Musk and Trump's Explosive Feud: Accusations, Threats, and Market Fallout

Elon Musk and Donald Trump's public feud escalated dramatically this week, with Musk launching scathing criticisms of Trump's administration and policies. Musk called Trump's signature spending bill a "disgusting abomination" and suggested that Trump's presence in the Epstein files explains why they haven't been released to the public. Musk even went so far as to threaten to pull SpaceX contracts, a move that sent Tesla's stock plummeting. Trump responded by downplaying Musk's influence and contributions, claiming he didn't need Musk's money to win. The clash between these two powerful figures highlights the increasing polarization of American politics and the potential consequences of such public disputes. While Musk's claims regarding the Epstein files lack verifiable evidence, the incident underscores the intensity of the ongoing political climate.
