​A knock-down fight between world’s the richest person and the most powerful politician is playing out in public view.  

A public feud has erupted between Donald Trump and Elon Musk over disagreements regarding Trump’s economic bill and its clean energy incentive cuts. Trump expressed disappointment in Musk’s criticism, while Musk claimed his support was crucial for Trump’s 2024 election victory. The spat escalated with Trump threatening contract cancellations, prompting Musk to announce the decommissioning of SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft.

Elon Musk’s rocket company SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately, the billionaire said on Thursday in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s statement that the government should cancel Musk’s federal contracts.
