The battle between tech titan Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump has reached a fever pitch. The spat escalated dramatically Thursday, with accusations flying and the very real possibility of billions of dollars in government subsidies hanging in the balance.

Musk, CEO of Tesla, reignited the feud by claiming Trump wouldn’t have won the presidency without his support. Trump swiftly responded in the White House, expressing his disappointment with Musk’s public criticism of the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill,’ a spending bill Musk has vehemently denounced on social media.

The former president didn’t stop there. Later, on Truth Social, Trump declared his intention to cut off Musk’s government subsidies and contracts, stating that it would save ‘Billions and Billions of Dollars’ in the budget.

This latest development marks a significant escalation in the ongoing feud, leaving many wondering about the future of Tesla’s government relationships and the broader implications for political and business relations in the tech world. The situation remains highly volatile and promises further developments in the days to come.
