Trump further suggested that the Tesla boss became "hostile" after he was sent out of his administration, and alleged that the billionaire only interfered in politics to serve his business's interest.

He then called for the impeachment of President Trump, saying that the trade tariff would lead the country to recession and that he would decommission SpaceX capsules, which were used to transport NASA astronauts. He also alleged that Trump has a connection with the late paed@phile Jeffrey Epstein.
Effects of Elon Musk and Donald Trump's rift

On the other hand, Trump, who had defended the Tesla boss against self-dealing and corruption, now vowed to end the policies that benefited Musk's business, the electric car.
Trump wrote on Truth Social on Thursday afternoon:
“I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!”
