Donald Trump has attacked Elon Musk as “crazy” and threatened to rip up his government contracts, as the spat between two of the world’s most powerful men erupted into an all-out public feud.
In a flurry of bitter comments in the Oval Office and online on Thursday, the US president said he was “very disappointed” in Musk for criticising his signature tax bill, suggested he had “become hostile” after being turfed out of government, and accused the billionaire of intervening in politics to serve his business interests.
Musk, who spent more than $250mn bankrolling Trump’s re-election bid last year and said in February that he loved the president “as much as a straight man can love another man”, returned fire on X.
The billionaire called for Trump to be impeached, suggested his trade tariffs would cause a US recession, threatened to decommission SpaceX capsules used to transport Nasa astronauts and insinuated the president was associated with the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The enmity deepened through the day, opening a breach that could widen long into Trump’s presidency and even influence US electoral politics, with Musk talking of starting a new party and removing Republicans from office.

唐纳德・特朗普攻击埃隆・马斯克 “疯狂”，并威胁要撕毁他的政府合同，两位全球最有权势人物之间的口角演变为一场全面公开的 feud。
在周四椭圆形办公室和网络上的一连串尖刻评论中，这位美国总统表示，他对马斯克批评其标志性税收法案 “非常失望”，暗示马斯克在被赶出政府后 “变得敌对”，并指责这位亿万富翁为了商业利益干预政治。
马斯克去年花费超过 2.5 亿美元资助特朗普连任竞选，并在 2 月称他 “像直男爱另一个男人一样” 爱这位总统。他在 X 平台上进行了反击。
这位亿万富翁呼吁弹劾特朗普，暗示其贸易关税将导致美国经济衰退，威胁要让用于运送美国宇航局宇航员的 SpaceX 太空舱退役，并影射总统与已故恋童癖者杰弗里・爱泼斯坦有关联。
敌意一整天都在加深，打开了一道裂痕，这一裂痕可能在特朗普整个总统任期内不断扩大，甚至影响美国选举政治。马斯克谈到要组建新政党，并将共和党人赶下台。

Trump, who had previously defended Musk against charges of corruption and self-dealing, said the Tesla boss had soured on his “big beautiful bill” because it would end policies that benefited the electric-car maker.
“I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Thursday afternoon.
“The easiest way to save money in our Budget . . . is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts,” he added, in an apparent threat to end billions of dollars’ worth of business between the US government and Musk’s companies, including SpaceX and Starlink.
Musk, who is upset that the tax bill now before the Senate would increase the US deficit, accused the president of lying about his motives.

特朗普此前曾为马斯克涉嫌腐败和假公济私的指控辩护，他表示，这位特斯拉老板之所以对其 “伟大而美好的法案” 产生反感，是因为该法案将终止有利于这家电动汽车制造商的政策。
“我取消了他的电动车强制令 —— 这个强制所有人购买没人想要的电动车的政策（他几个月前就知道我要这么做！），结果他就疯了！” 特朗普周四下午在 Truth Social 上写道。
“在我们的预算中省钱最简单的方法…… 就是终止埃隆的政府补贴和合同，” 他补充道，这显然是在威胁要终止美国政府与马斯克旗下公司（包括 SpaceX 和 Starlink）价值数十亿美元的业务往来。
马斯克对参议院目前审议的税收法案将增加美国财政赤字感到不满，他指责总统谎报了自己的动机。

The exchanges were an extraordinary escalation of the feud between Trump and Musk, who had refrained from criticising the president directly even as he opposed the White House’s trade and tax policies.
The billionaire, who in April began his retreat from politics because of the “blowback” against his businesses, also suggested that he now regretted backing Trump during last year’s White House race.
“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” he posted on his social media site X soon after the Oval Office tirade. “Such ingratitude.”
Shares in Tesla fell by almost 11 per cent following Trump’s remarks and were down 13.5 per cent on the day, wiping more than $150bn from its market valuation — its biggest one-day drop in value ever.
Musk, the US’s largest political donor, also suggested that Republican lawmakers should side with him over the president.

