Trump, Musk Feud Deepens Over Subsidy Dispute

President Trump reiterated he has no plans to speak with Elon Musk after their public feud over the president's tax and spending bill, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Trump accused Musk of opposing the bill due to the absence of electric vehicle subsidies for Tesla. Despite mutual allies attempting to mediate, Trump described Musk as someone who 'has a problem' and said he would not be speaking to him, though he wished him well. Trump also reportedly intends to sell or give away his Tesla, which he purchased earlier this year, as a symbol of their falling out. Musk, who had previously threatened to decommission the Dragon spacecraft, has backed off from that stance and responded positively to suggestions for reconciliation. The ongoing dispute has overshadowed White House efforts to refocus public attention on economic issues.
