Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s fallout, explained

President Donald Trump and Elon Musk are now engaged in a very public and bitter dispute. Their disagreement goes beyond personal matters and has significant implications for the country, as Musk strongly opposes Trump’s key legislative proposal, which includes tax cuts, Medicaid reductions, and increased border spending, ultimately leading to a substantial increase in the national debt.

Musk criticized the bill as “massive, outrageous, pork-filled…a disgusting abomination” that would greatly escalate the budget deficit. He admonished those who voted for it, accusing them of wrongdoing. In response, Trump threatened to revoke Musk’s federal contracts, prompting Musk to consider forming a new political party and accusing Trump of concealing “the Epstein files.”
