Donald Trump has reportedly ceased his activity on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), following an escalating public dispute with the Tesla CEO. This cessation comes after a series of sharp criticisms exchanged between the two prominent figures. As of the report date, Trump had not posted anything on X for a week, with his last pinned tweet on June 22 and his last regular tweet on June 25. Despite boasting over 107 million followers on X, Trump has reportedly been frequently using his own Truth Social platform instead.
The public dispute intensified with Donald Trump criticizing Elon Musk, asserting that the Tesla CEO heavily relies on American government subsidies. Trump claimed that without these subsidies, Musk would likely “head back home to South Africa” and would have to “close up shop,” ending rocket launches, satellite ventures, and electric car production. Trump also stated that he was “strongly against the EV Mandate” long before Musk endorsed him for President, calling it “ridiculous”. Furthermore, Trump suggested that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which Musk once led, should investigate the extent of subsidies flowing to Musk’s companies.
In response, Elon Musk condemned Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” describing it as “political suicide for the Republican Party”. Musk also threatened to launch a new political party, “the America Party,” if the spending bill passed in the US Senate. He stated that the country needs an alternative to the “Democrat-Republican uniparty” to give people a voice.
This ongoing dispute highlights contrasting views on government support and political direction between the former President and the billionaire CEO.
