The world's richest man could lose billions in his fight with world's most powerful politician. The feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump could mean Tesla's plans for self-driving cars hit a roadblock, SpaceX flies fewer missions for NASA, Starlink gets fewer overseas satellite contracts and the social media platform X loses advertisers. Maybe, that is. It all depends on Trump's appetite for revenge and how the dispute unfolds. Joked Telemetry Insight auto analyst Sam Abuelsamid, Since Trump has no history of retaliating against perceived adversaries, he'll probably just let this pass. Turning serious, he sees trouble ahead for Musk. For someone that rants so much about government pork, all of Elon's businesses are extremely dependent on government largesse, which makes him vulnerable. Trump and the federal government also stand to lose from a long-running dispute, but not as much as Musk. Tesla robotaxis: The dispute comes just a week before a planned test of Tesla's driverle

Musk's threat to pull Dragon capsule leaves Nasa reliant solely on Russia

As President Donald Trump and Elon Musk argued on social media on Thursday, the world's richest man threatened to decommission a space capsule used to take astronauts and supplies to the International Space Station.
