“DISLOYALTY” – Trump Threatens Elon Musk’s Govt. Deals After GOP Clash, Tesla Crash and NASA Fallout

Tensions between U.S President Donald Trump and Elon Musk have reached a boiling point. In this video, we break down the most dramatic moments — from Trump saying he’s “not thinking about Elon,” to potential reviews of Tesla’s billion-dollar federal contracts. We also cover the fallout: a $150 billion Tesla stock crash, Musk’s public condemnation of Trump’s tax bill, and the revocation of support for Musk ally Jared Isaacman at NASA. Is this the beginning of a political war between the most powerful man in America and the richest man in the world? #TrumpVsMusk #ElonMusk #DonaldTrump #TeslaCrash #WhiteHouseDrama #PoliticalFeud #Tesla #GOP #ElonVsTrump #MuskNews #USPolitics #Trump2025 #BreakingNews #SpaceX #TechVsPolitics Also Read Trump vs Musk Meme War Takes Over X: Internet Reacts With Hilarious Posts :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-vs-musk-meme-war-takes-over-x-internet-reacts-with-hilarious-posts-4174187.html?ref=DMDesc Trump vs Musk: Billionaire Battle Turns Ugly With Epstein Taunt, SpaceX Heat :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-vs-musk-billionaire-battle-turns-ugly-with-epstein-taunt-spacex-heat-4173783.html?ref=DMDesc Elon Musk's Tesla 'Not Interested' In Manufacturing EVs In India: Union Minister Kumaraswamy :: https://www.oneindia.com/business/elon-musks-tesla-not-interested-in-manufacturing-evs-in-india-union-minister-kumaraswamy-4170195.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.274~GR.125~ED.346~

The decision comes just days before Isaacman’s long-delayed Senate confirmation vote. With no clear explanation from Trump, the space industry is left reeling. Is this a political snub to Musk? What does it mean for NASA’s future under budget cuts, leadership uncertainty, and mounting space race pressures?
