How much money Elon Musk lost because of feud with Donald Trump
Share and Follow

Elon Musk, the divisive former leader of DOGE, has allegedly experienced a significant decline in his personal fortune, with estimates suggesting a loss exceeding $34 billion. This decrease in wealth follows a period of apparent downfall at the White House and a publicized falling out with the US President.

Furthermore, Tesla, the company helmed by Musk, witnessed a substantial drop of more than 14% in its stock value by the close of trading yesterday. This equated to a staggering $150 billion reduction in market capitalization, marking the most significant one-day plunge in the corporation’s history.

This event constitutes the second-largest depletion of Musk’s personal net worth, with the most substantial loss prior to this being recorded in November 2021. The information regarding these financial setbacks can be found in the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, a list that ranks the 500 wealthiest individuals worldwide.

He remains the richest man in the world, with a huge $334.5 billion fortune.

Musk, who officially left the White House last week, reached a peak of nearly $500 billion in the months after Trump’s election success.

The valuation of his companies had surged thanks to the belief they would profit from his close relationship with Trump and his role as head of the Department of Government Efficiency, it was reported.

But his government contracts with the US were on the line last night as he continued to take part in a savage war with words against Donald Trump, with their partnership breaking down over a tax-cut and spending bill.

‘The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

Elon Musk has reportedly lost more than £25billion from his personal net worth after his fall from grace at the White House and very online break up with the US President

The withdrawal would have potentially huge consequences for his Tesla and SpaceX revenue. 

SpaceX has been awarded over $17 billion in government contracts since 2015, according to ABC news. Much of that money comes from NASA and the Department of Defence.

One of Trump’s oldest advisors, Steve Bannon, went further and suggested the government seize SpaceX under the Defense Production Act – a move that would undoubtedly trigger challenges.

Musk, who had threatened to decommission the SpaceX Dragon capsule – a critical lifeline for transporting American astronauts and supplies to the International Space Station – ultimately retreated.

After a user on X suggested he ‘cool off and take a step back for a couple of days’, Musk abruptly posted: ‘Good advice. Ok, we won’t decommission Dragon.’

It was not before he claimed that Trump is ‘in the Epstein files’, suggested that he should be impeached and replaced with 40-year-old Vice President J.D. Vance.

Moments before the Epstein charge, Trump had taken to Truth Social and said he had asked Musk to leave his administration and said the billionaire went ‘CRAZY!’ 

With that, Musk announced that it was ‘time to drop a really big bomb.’

‘@RealDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public,’ Musk wrote. ‘Have a nice day, DJT!’

Jeffrey Epstein is a serial child sex offender who died in prison in 2019.

Trump pledged to release the files related to Epstein, with Attorney General Pam Bondi releasing some pages in February, but most of that information was already in the public domain.

‘Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out,’ Musk added.

Asked for comment, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Daily Mail in a statement: ‘This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted.’

The brawl started when the X-owner had originally campaigned to stop the ‘disgusting abomination’ of the x bill which he believed would contribute too much to the country’s $36.2 trillion debt.

Trump’s big, beautiful bill’ called for getting rid off electric vehicle tax credits – the cause of Musk’s frustration, according to Trump.

Analysts at JPMorgan Chase & Co. estimated that the bill would cut about $1.2 billion from Tesla’s full-year profit.

'Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will any more,' Trump said in the Oval last week

Despite staying quiet at first, Trump then told reporters he was ‘very disappointed’ in Musk and they ‘had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will anymore’.

Musk immediately responded via tweet, saying: ‘Without me, Trump would have lost the election’. He had spent nearly $300 million backing Trump’s campaign among other other Republicans in last year’s election.

However, the drastic drop in net worth might not reveal the true impact on Musk who increasingly relies on his private enterprises as a source, it was reported in Bloomberg.
