The feud escalated as Musk claimed Trump would have lost the 2024 election without his support and floated the idea of forming a new political party. Musk criticized Trump’s spending bill, calling it full of "disgusting pork" and highlighting unfair cuts to EV and solar incentives.

Tesla shares dropped 11.6% amid the conflict. Trump said he was "very disappointed" by Musk’s opposition, accusing him of jealousy over losing his White House role.
