Elon Musk and Donald Trump are no longer on the same side. Their latest disagreement over the government spending plan has gone public, and it’s starting to get personal.

It began when Trump supported the funding package known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” Musk quickly responded with strong criticism, calling it a “disgusting abomination” and saying Congress passed it too fast.

The president didn’t hold back. He said Musk was angry because the bill reduced the tax credits for electric vehicles. He then warned that the federal government might rethink its contracts with Musk’s companies.

Tesla’s CEO denied that his reaction was about EV incentives. He said the bill was rushed and flawed. Then, he made it even more personal, claiming the president’s name appeared in documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and supported a post that called for Trump’s impeachment.

Their fight isn’t just words. Tesla’s stock dropped by 14%, costing the company $150 billion in value. The fallout could have lasting effects on federal partnerships and the next election.

What happened:

  • Musk slammed the president’s bill and criticized how fast it passed
  • POTUS claimed Tesla’s CEO was just upset over EV funding
  • Musk denied it and raised other issues
  • Tesla’s value fell by $150 billion
  • Musk brought up Epstein records and backed a post to impeach Trump

“The bill is a disgusting abomination,” Musk wrote on X. “Slim it down, pass it fast.”

Now, the fight between two of the most high-profile figures in business and politics could shake up future deals and political alliances.
