Musk vs. Trump: A Political and Financial Earthquake

A Fiery Feud Erupts Between Elon Musk and Donald Trump: Tesla Stock Plummets Amidst Political Fallout Washington D.C. - A public spat between tech mogul Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump has sent shockwaves through the political and financial worlds. The conflict began when Musk publicly criticized Trump's tax policies, calling them a "disgusting abomination." Trump responded on his social media platform, Truth Social, launching a scathing attack on Musk, calling him "crazy." Trump also connected Musk to the failure of the electric vehicle mandate. "Elon's gone crazy," Trump reportedly posted. "He's to blame for the failed EV mandate and the rejection of his NASA nominee." The fallout has been immediate and significant. Tesla's stock price has plunged by 16%, reflecting investor concerns about the potential impact on SpaceX's government contracts. The Republican party is also divided, with some senators supporting Musk's financial stance, while others express disappointment. The situation remains fluid, with further developments expected.
