In a surprise move, Donald Trump clarified Thursday that he won’t pull federal subsidies from Elon Musk — despite growing friction between the two titans.
On Truth Social, Trump wrote:
“I want Elon, and all businesses in our Country, to THRIVE… The better they do, the better the USA does.”
This comes amid speculation Trump might cut funding for Musk’s ventures, especially after xAI landed a $200M Pentagon contract to expand U.S. defense AI.

Praise → Political Crossfire
• Musk slammed Trump’s proposed “One Big Beautiful Bill” as a “disgusting abomination.”
• Trump clapped back, joking:
“No more rockets, no more EVs… send him back to South Africa?”
• Musk later apologized, but tensions remain.
⸻
Washington Wavers
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt hinted Trump may still question Musk’s federal ties. DOJ contracts involving Grok (xAI’s AI chatbot) could face review.
Meanwhile, Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic all hold similar $200M Pentagon deals — yet Elon bears the brunt of political heat. 👀
⸻
Big Picture
• Musk’s empire spans Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, and xAI.
• Trump’s support? Uncertain and volatile.
• Billions in AI and tech contracts may hang on politics, not performance.
Will Elon ride out the storm — or face a strategic cut?
One tweet could flip everything. 📉
