President Donald Trump, amidst a renewed public clash with Elon Musk, posted on Truth Social suggesting that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—which Musk once led—should scrutinize the extensive government subsidies granted to Musk’s companies. Trump claimed Musk may have received “more subsidy than any human being in history” and proposed cutting support for SpaceX, Tesla, and Starlink to potentially “save a FORTUNE” .
In response, Musk fired back on X, declaring: “I am literally saying CUT IT ALL. Now.” This conflict follows Musk’s harsh condemnation of Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which he labeled “utterly insane and destructive,” and his call for a new political party. The feud has rattled markets: Tesla stock slid 4–8% in premarket trading amid concerns over subsidy cuts and rising tensions .
