By JV Charles, Senior Editor at JVPolitical.com | June 7, 2025
Well, folks, the political world just got a whole lot messier. The bromance between President Donald J. Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk once the stuff of MAGA dreams has gone up in flames, and it’s taken a $150 billion chunk of Tesla’s value with it. As a die-hard Trump supporter and the senior editor here at JVPolitical.com, I’m diving headfirst into this juicy saga to give you the unfiltered, America First scoop. Let’s unpack this wild ride!
Key Takeaways
- Trump and Musk are at war over a $168 billion border security bill, with Musk slamming it as reckless and Trump calling him out for betrayal.
- Tesla’s stock took a 14% nosedive on June 5, 2025, wiping out $150 billion the worst day in the company’s history.
- Trump’s threat to yank federal contracts from Musk’s empire, like SpaceX, sent investors running for the hills.
- MAGA nation is firmly behind Trump, proving his iron grip on the GOP remains unbreakable.
- This clash exposes the fault line between Musk’s tech globalism and Trump’s America First patriotism.
How It All Went Down: A Billionaires’ Brawl
It all started with Trump’s bold $168 billion bill, passed by the House in May 2025, to supercharge border security and immigration enforcement. You’d think Musk, who funneled $275 million into Trump’s 2024 campaign, would be cheering from the sidelines. Nope. Instead, he took to X, blasting the bill as a “budget-busting disaster” that could tank the economy. Ouch.
Trump, being Trump, didn’t take kindly to the shade. He clapped back, calling Musk “disloyal” and floating the idea of pulling federal contracts from Tesla and SpaceX. By June 5, 2025, things got uglier. Musk fired off X posts racking up over 200 million views hinting at Trump’s ties to “shady insiders” and even dragging up old Epstein rumors. Trump shrugged it off, dubbing Musk a “billionaire with too much time on his hands” and doubling down on his contract threats.
The Market’s Meltdown: $150 Billion Up in Smoke
Wall Street wasn’t ready for this heavyweight fight. On June 5, 2025, Tesla’s stock crashed 14%, vaporizing $150 billion in value faster than you can say “MAGA.” It was the single worst day in Tesla’s history. Musk’s wild threat to decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft the only U.S. ride to the International Space Station didn’t help. Investors bolted, and the crypto and tech markets caught the jitters too.
By June 6, Tesla regained a bit of ground, but the scars remain. X users like @StockSlinger420 were fuming about their portfolios, while @MagaMaverick hailed Trump for “putting Musk in his place.” For us MAGA folks, this mess proves one thing: nobody, not even a billionaire, messes with Trump’s vision for America.
Why MAGA’s Got Trump’s Back
Trump’s Still the King of the GOP
When the dust settled, Republicans didn’t hesitate to rally around Trump. Musk may have deep pockets, but Trump’s got the hearts of the base. As one GOP insider put it, “Trump’s the sun in our solar system Musk’s just a comet passing through.” That’s the kind of loyalty that keeps the America First movement unstoppable.
Musk’s Big Mistake: Crossing the MAGA Line
Musk thought he could play both sides backing Trump while pushing his globalist tech dreams. Big mistake. His recent rants about open borders and green energy handouts clash hard with MAGA’s focus on secure borders and economic strength. For us, Trump’s fight for the working man beats Musk’s billionaire whining any day.
Where Do We Go From Here?
As of today, June 7, 2025, Trump’s playing it cool, saying he’s “too busy making America great” to obsess over Musk. But don’t be fooled he’s still got that contract axe hovering over SpaceX and Tesla. Musk, meanwhile, keeps stirring the pot with vague X posts, hinting at more drama to come.
For MAGA patriots, this feud is a wake-up call. Trump’s been through the wringer fake news, witch hunts, and now billionaire betrayals and he’s still standing tall. Here at JVPolitical.com, we’ll keep you posted on every twist and turn. Stay strong, America First!

What sparked the Trump-Musk feud, and why are MAGA supporters siding with Trump?
The feud ignited when Musk publicly trashed Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” a tax-and-spending package that cuts the $7,500 EV tax credit, which Tesla relies on to boost sales. Musk’s criticism, calling the bill an “abomination” and escalating with personal attacks like referencing the Epstein files, enraged Trump and his base. MAGA supporters see Musk’s betrayal as a stab in the back, especially after Trump gave him a symbolic gold key and a platform in the administration via the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). They’re backing Trump because he’s the unapologetic leader who won a landslide, and Musk’s flip-flopping—after bankrolling Trump’s 2024 campaign—smacks of disloyalty. Trump’s threats to cut Tesla’s government contracts and sell his red Tesla Model S resonate with MAGA as a power move against a billionaire who overstepped.
