Donald Trump and Elon Musk have ended their partnership following disagreements over policy and leadership strategies. The US President cited Musk’s opposition to federal spending as a primary factor in the split. This decision impacts Tesla and SpaceX, including the cancellation of electric vehicle mandates and subsidies previously agreed upon by both parties. Analysts are analyzing the potential economic consequences for Musk’s companies. Trump claims that his cancellation of Tesla’s mandate was a necessary step to reassert control over U.S. innovation policy. The future of US innovation efforts will be significantly affected, especially as businesses adjust to this shift in funding priorities.
