tesla, and others reliant on government contracts.
Musk’s decision to oppose key Republicans signals a new level of political activism and confrontation.
Trump’s move to possibly weaponize government agencies against Musk shows how personal and high-stakes their rivalry has become.
