Tue Jul 01 07:41:04 UTC 2025: **Trump Threatens to Cut Subsidies to Musk’s Companies Amid Spending Bill Feud**
**Washington D.C.** – The ongoing feud between President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk escalated sharply this week, with Trump threatening to cut government subsidies to Musk’s companies, including Tesla and SpaceX. The clash stems from Musk’s vocal opposition to Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” a controversial spending package that includes tax cuts and border security enhancements.
Trump suggested that without the government assistance, Musk, who previously served as a presidential advisor and head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), would be forced to “close up shop and head back home to South Africa.”
Musk responded defiantly on X, formerly Twitter, urging Trump to “CUT IT ALL. Now.” He has been a vocal critic of the bill, arguing it will bankrupt America and enslave future generations with debt. Musk also renewed calls for a new political party.
The “One Big Beautiful Bill” is a cornerstone of Trump’s legacy, but faces opposition from both sides of the aisle. While it extends tax cuts, it also includes cuts to healthcare and adds trillions to the national debt.
Musk had previously endorsed Trump but broke with the president last month over the spending bill, leading to a public and increasingly hostile dispute. Trump criticized Musk’s stance against the bill, noting Musk’s prior support and questioning the fairness of significant subsidies for electric vehicles.
The President suggested DOGE should scrutinize Musk’s business interests and called for an end to subsidies, stating “No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE.”
As the Senate votes on the bill, the conflict between Trump and Musk continues to intensify, highlighting deep divisions over economic policy and government spending.
