Washington, alive – The relationship that used to look closely among the president of the United States (USA), Donald Trump and Elon Musk technology entrepreneur, have now become open hostility.

The terrible dispute between the two exploded in recent days, with an acute and insulting statement. In fact, recently both are known as nearby allies.

In an interview with only a few hours after a fierce debate with Elon Musk, Trump was asked about the report to make a phone call with the CEO of Tesla and Spacex. However, Trump’s response actually joined the heat of the atmosphere.

“Do you mean the madman?” Trump said sarcastically on Saturday, June 7, 2025.

He said, he was not too interested in talking to Musk at this time. According to him, he was the person who wanted to contact him, he doesn’t vice versa.

“But it is not ready to contact the richest people in the world who control the Spacex and Tesla space companies,” Trump added.

People close to Trump revealed that the president felt more disappointed than angry with the dispute. An advisor who was with Trump said Trump seemed devastated by the rupture of his relationship.

Cited by ABC News, Trump even considers selling a red Tesla car that has just bought as a form of support for Musk.

The purchase occurred last March, when musk companies faced great pressure. It is known that Trump had seen several Tesla models in the White House at that time.

The hostility between the two figures originated in Musk’s open criticisms of fiscal policy and immigration proposed by Trump.

Musk not only declared that Trump would lose in the 2024 elections without his support, but also openly supported the accusation and offended the name of Trump in the scandal of Jeffrey Epstein.

“Without me, Trump will lose in the elections. The Democrats will control the DPR and the Republic will be in the position of 51-49 in the Senate. I really do not thank them,” Musk wrote on the X platform.

In another load, Musk accused Trump’s participation in the Epstein scandal.

“It’s time to launch a very large bomb (Trump) is in the Epstein file. That is the real reason why the files are not published,” he said.

Trump did not remain silent. He made a strong response to blinking Musk’s commercial contracts involving large funds from the United States government.

“The easiest way to save money in our budget, billions and billions of dollars is to stop the subsidies and government contracts. I am always surprised that they have not done it!” He said.

It is known that musk companies such as Tesla, Spacex and Starlink have direct contracts with the United States government and benefit from several fiscal subsidies and incentives.

This burning conflict not only shows the crack of the relationship between two main figures, but it can also have a broad impact, especially on national technology projects and political stability before the 2024 elections in the United States.
