However, after receiving advice on social media, Musk reversed his decision just hours later, stating, "Ok, we won’t decommission Dragon." This back-and-forth highlights the ongoing tensions between Musk and Trump, particularly regarding fiscal policies and government contracts. Amid a bitter public feud with President Donald Trump on Thursday, business tycoon Elon Musk announced that SpaceX would start "decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately," only to reverse course hours later. Musk made the initial announcement about decommissioning Dragon after President Donald Trump issued a post on Truth Social declaring, "The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!" Musk fired back in a post on X, "In light of the President’s statement about cancellation of my government contracts, @SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately." **MUSK SAYS TRUMP WOULD HAVE LOST 2024 ELECTION WITHOUT HIM AS ‘BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL’ FEUD CONTINUES** Left: Elon Musk is photographed at SpaceX in Brownsville, Texas; Right: President Donald Trump speaks during a swearing in ceremony for interim U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C.

We will continue to work with our industry partners to ensure the President’s objectives in space are met." Musk did an about-face a little more than five hours after his initial Dragon decommission declaration. An account on X with the handle @Fab25june wrote to Musk, "This is a shame this back and forth. You are both better than this. Cool off and take a step back for a couple days." "Good advice. Ok, we won’t decommission Dragon," Musk replied. **ELON MUSK USES TRUMP'S 2013 WORDS ON DEBT CEILING AGAINST HIM** While Trump is championing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that cleared the House last month, Elon Musk is aiming to kill the measure, which he has described as "a disgusting abomination." The national debt is more than $36 trillion, and Musk is sounding the alarm about the nation's fiscal problems. **INVESTOR NIGHTMARE: HOW THE TRUMP-MUSK FALLOUT IS CRUSHING TESLA STOCK** **GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE** "I don’t mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago. This is one of the Greatest Bills ever presented to Congress. It’s a Record Cut in Expenses, $1.6 Trillion Dollars, and the Biggest Tax Cut ever given. If this Bill doesn’t pass, there will be a 68% Tax Increase, and things far worse than that. I didn’t create this mess, I’m just here to FIX IT. This puts our Country on a Path of Greatness. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Trump declared in a Truth Social post on Thursday. ### Related Stocks - [DXYZ.US - Destiny Tech100](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/DXYZ.US.md) - [TSLA.US - Tesla](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLA.US.md) ## Related News & Research | Title | Description | URL | |-------|-------------|-----| | 天价 IPO 遇上玄学！SpaceX 拟 6 月上市，赶上 “行星连珠” 与马斯克生日 | SpaceX 瞄准 6 月中旬上市，届时木星和金星将出现三年多来首次近距离相合，几天后水星也将与这两颗行星形成对角线排列，另一个考量马斯克的生日（6 月 28 日）也在期间。据悉 SpaceX 计划融资规模高达 500 亿美元，估值约 1. | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/273939998.md) | | SpaceX 计划于 2027 年发射星链二代卫星，瞄准 5G 级体验 | SpaceX 计划在 2027 年推出第二代蜂窝星链系统，旨在实现接近地面 5G 体验的卫星直连服务。该计划基于一项价值约 170 亿美元的频谱收购，并需完成终端芯片适配与发射 1.5 万颗新卫星等技术准备。SpaceX 表示，第二代系统容 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/273355863.md) | | 高院否决，特朗普将被迫退税！华尔街 “早就下注”，商务部长儿子甚至一度参与 | 去年 10 月投资机构以每美元 20-40 美分的折扣价从进口商手中购入关税退款索赔权，单笔交易规模多在 200 万至 2000 万美元。投资者有望获得超 8 倍回报。但退款前景仍存不确定性，涉及金额达数十亿美元，各方仍在观望。 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276502404.md) | | 特朗普新加征关税税率加码至 15% 美政府 “越权” 关税引企业诉讼潮 | 美国最高法院裁定特朗普政府的关税政策 “越权”，特朗普随即宣布自 2026 年 2 月 24 日起对所有国家商品加征 10% 进口关税，并于 21 日将税率提升至 15%。此举引发数百家企业提起诉讼，要求退还因特朗普关税政策支付的额外关税款 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276522156.md) | | 传言成真？英伟达对 OpenAI 的 “1000 亿美元投资” 最终 “打了三折” | 据报道，英伟达正接近敲定对 OpenAI 最高 300 亿美元的股权投资，取代此前官宣的 1000 亿美元合作框架。原有协议因条款分歧与内部疑虑未能落地，黄仁勋亦曾强调其不具约束力。此次新融资轮规模或超 1000 亿美元，OpenAI 估值 | [Link](https://longbridge.com/en/news/276507066.md) | --- > **Disclaimer**: This article is for reference only and does not constitute any investment advice.
