昔日金主翻脸
周四，美国总统特朗普威胁要终止政府与埃隆·马斯克旗下企业的合作合同，马斯克则公开表示应弹劾特朗普，昔日盟友之间的友好关系在社交媒体上全面瓦解。
事情起因于特朗普在白宫公开批评特斯拉CEO马斯克。仅仅数小时后，美国总统与全球首富就在各自的平台——特朗普的Truth Social和马斯克的X（原推特）——上发起了激烈的言辞攻击。
“我们能最简单省下数十亿美元的方法，就是终止埃隆的政府补贴和合同。”特朗普在Truth Social上写道。
受此影响，华尔街抛售特斯拉股票，导致特斯拉股价暴跌14.3%，一天内市值蒸发约1,500亿美元，创下该公司有史以来单日最大跌幅。
收盘后不久，马斯克在X上对一则建议弹劾特朗普的帖文回复“是的”。尽管目前国会两院都由共和党掌控，弹劾总统的可能性极低，这一表态足以显示两人彻底决裂。
两人的矛盾已有端倪。此前，马斯克公开反对特朗普大规模削减税收与增加支出的法案，并呼吁否决，认为该法案会令美国36.2万亿美元的国家债务进一步恶化。特朗普起初保持沉默，直到周四才在椭圆形办公室表达失望立场：“我和埃隆曾关系密切，现在恐怕不再如此。”
面对特朗普发声，马斯克在X上连发数帖强硬回击。他称，如果没有自己的资助和支持，特朗普大选根本赢不了，并强调自己去年为特朗普和共和党投入近3亿美元。马斯克还警告称，特朗普的关税政策很可能令美国今年陷入经济衰退。
除了特斯拉，马斯克旗下太空探索公司SpaceX及其子公司星链都是美国政府重要合作方。特朗普扬言要切断与这些企业的合作关系，马斯克则威胁将停用SpaceX唯一能送宇航员前往国际空间站的“龙飞船”。不过，在网络粉丝劝解双方冷静后，马斯克随即发文称不会落实这一决定。
当晚，马斯克也对对冲基金经理Bill Ackman关于他和特朗普应和解的呼吁表示认同，或许暗示仍有缓和余地。
不难看出，这场风暴并非意外。特朗普和马斯克皆以强硬张扬、热衷通过社交媒体反击对手著称，外界早就预测两人迟早会出现裂痕。马斯克近期频繁与政府内阁成员摩擦，在上周离开政府高层后影响力大减。
对于特朗普来说，这是他自第二任期就职以来与高级幕僚的首次重大矛盾。此前，他在2017-2021年任期内屡次更换幕僚长、国家安全顾问等高管，有的如班农仍保持联络，更多人则转为激烈批评者。
马斯克曾是2024年共和党最大金主，并受命主导联邦瘦身和支出削减政策。白宫和国会多次见到他的身影，手中还时常抱着年幼的儿子。就在本次公开冲突发生前的六天，马斯克还在白宫出席活动，双方都承诺继续合作。
如果特朗普与马斯克的争端持续升级，共和党在明年国会中期选举的局面或将更加艰难。马斯克不仅拥有巨大粉丝号召力，还为特朗普牵线硅谷和顶级捐赠人。科再者，马斯克已宣布未来将缩减政治投入。
周四晚，马斯克还在X上向2.2亿粉丝发起投票，问美国是否应该组建真正代表中间派的新政党，加强了与共和党分歧的信号。
Kill Bill 风波
马斯克日前把特朗普自诩的“伟大法案”称作“令人作呕的怪物”，直指其将令联邦赤字雪上加霜，进而加剧了共和党内部对该法案的分裂。中立分析认为，该法案或将让美国债务再增2.4-5万亿美元。
特朗普则反击，称马斯克不满法案是因其取消了电动车税收优惠，并暗示马斯克离开政府后念念不忘。如果说特朗普之前就曾批评政府支出高企，马斯克质疑道：“现在的特朗普去哪儿了？”
马斯克于上任之初曾立志三年削减2万亿美元联邦预算，实际却只实现不足半个百分点，并造成数个部门的调整和震荡。随着马斯克愈发投身政治，其在特斯拉的精力分散导致美国及欧洲多家工厂抗议不断，销售放缓，投资者也忧心其重心失衡。
简而言之，特朗普与马斯克从亲密盟友迅速反目，爆发激烈对抗。双方的分歧不仅动荡股市，更可能扰乱共和党阵营，对未来美国政坛与经济影响深远。

The Beautiful Breakup
The ongoing relationship between former allies Donald Trump and Elon Musk imploded spectacularly on Thursday, igniting a firestorm across social media. The discord began when President Trump, during an Oval Office press event, unleashed sharp criticism at the Tesla and SpaceX CEO. What followed was a rapid, public meltdown, as both men traded barbed statements through their respective platforms—Trump on Truth Social, Musk on X.
