Musk :
After stepping down from a top government role, Elon Musk slams Trump’s policies, says he should be removed from office—Trump fires back, calls Musk “insane” and vows to cancel Tesla contracts.


A fierce political feud erupted in the United States after billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk publicly called for the removal of President Donald Trump just days after resigning from his government post. The clash, which unfolded on social media and through media interviews, has drawn nationwide attention and threatens to impact policy, political alliances, and the electric vehicle industry.


Musk Resigns, Then Turns Against Trump

Within days, Musk launched a blistering attack on Trump, accusing him of reckless spending and calling for his removal from office.

In a social media post, Musk wrote, “Donald Trump cannot win the next election without my support. His so-called ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ is nothing but a wasteful spending spree. He should be removed from office and replaced with Vice President JD Vance.”


Trump Responds: ‘Musk Has Gone Insane’

Trump, visibly angered by Musk’s criticism, responded during a press briefing at the White House on Thursday evening. When asked about Musk’s disapproval of the “Big Beautiful Bill”—a sweeping tax and expenditure package—Trump initially tried to downplay the issue, calling Musk “a friend” who was previously supportive of the bill.


Musk Denies Knowledge of Trump’s Spending Bill

Refuting Trump’s claims, Musk fired back on X (formerly Twitter), calling the President’s statements “a complete lie.”

“I was never shown this bill,” Musk posted. “It was passed hastily at midnight, and even members of Congress didn’t have time to read it. Trump’s claim that I approved it is false.”

Musk further criticized the rollback of Biden-era EV mandates. Under the Biden administration, automakers were encouraged to produce more electric vehicles to reduce emissions. However, Trump repealed that mandate, claiming it forced Americans to buy expensive cars they didn’t want. The decision directly affects Tesla’s core business model, which centers around EVs.


Political Fallout and Threats to Tesla’s Business

Musk’s escalating criticism didn’t stop there. He claimed Trump would have lost the previous election without his influence. “Without me, Democrats would control the House and win the Senate 51–49,” Musk wrote.

Trump was quick to dismiss that assertion. “I would’ve won without him,” he said, brushing off Musk’s influence.

Musk’s reply? “That’s pure ingratitude.”

This digital war of words may now have real-world consequences. In a series of posts on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump warned of ending all government subsidies and contracts with Musk’s companies.

“Elon became a problem, so I asked him to step down,” Trump wrote. “I repealed the EV mandate, which forced people to buy cars they didn’t want. He knew this was coming, and now he’s throwing a tantrum.”

Trump added, “The easiest way to save billions in the federal budget is to eliminate all subsidies and contracts going to Elon Musk. I’m shocked Biden never did it. We’re reviewing every agreement Tesla and SpaceX have with the government.”


What’s at Stake: EV Policies, Contracts, and Political Tensions

The dispute between Musk and Trump underscores deepening divisions over climate policy, spending, and the role of tech billionaires in American politics.

During Trump’s presidency, Musk’s companies benefited significantly from government contracts and subsidies, especially related to EV infrastructure and space exploration. SpaceX, Tesla, and Neuralink all hold various federal partnerships that could now be in jeopardy.

Analysts say Trump’s public threat to cancel those agreements could affect not just Musk but also the future of green technology initiatives in the U.S.


A Shifting Alliance with Political Ramifications

Musk’s exit from the Trump administration and his subsequent criticism suggest a major rupture in what was once viewed as a strategic alliance between tech and conservative leadership.

Trump, who once praised Tesla after purchasing one of its vehicles in March, now accuses Musk of betrayal. Musk, on the other hand, claims he was kept in the dark about major policy changes and is being unfairly targeted for defending clean energy priorities.


Conclusion: Tech and Politics on a Collision Course

The public fallout between Elon Musk and Donald Trump marks a new phase in the intersection of technology, politics, and environmental policy in the U.S. With potential repercussions for EV mandates, taxpayer subsidies, and government contracts, this dispute could influence both the 2026 midterms and the broader debate about America’s energy future.

As the battle escalates, one thing is clear: the alliance between Trump and Musk is over—and what comes next could reshape the landscape of both Washington and Silicon Valley.
