Overview

  • Elon Musk labeled the “big beautiful bill” a “disgusting abomination” and urged voters to fire supportive politicians.
  • Trump has significantly scaled back Oval Office interactions and Truth Social posts since Musk’s criticism surfaced.
  • The policy dispute centers on Musk’s business interests, including cuts to electric vehicle tax credits and exclusion of SpaceX’s Starlink from air traffic control plans.
  • Hosts on The Tonight Show, The Daily Show and other late-night programs have mocked both figures, with Stephen Colbert calling them “narcissistic megalomaniacs.”
  • The public feud marks a rare rift between the president and a former close ally whose companies wield major economic and political influence.
