Just 30 minutes ago, President Donald Trump caused a stir when he asked billionaire Elon Musk, Chairman of Tesla and SpaceX, to “leave the United States immediately.” Immediately after, Elon Musk did not stay silent. He declared defiantly: “If you want to use your power to oppress others, I will make public what you…
This warning came after days of escalating tensions between the White House and Musk, especially related to the rumors about Trump’s health spreading on the X platform (formerly Twitter) controlled by Musk.
Trump said bluntly: “Elon Musk has betrayed this country. If he thinks he can stand above the President of the United States, he is mistaken. He should leave the United States immediately, before it is too late.”
MUSK STRONGLY COUNTERSTACKS
Immediately after that, Elon Musk did not stay silent. On Tesla’s live broadcast, he declared defiantly:
“If you want to use your power to oppress others, I will make public what you do not want anyone to know. I have in my hands evidence that will shock the whole world.”
This statement immediately caused a global shockwave. People asked: What secret of Trump is Musk referring to? Could it be financial, political issues or national secrets that have never been revealed?
UNPRECEDENTED CONFRONTATION BETWEEN POLITICS AND TECHNOLOGY
Experts said this is an unprecedented confrontation in US history: a sitting President publicly threatened to deport one of the most powerful businessmen in the world.
Some political analysts said that Trump is “declaring war” on Musk to assert absolute power.
On the contrary, the technology world warned that if Musk really revealed the secret, this could cause the biggest scandal ever in US political history.
PUBLIC OPINION SHOCKED
Immediately after the announcement, the hashtag #TrumpVsMusk climbed to the top 1 globally.
Trump supporters hail him as a “strong, uncompromising president.”
Musk supporters see him as “the only person who dares to challenge absolute political power.”
Financial markets have also reacted violently: Tesla shares have fluctuated sharply, while Wall Street fears the conflict will affect a series of technology industries.
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS
Can Trump really deport Musk – a naturalized US citizen and the man behind tens of thousands of domestic jobs?
What “secrets” does Musk hold and does he really dare to reveal them?
Where will the war between the White House and Silicon Valley go?
ABC News commented: the situation could escalate into a national crisis, with unpredictable impacts on both politics and the global economy.
