Trump vs Musk: The public fallout between U.S. President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk continues to make waves, with comments about red Teslas, Starlink loyalty, and an alleged White House altercation now grabbing attention. Here’s everything that unfolded.
Trump vs Musk
In an unusual and widely discussed series of remarks, U.S. President Donald Trump opened up about his increasingly strained relationship with tech mogul Elon Musk. The friction between the two powerful figures has recently come into sharp public focus, following what many now refer to as a very public “breakup.”
The tension seems to have reached the White House driveway, where Trump, who once proudly supported Musk, hinted at removing his red Tesla Model S from the premises. He said that while the car may be moved, he had no intention of cutting ties with Starlink, Musk’s satellite internet service. According to Trump, Starlink is a “good service” that he plans to continue using, despite his now cautious stance toward its founder.
Trump elaborated during a White House event when asked if he might sell the Tesla. He responded, somewhat jokingly, that he might “move the Tesla around a little bit,” but didn’t believe action would be taken against Starlink. He added, in typical Trumpian flair, “I have a lot of locations. Actually, I got so many locations that I don’t know what to do with them all,” deflecting further on whether the vehicle would be removed permanently or simply relocated.
But the drama doesn’t end with a luxury electric vehicle. The deeper rift appears to have emerged from reports of a possible physical confrontation involving Musk and Trump’s Treasury Secretary, Scott Bass. The alleged altercation was said to have occurred just steps from the Oval Office. When asked about it, Trump confirmed there had been an argument but denied witnessing any physical fight himself. “I didn’t see a lot of physicality there,” he remarked, casting doubt on the intensity of the reported incident.
Another controversial point raised during the exchange involved Musk’s alleged drug use. Trump was asked whether he believed Musk, who served in an advisory role during parts of the administration, ever used prescription or illegal drugs while at the White House. Trump offered a vague response, saying he wasn’t sure and choosing not to strongly deny the possibility. However, he added that he “wished the world’s richest man well,” indicating a complicated mix of disapproval and lingering respect.
This developing feud is rapidly becoming a defining subplot in both tech and political spheres, especially as Musk’s ventures like Tesla and Starlink remain highly integrated into government projects. Whether or not the red Tesla gets quietly driven off the lawn of the White House, it’s clear that the Musk-Trump relationship has taken a dramatic turn—and Washington, along with Silicon Valley, is watching closely.
