Political strategist, NBC News Analyst and head honcho over at EVPolitics.org, Mike Murphy is BACK on the show to talk about the explosive feud between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump. Ignited by Trump’s spending bill that cut EV tax credits, Musk resigned from his White House advisory role and slammed the bill as a “disgusting abomination.” We explore whether this “Galactic Hissyfit,” as Murphy termed it on X, is a policy dispute or an ego clash, and analyze Trump’s threats to slash Tesla’s subsidies and SpaceX contracts, which triggered a 14% Tesla stock drop and a 5% rebound. Murphy weighs the impact of Musk’s provocative moves, like threatening to decommission SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, on his credibility with Trump’s base and Tesla’s customers. We also discuss the feud’s potential to disrupt GOP fundraising and political alliances ahead of the midterms, questioning if Musk and Trump can reconcile or if this rift will reshape Tesla’s future.
