Trump Threatens Subsidy Cuts, Audit of Musk's Companies

President Donald Trump publicly renewed his feud with Elon Musk on Tuesday, threatening to cut subsidies for Musk's companies and scrutinize them through DOGE.
The conflict escalated due to Congress voting on a spending bill that would raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion and reduce green energy tax credits, including electric vehicle incentives.
Musk criticized the bill as a 'disgusting abomination' undermining his previous government efficiency work, and threatened to back primary challenges against Republicans supporting it.
Tesla stock fell nearly 5% premarket on Tuesday as analyst Dan Ives linked the decline to the Musk-Trump feud and uncertainty over future subsidies and policies.
This public dispute suggests continued political instability around EV mandates and government spending, with Musk proposing a new political party to represent moderate voters.
