Trump-Musk Breakup Hits Tesla
- On June 5, 2025, the previously close relationship involving Donald Trump and Elon Musk ended publicly amid intense social media confrontations.
- The fallout occurred after Musk publicly condemned Trump's major federal budget proposal, particularly denouncing its increased expenditures and the rollback of electric vehicle requirements.
- Trump responded by threatening to terminate all government contracts with Tesla and accused Musk of going crazy after the electric vehicle mandate was canceled.
- Tesla's stock fell by more than 14% on Thursday, resulting in a reduction of approximately $150 billion in the company's market capitalization, following Musk's widely circulated post accusing Trump of involvement in the Epstein files.
- This public feud suggests a deep political schism that could affect Musk's companies and Republican support, while Musk also urged impeachment proceedings against Trump.
