Trump and Musk have fallen out over "Big and Beautiful," Vice President JD Vance calls for him to come back.
Since Musk publicly opposed the "Big and Beautiful Act", Trump immediately challenged him and even hinted at canceling government contracts related to TSL and SpaceX, causing TSL's stock price to evaporate by 153 billion dollars in one day. With both sides at a stalemate, Vice President JD Vance had to step in to ease tensions, reaching out to Musk on a program and hoping he would return.
Musk opposes Trump's tax reform bill, the trigger has been exposed.
The cause lies in the "Great and Beautiful Act" strongly promoted by Trump, which mentions "gradually eliminating subsidies for electric vehicle purchases." As the CEO of TSL (Tesla), Musk immediately came out to oppose the bill and questioned whether it would lead to a surge in the fiscal deficit.
Trump publicly retaliates: I saved him, but he is ungrateful.
Trump stated without reservation during an interview on June 7:
"I gave him a chance when I was in power last time, even saved his life, but now he has forgotten my kindness. I don't plan to talk to him again."
Trump further warned Musk:
"If he dares to fund the Democratic candidate, there will be very serious consequences."
After the news broke, TSL's stock price evaporated by 153 billion dollars in a single day, becoming the market's focal point.

Trump hinted at the possibility of canceling the contract with the Musk government.
When asked if he would really cancel the government contracts of Elon Musk's companies SpaceX and TSL, Trump said:
"Of course I can do that, but I haven't really thought about it seriously right now."
It remains to be seen whether Trump will use his power to retaliate against Musk in the future.
Vice President Vance stepped in as a mediator, hoping that Musk would come back.
Seeing that both sides are deadlocked, Vice President JD Vance stated during an interview on June 7:
"I hope Musk can come back to our side."
According to reports, Vance used "peaceful dialogue" to win back Musk under Trump's private instructions, in order to prevent the incident from escalating further.
Trump emphasized that the bill has passed, and Musk cannot block it.
Despite considerable opposition from Musk, Trump still stated:
"He doesn't have the ability to block this bill, I am confident that this bill will pass before July 4th."
Currently, there are still enough votes within the Republican Party to support the passage of this proposal.
