Trump Vows to Slash Elon Musk’s Subsidies, Musk Responds with Call for Impeachment

Report by “Safarti Tarjuman” International News Desk

U.S. President Donald Trump launched a fiery attack against tech mogul Elon Musk on Thursday, threatening to terminate all federal subsidies and government contracts tied to the billionaire’s companies.

Posting on Truth Social, Trump accused Musk of ungratefulness and criticized his business interests, particularly electric vehicles (EVs).
“Elon was wearing thin,” Trump wrote. “I asked him to leave. I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted… and he just went CRAZY!”

In another post, Trump added “The easiest way to save billions in our budget is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!”

In response to the outburst, Elon Musk did not hold back. Reacting to a social media post suggesting that Trump should be impeached and replaced by Senator JD Vance, Musk simply replied: “Yes.”

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO also issued a stark economic warning, stating that Trump’s proposed global tariffs would “cause a recession in the second half of this year.”

The public spat marks a sharp escalation in tensions between two of the most influential figures in American politics and business. Once seen as informal allies, the Trump-Musk relationship has deteriorated rapidly, with both men now exchanging pointed criticisms across digital platforms.

Trump’s remarks about removing the EV mandate appear to reference his rollback of Obama-era environmental and EV policies, which benefited companies like Tesla. However, Musk has repeatedly asserted that his firms could survive without government assistance, even as they remain involved in contracts with NASA, the Department of Defense, and various clean energy initiatives.

What’s at Stake?

• Federal Subsidies: Tesla has received tax incentives for electric vehicles, while SpaceX holds multibillion-dollar contracts with NASA and the Pentagon.
• Trade Policy Impact: Musk’s warning about a recession comes amid Trump’s renewed push for aggressive tariffs on global imports, a stance that critics say could disrupt supply chains and raise consumer prices.

With the 2024 presidential race still influencing national debate, the feud between Trump and Musk could have ripple effects in both political and financial arenas. Trump remains the presumptive Republican nominee, while Musk commands immense influence over tech, energy, and investor sentiment.

Observers now watch closely to see whether the federal government will move to re-evaluate contracts with Musk’s companies, or if this is merely campaign rhetoric escalating into a tech-political clash.
