<p>President Donald Trump continued his tirade against his former senior adviser, Elon Musk, on Thursday, posting on social media that Musk &#8220;just went CRAZY!&#8221; and threatening to strip government contracts with his companies.</p>
<p>Trump posted about Musk on Truth Social as the Tesla and SpaceX owner took to his social media platform, X, to call out the president for pushing the &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill.&#8221; The back-and-forth started when Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday that he was &#8220;very disappointed&#8221; with Musk&#8217;s criticism of his signature piece of legislation.</p>
<p>&#8220;Elon was &#8216;wearing thin,&#8217; I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!&#8221; the president <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114632206992330264">wrote</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114632206992330264">added</a> in a follow-up post. &#8220;I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!&#8221;</p>
<p>Musk responded to Trump&#8217;s posts, calling them &#8220;an obvious lie.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So sad,&#8221; Musk added.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Such an obvious lie. So sad. <a href="https://t.co/sOu9vqMVfX">https://t.co/sOu9vqMVfX</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1930698237650026675?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 5, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Musk also <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1930698593100599462">mocked</a> Trump&#8217;s threat to end the government contracts with SpaceX, writing, &#8220;This just gets better and better. Go ahead, make my day.&#8221;</p>
<p>SpaceX holds numerous contracts with the federal government, including for space transportation, satellite launches, and internet services. The federal government recently <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/spacex-ula-expected-clinch-multibillion-dollar-contract-key-pentagon-launch-2025-04-04/">signed</a> a $13.5 billion contract with SpaceX, along with United Launch Alliance and Blue Origin, to launch sensitive Pentagon satellites into space.</p>

<p>Musk&#8217;s electric vehicle company, Tesla, has also received government contracts and subsidies through the years, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/elon-musk-tesla-biden-federal-contract-electric-vehicles-donald-trump-f8f5b07d03f6e0c9d072abd69feedec4">raking</a> in over $40 million from the federal government.</p>
<p>The fallout between Trump and Musk stems from Musk&#8217;s belief that the president’s bill doesn’t do enough to cut waste and fraud in the federal government. He is also concerned about the &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; adding to the federal deficit. Trump said on Thursday that Musk &#8220;only developed the problem [with the bill] when he found out we’re going to have to cut the EV [electric vehicle] mandate,&#8221; a claim that Musk denied.</p>
<p>“Whatever. Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil &amp; gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill,&#8221; Musk said. &#8220;In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this! Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim and beautiful bill. Slim and beautiful is the way.”</p>
<p>Just last week, Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/will-only-grow-stronger-musk-says-its-still-the-beginning-of-doge-as-he-steps-back-from-role">held</a> a friendly press conference with Musk, announcing his transition away from the White House. During the press conference in the Oval Office, Musk said he would &#8220;continue to be visiting here, and be a friend and an adviser to the president.&#8221;</p>
