President Trump is making headlines again by cutting ties with billionaire Elon Musk, signaling a major rupture between two of America’s most prominent figures. The president plans to sell his Tesla and has openly mocked Musk as having “lost his mind,” while threatening to slash billions in government subsidies to Musk’s companies. This explosive feud has already wiped $150 billion off Tesla’s value and exposed deep cracks in their once-close alliance.
Trump didn’t hold back when asked about Musk, dismissing him as unhinged and refusing to schedule a call with the SpaceX CEO. The White House confirmed there’s no interest in repairing the relationship, calling Musk’s recent antics “wearing thin.” Conservatives see this as Trump taking a stand against coastal elites who bash his America First policies.
The president fired a direct shot at Musk’s wallet, vowing to end federal subsidies for Tesla and SpaceX. Taxpayers have bankrolled Musk’s companies for years, including $3.8 billion in NASA contracts last year alone. Trump’s move aligns with conservative principles of cutting wasteful spending and stopping handouts to woke corporations.
Musk retaliated by threatening to halt SpaceX’s moon missions, but markets reacted harshly—Tesla stock cratered 14% in a single day. Main Street Americans are cheering as Trump confronts a billionaire who critics say got rich off government favors while mocking traditional values.
The feud went nuclear after Musk publicly trashed Trump’s tax reforms, prompting the president to claim he “asked him to leave” his White House role. Musk denied being fired, but Trump supporters argue this shows the president won’t tolerate disloyalty from even the wealthiest insiders.
Just months ago, Musk was a Trump ally, advising on technology policy and endorsing his re-election. Now he’s attacking the administration’s economic victories, proving how quickly coastal elites turn on leaders who prioritize workers over Wall Street.
Trump’s potential Tesla sale adds personal sting to the breakup. He bought the electric vehicle earlier this year, calling it Musk’s “baby,” but now wants nothing to do with it. Patriots see this as symbolic—rejecting flashy gadgets in favor of good-old American-made cars that don’t rely on Chinese batteries.
As tensions escalate, Washington watches whether Musk’s companies can survive without taxpayer lifelines. For Trump’s base, this clash represents a broader fight against arrogant tech titans who think they’re above the law—and a president willing to put America’s workers first.
