Trump reveals what he plans to do to his
A public fallout between Donald Trump and Elon Musk has sparked questions about the fate of Trump’s recently purchased Tesla. Musk stepped down from his role in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), initially thanking Trump for the opportunity. However, tensions escalated when Musk criticized Trump’s “big beautiful bill,” claiming it would raise the national deficit by \$3 trillion. Musk later accused Trump of being named in the Epstein files, while Trump fired back on Truth Social, claiming he removed Musk due to dissatisfaction with his performance and his opposition to the EV mandate.
The feud appears irreparable, with Trump reportedly calling Musk a man who’s “lost his mind” and expressing no interest in reconciliation. Amid the conflict, a White House official confirmed Trump plans to sell or give away the red Tesla Model S he purchased in March for staff use. Trump originally bought the vehicle to show support for the brand and to respond to vandalism targeting Teslas. With their relationship now soured, Trump is distancing himself from Musk—even down to the car he once bought from him.
