Trump-Musk Feud: Americans React to Billionaire Battle
The public spat between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has captivated the nation. Reactions from everyday Americans reveal a common sentiment: unsurprisingly. "Two rich men with two big egos – they can't coexist for long." said George Stephens, a Jacksonville resident. The conflict began when Trump criticized Musk in the Oval Office, escalating into a public social media feud. Musk called Trump's statement a lie, while Trump retaliated with accusations. This online battle resulted in a significant drop in Tesla shares, ending the day down 14%, while Trump's Truth Social shares fell about 8%. The incident underscores the impact of social media on public perception and market dynamics. One Austin resident, Sam K., offered advice: "Gentlemen, get into a room and hash out your differences."
