Which includes personal attacks, political threats and billions of dollars of financial loss to Tesla etc. Let’s know about this whole matter in detail.
Rift in Trump-Musk friendship! Rift in Trump-Musk Friendship
Last night this fight between Trump-Musk took a very terrible turn. At the beginning of Donald Trump’s second term, X owner Elon Musk was seen as his senior advisor. Along with this, he also appointed Musk as a special government official by making him the head of DOGE.
Meanwhile, Elon’s tenure as DOGE chief ended. Along with this, he also stepped down as Trump’s advisor. Since then, the rhetoric between the two on social media is at its peak. The animosity between the two is coming out in the open in front of the people.
How did the friendship between Trump and Musk happen?
Donald Trump and Elon’s friendship grew in the month of July in the year 2024. At this time an assassination attempt was made on Trump in Pennsylvania. Musk gave his full support to Donald Trump in the US presidential election. Musk also participated in his election campaign. Both became best friends during the election.
On January 20, Trump once again sat on the chair of the President of America. In February, Musk also tweeted for Trump. In which he said, “I love Donald Trump as much as a simple man can love another man.”
Musk made the most public face of DOGE
In the early days of Trump’s administration, the Tesla CEO also became the most public face of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Not only this, a week ago i.e. on May 31, Trump also praised Musk. He called Musk “one of the greatest business leaders the world has ever seen” in his final Oval Office press conference. However, things started getting worse after this.
When did the dispute start?
The dispute between the two deepened when the news of Elon Musk leaving the government came last week. The reason behind this was “One Big Beautiful Bill”. Elon is against this bill. On the other hand, Trump wants it to be passed. Since then, minor disputes were going on between the two. However, on June 5, this dispute came to the fore when Trump accused Musk of trying to end the electric vehicle tax credit, which stopped an important bill.
The very next day, Musk clarified on X (formerly Twitter) that he was never shown this bill. Not only this, he claimed that the bill was passed so fast in the darkness of the night that many members of Congress could not even read it properly.
Musk talked about impeachment proceedings against Trump
The situation worsened when Musk personally attacked Trump. He mentioned his alleged relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. He said that Trump has ties with the infamous financier Jeffrey Epstein. Musk even said that impeachment proceedings should be initiated against Trump. Also, JD Vance should get support in his place.
Trump also retaliated
After this, Trump also retaliated and threatened to end the government subsidies and contracts being given to Musk’s companies. Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, “I have no objection to Elon going against me. But he should have done so months ago.”
Musk polled new political party
In response to this tweet of Trump, Elon Musk announced the immediate shutdown of his Dragon spacecraft. Let us tell you that Dragon is currently the only American spacecraft capable of bringing and taking astronauts to the ISS. This will create big problems for NASA and ISS.
After this, Elon also conducted a poll on X. In which he asked the public, “Is it time to form a new political party in America that actually represents 80% of the middle class people?
Fall in Tesla’s shares
This rhetoric had a direct impact on Tesla’s shares. The shares fell by 14%, which reduced the company’s market value by about $ 152 billion. At the same time, Musk’s personal wealth also decreased by about $ 8.73 billion.
Now it remains to be seen whether the effect of this war between Musk and Trump is limited only to the market or it also brings an earthquake in the electoral politics of America.