Trump, determined to assert control, posted, “Billions of dollars could be saved if we stop handing out government deals to Elon.” This warning sent shockwaves through the markets. Tesla shares suffered their steepest decline in company history, tumbling 14.3% and wiping out $150 billion from its market capitalization.
Musk wasted no time in escalating the battle. He endorsed a suggestion to impeach Trump, posting a curt “Yes” in response to an X poll, even though the Republican-led Congress makes impeachment highly improbable.
The tensions did not arise overnight. Earlier in the week, Musk had openly criticized Trump’s ambitious tax-cut and spending legislation, arguing it would dangerously inflate the nation’s $36.2 trillion debt. After initially holding back, Trump expressed his disillusionment with Musk, stating, “We had a strong partnership before, but I doubt it will continue.”
Musk responded by claiming his financial support and technological clout were decisive for Trump’s victory. Highlighting his $300 million contribution to Trump’s last campaign, Musk wrote, “He wouldn’t have made it without me. How quickly gratitude fades.”
In a more pointed attack, Musk argued that Trump’s recent tariffs could push America into a recession by year’s end. Beyond Tesla, Musk’s companies—including SpaceX and Starlink—have extensive government contracts, some of which are essential to U.S. space operations. In response to Trump’s threats, Musk declared he would begin withdrawing the Dragon spacecraft from service, endangering the country’s sole current means of crewed access to the International Space Station. However, after calls for de-escalation from prominent followers, Musk echoed their advice, indicating Dragon’s decommission was off the table, at least for now.
Late Thursday, Musk took a somewhat conciliatory tone, tentatively agreeing with prominent investor Bill Ackman’s assertion that both men should resolve their dispute.
Unravelling of a Power Alliance
The eventual rupture was foreseeable to many observers. Both Trump and Musk are known for their pugnacious, ego-driven public personas and affinity for dramatic social media spats. In fact, since Musk’s departure from the administration the prior week, his sway within government circles had already diminished following clashes with cabinet members over agency budget cuts.
For Trump, this marks the first significant split with an influential adviser since entering his second term. The former president’s prior stint in office was defined by numerous personal and professional fallouts, with some former insiders remaining allies, and others turning into vocal critics.
Elon Musk became the Republican Party’s most prominent donor during the last election cycle and was tapped to lead radical reforms aimed at shrinking the federal workforce and curbing expenditures. Until recently, Musk was a frequent presence in Washington, often accompanied by his young son.
Just six days before this public rupture, Musk and Trump shared the stage at the White House, offering mutual praise and pledging ongoing cooperation.
A protracted conflict between the two might undermine Republican hopes of staying in control through next year’s midterm elections. Beyond financial influence, Musk’s massive online presence forged critical links for Trump within Silicon Valley and elite donor networks. Musk has also signaled reduced spending in future political contests.
Shortly after the Oval Office incident, Musk polled his vast audience, asking if America should found a centrist party that speaks for the “silent majority.”
Bill Showdown Intensifies Divide
This week, Musk fiercely denounced Trump’s signature fiscal package, calling it an “abomination” that would dramatically worsen the federal deficit, amplifying dissent within Republican ranks and jeopardizing the bill’s Senate prospects. Independent analysts estimate the initiative could inflate the national debt by as much as $5 trillion.
Trump shot back, arguing Musk’s real concern was the revocation of electric vehicle tax breaks, and suggesting Musk missed the White House limelight. “Many leave my administration, then realize what they gave up—some return, others become adversaries,” Trump remarked.
In turn, Musk insisted he would accept EV cuts if the bill eliminated “wasteful pork-barrel spending,” reviving old Trump quotes about out-of-control federal expenditures: “Where’s the guy who used to say this stuff?”
Initially aiming to reduce federal outlays by $2 trillion, Musk departed having made only a fractional dent—while generating upheaval and protests across numerous agencies. His heightened political activism triggered demonstrations at Tesla’s factories in the U.S. and Europe, hurting sales and eroding investor confidence due to concerns over his divided focus.
In summary, the dramatic and public rift between Donald Trump and Elon Musk signals a potentially seismic shift: a partnership once grounded in shared interests has devolved into open rivalry. Beyond the spectacle, the fallout could have tangible impacts on American politics, business, and markets for months to come.