这些交锋标志着特朗普与马斯克之间的 feud 出现非同寻常的升级 —— 此前即便马斯克反对白宫的贸易和税收政策，他也一直避免直接批评总统。
这位亿万富翁因企业遭受 “负面冲击”，于 4 月开始退出政治活动。他还暗示，如今后悔在去年总统选举中支持特朗普。
“没有我，特朗普会输掉选举，民主党会控制众议院，参议院共和党席位会是 51 比 49，” 椭圆形办公室那场激烈指责后不久，他在自己的社交媒体平台 X 上写道，“如此忘恩负义。”
特朗普发表言论后，特斯拉股价暴跌近 11%，当日累计下跌 13.5%，市值蒸发超 1500 亿美元 —— 这是其有史以来最大单日市值跌幅。
作为美国最大的政治捐赠者，马斯克还暗示共和党议员应站在他这边，而非支持总统。

“Some food for thought as they ponder this question: Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years,” the billionaire wrote on X.
He also hit back at Trump’s suggestion that he had opposed the “big beautiful bill” because it axed tax credits for electric vehicles and clean energy, which have long benefited Tesla in the US.
“Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil & gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill,” Musk posted.
The deepening discord between Trump and “first buddy” Musk has in recent days spread through Washington.
Last week, Trump pulled the nomination of billionaire astronaut Jared Isaacman, a close ally of Musk, to lead Nasa, ostensibly over contributions he had made to Democratic candidates in the past.
Isaacman, who was on track to receive bipartisan support from the Senate, disputed the White House’s justification for the decision.

“在他们思考这个问题时，不妨想想：特朗普还有 3.5 年总统任期，而我会存在 40 多年，” 这位亿万富翁在 X 上写道。
特朗普暗示马斯克反对 “伟大而美好的法案” 是因为该法案取消了电动汽车和清洁能源税收抵免（这些政策长期以来让特斯拉在美国受益），马斯克对此进行了反击。
“保留法案中对电动汽车 / 太阳能激励措施的削减 —— 尽管石油和天然气补贴丝毫未动（非常不公平！！），但要剔除法案中堆积如山的恶心政治分肥，” 马斯克发帖称。
特朗普与 “第一好友” 马斯克之间日益加深的不和，近日已蔓延至华盛顿。
上周，特朗普撤回了对亿万富翁宇航员贾里德・艾萨克曼（马斯克的亲密盟友）领导美国国家航空航天局（Nasa）的提名，表面理由是其过去曾向民主党候选人捐款。
艾萨克曼原本有望获得参议院的 bipartisan 支持，他对白宫这一决定的理由提出了质疑。

“I don’t think the timing was much of a coincidence,” Isaacman told the All-In podcast on Wednesday. “There [were] some people that had some axes to grind, I guess, and I was a good, visible target.”
Musk had already announced that he was stepping back from his involvement in the Trump administration, where he had led the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (Doge).
Steve Davis, one of Musk’s lieutenants at SpaceX who led Doge on a day-to-day basis, had also now left the administration, according to a government official.
More senior figures close to the billionaire were set to abandon the initiative in the coming days, the official said.
Musk himself has suggested that the tax bill would wipe out any savings made by Doge, which claims to have identified roughly $180bn in cuts to date. On Wednesday, the congressional fiscal watchdog said the legislation would add $2.4tn to the US debt by 2034.

“我认为时间上并非巧合，” 艾萨克曼周三在 All-In 播客中表示，“我猜有些人别有用心，而我是个明显的好靶子。”
马斯克此前已宣布将退出特朗普政府的相关事务，他曾在政府中领导所谓的政府效率部（Doge）。
据一名政府官员透露，马斯克在 SpaceX 的副手之一、日常领导 Doge 的史蒂夫・戴维斯（Steve Davis）如今也已离开政府。
该官员称，更多与这位亿万富翁关系密切的高层人物准备在未来几天放弃这一计划。
马斯克本人暗示，该税收法案将抵消 Doge 实现的所有节余 —— 该部门声称迄今已确定约 1800 亿美元的削减额。周三，国会财政监督机构表示，该立法到 2034 年将使美国债务增加 24 万亿美元。
