The probe is earlier than the current Trump administration and highlights concern for the number of foreign nationals in Musk’s orbit. It runs five companies, including Spacex, that have sensitive government contracts and has unprecedented access to the maximum government officials.
Trump’s current administration raised his concern about the prevalence and influence of foreigners in the country, and the president recently imposed prohibitions for travel and restrictions on more than a dozen countries and foreign students who register at North -American universities.
According to Insiders, it was assumed that there was tension between Trump and Musk, even before the mass fall that happened last week, as Musk worked with foreign nationals while working as part of the Trump administration.
Musk often traveled with foreigners, and did so to the extent that his Super Pac’s staff, who donated $ 250 million to Trump’s election campaign and began last year with the sole purpose of helping to re -election Trump, worried about who would join Musk at meetings and events, two individuals known with the group’s operations said to the WSJ.
An official at Musk’s America Pac said they had to institute a wide review to prevent foreigners from being out of their efforts. Two campaign employees also said they were concerned about the catalog of Musk’s foreign national connections.
Musk, the richest man in the world, has established his own relationship with heads of state around the world, often in strange ways. The WSJ reported last October that Musk had been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin since the end of 2022, and also that his contacts with foreign nationals led Spacex’s lawyers to advise more security authorization on fears that his relationships could have to explain or that their authorization would revoke entirely.
As a head and founder of Spacex, Musk has a more secret security authorization that gives him access to numerous national secrets. He has had it since 2002.
The tensions emerged between the two after Musk criticized Trump’s “great and beautiful bill”, which includes a disposition that would eliminate the credit of the $ 7,500 electric vehicle tax, designed to encourage people to buy electric vehicles.
Trump later headed to his real social platform to crush Musk. The feud lasted a lot at night, with the insults and threats stronger every minute, while the memes sprouted the internet on the disorderly “break” of the “bromance” couple’s oval office.
During his meeting with the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on Thursday, Trump seemed to have suggested that Elon Musk has “Trump Derangement Syndrome”, as he said that his former advisor was “disturbed” by a reduction in electric vehicle tax mandate in his “big and beautiful bill”.
Musk responded to Trump in real time in X. “Whatever it is. Keep the cuts of EV/Solar incentives in the bill, although no oil and gas grants are not touched (very unfair! “In the entire history of civilization, there has never been great and beautiful legislation. Everyone knows! Either you get a big and ugly bill or a beautiful and beautiful bill. Slim and Bell is the way.”
He later wrote that Trump had never shown the bill as the President stated, writing: “False, this bill never showed me once and spent the night so fast that almost no one in Congress could not even read it!”
Musk then struck Trump’s “ingratitude” on X on Thursday, claiming that Trump “would have lost the election” if it had not been for Musk’s help.
“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, DEMS would control the chamber, and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Musk wrote in a shutter now suppressed. “Such ingratitude,” he replied.
Trump responded to Truth Social, writing three blatant publications, the first of which said, “Elon was” bringing “thin”, I asked him to leave, I won the EV’s mandate that forced everyone to buy electric cars that no one else wanted (who knew he had been going to do for months!), And he only went crazy! “
He then threatened Nix Musk’s contracts with the federal government: “The easiest way to save money in our budget, billions and billions of dollars, is to terminate Elon’s government subsidies and government contracts. I was always surprised that Biden did not!”
What irritated the most, however, seemed to be the calendar of bromance break. “I don’t care about Elon’s back against me, but he should have done so months ago,” the President wrote. “This is one of the biggest invoices ever presented in Congress. This is a record of expenses, $ 1.6 trillion and the largest tax reduction ever given. If this bill does not happen, there will be an increase of 68% taxes and things are very worse than this. I have not created this mess, I am here to solve it. America. ”
This prompted Musk to broadcast the wildest message of the feud, accusing Trump of being in Epstein files, which, he theorized, is why Trump will not make them public.
“@Realonaldrump is in Epstein files. This is the real reason they have not been made public,” Musk on X. “wrote a good day, DJT!”
He also threatened to completely cancel the Spacex Dragon program.
