by Conflict between Trump and Musk: from friendship to public war
Donald Trump and Elon Musk, two billionaires who previously demonstrated friendly relations, are now in a state of open conflict. It all started with Musk’s criticism of a bill, which he called a “disgusting anomaly” and a “large-scale, scandalous law, overflowing with wastefulness.” He called on his 220 million followers on social network X to oppose this decision.
Trump initially did not react, but then sharply responded, stating that Musk “went crazy” after the cancellation of mandatory quotas for electric vehicles. Furthermore, the former US president hinted at a possible termination of state subsidies for Musk’s companies, which negatively impacted Tesla’s stock.

Consequences of the dispute
Musk, in response, stated that SpaceX may cease operation of the Dragon spacecraft, which would leave NASA without a key transport vehicle. He also accused Trump of concealing information related to the Epstein scandal and predicted an economic recession due to the former president’s tariffs.

The conflict between the two influential personalities could have serious consequences, especially for Musk’s companies. The public spat has already affected Tesla’s market value, and if the situation does not change, it could lead to additional difficulties for the businessman. It is still unclear whether they will be able to find common ground, but for now their relationship resembles a fight without rules.
