Trump vs Musk: DOGE, SpaceX, Tesla and a $5 Trillion Debt
Trump vs Musk – U.S. President Donald Trump is back in the headlines with yet another explosive statement — this time aimed squarely at Elon Musk. In a heated post on Truth Social, Trump took aim at the billionaire entrepreneur and his stance on electric vehicles. While stating, “Electric cars are fine, but no one should be forced to buy one,” Trump doubled down on his opposition to the EV Mandate.
But what truly set social media on fire was this jab:
“Without subsidies, Elon would have to shut down and head back to South Africa!”
Trump accused Musk of being the most heavily subsidized individual in history, suggesting that without massive government funding, companies like Tesla and SpaceX would collapse. He added, “No more rocket launches, no satellites, no electric cars,” painting a dramatic picture of what he believes would happen in a subsidy-free world. Trump even threw in a crypto twist, referencing Musk’s favorite coin, DOGE, with a sarcastic remark:
“Maybe DOGE should take a good, hard look at this mess!”
Not Their First Clash
This isn’t the first public feud between Trump and Musk. Their rocky relationship made headlines last year when a similar spat led to a significant drop in Tesla stock prices. Despite some later public praise and softened rhetoric from both sides, Trump’s latest post appears to reignite old tensions.
Musk Fires Back: “The Porky Pig Party!”
Elon Musk didn’t stay silent. While avoiding Trump’s name, he fired a scathing tweet clearly aimed at the former president and his party:
“Every member of Congress who campaigned on reducing government spending and then voted for the biggest debt increase in history should hang their head in shame!”
Musk was referring to the recent legislation that raised the U.S. debt ceiling by a record $5 trillion, calling it “insane spending” and a sign that America is becoming a “one-party country — the Porky Pig Party.”
Hinting at a New Political Movement
In a bold final statement, Musk hinted at a possible new political party, declaring:
“Time for a new political party that actually cares about the people.”
This remark is seen by many as a direct challenge to both the Democratic and Republican establishments, and potentially the opening shot of a broader political ambition from the tech mogul.
