Elon Musk could lose billions depending on how spat with Trump unfolds

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. After Trump threatened to cut government contracts given to Musk's SpaceX rocket company and his Starlink internet satellite services, Musk responded via X that SpaceX "will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately. It's unclear how serious Musk's threat was. But the capsule, developed with the help of government contracts, is an important part of keeping the space station running. NASA also relies heavily on SpaceX for other programmes, including launching science missions and, later this decade, returning astronauts to the surface of the moon. The Dragon capsule SpaceX is the only US company capable right now of transporting crews to and from the space station, using its four-person Dragon capsules. Boeing's Starliner capsule has flown astronauts only
