Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dave Mattingley. The feud between President Trump and

Elon Musk is escalating less than a week after the billionaire left his role overseeing the

President's Department of Government Efficiency. Musk has been critical of the massive Republican

tax and spending cut bill backed by Trump and passed by the House,

calling it an abomination that will explode federal deficits.

Now on social media, Musk says Trump would have lost the election last year without his support

and calls Trump ungrateful.

The president is suggesting federal contracts and subsidies involving Musk's businesses be canceled to save the government billions of dollars.

Shares of Tesla dropped sharply yesterday after the public back and forth between Trump and Elon Musk.

It closed off more than 14 percent.

in four hours. Tesla stock soared after the election, as investors hoped Musk's closeness with

Trump would pay off for his companies. But shares fell as they began to worry instead that Musk's work

at Doge was alienating customers and distracting him from being a CEO.

Now the two men have very publicly fallen out. And now Musk says the reason the file on convicted sex

trafficker Jeffrey Epstein is being kept secret is because Trump's in that file. Tesla stock saw one of

its largest single-day drops in years.
