Trump vs. Elon Musk: The Tax Bill Feud Shaking Washington

World In Focus: Washington is witnessing one of its most dramatic political showdowns of the year! President Donald Trump’s new multitrillion-dollar tax and spending bill—dubbed the “One Big, Beautiful Bill”—is shaking up Wall Street, Washington, and Silicon Valley. The legislation extends Trump-era tax cuts, slashes social safety net programs, and eliminates the $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit—a direct hit on Tesla and Elon Musk’s clean energy ambitions. In response, Musk has called the bill “insane” and warned it could bankrupt America. He’s now threatening to fund primary challengers against lawmakers supporting the bill. Trump fired back with personal jabs, and the feud has since escalated on social media and in political circles. With the 2026 primaries on the horizon, this fight is more than personal—it’s about the future of US fiscal policy, clean energy, and political influence.
