Trump and Musk’s Explosive Feud: From Allies to Enemies Over Tax Bill

The surprising alliance between U.S. President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk has deteriorated into a heated public feud, primarily due to disagreements over Trump’s tax and budget bill.

The feud, referred to as the Trump-Musk feud of 2025, has been characterised by personal insults and political threats exchanged on social media platforms like X and Truth Social, significantly impacting American politics.

Roots of the Trump-Musk Feud

Musk donated nearly $200 million to Trump’s 2024 campaign and was appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), where he cut federal jobs and budgets.

Tensions escalated when Musk criticised the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which reduced electric vehicle subsidies that were important to Tesla, calling it an “abomination.” After resigning from DOGE, Musk intensified his rhetoric, demanding Trump’s impeachment and alleging—without evidence—ties to Epstein, according to Bloomberg.

I don’t mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago. This is one of the Greatest Bills ever presented to Congress. It’s a Record Cut in Expenses, $1.6 Trillion Dollars, and the Biggest Tax Cut ever given. If this Bill doesn’t pass, there will be a 68% Tax…

Trump responded on Truth Social, claiming he asked Musk to resign and threatening to end Tesla and SpaceX’s government contracts, worth $19 billion since 2008, per The Washington Post. Musk fired back, asserting, “Without me, Trump would have lost,” and hinting at decommissioning a SpaceX rocket vital for NASA, per The Guardian.

I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore.

This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.

Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 3, 2025

Political and Economic Stakes

The dispute over the tax bill threatens Trump’s legislative agenda, as Musk is lobbying Senate conservatives to oppose it. Analysts caution about potential economic repercussions, noting that Tesla’s stock fell by 14% on June 5, wiping out $153 billion in value, as reported by Forbes. Additionally, threats regarding the SpaceX contract could disrupt U.S. ambitions in space. The allegations related to Epstein have sparked speculation, although no evidence supports Musk’s claims.

The Trump-Musk feud in 2025 turns a policy disagreement into a clash of egos, as disputes over tax bills and threats to SpaceX contracts jeopardise economic and diplomatic stability. The situation is intensified by the allegations against Epstein, highlighting the volatile relationship between politics and tech influence.
