Part 5/8:
Speculation surrounding the rift has intensified, with outlets like The Wall Street Journal alleging that Trump is growing impatient with Musk, especially after the withdrawal of his ally Jared Isaacman’s nomination to lead NASA. Allegedly, Musk expressed frustration over having supported Trump during his campaign, only to see Isaacman’s nomination reversed, prompting his recent confrontational stance towards the administration.
Moreover, the contention is further fueled by factors like the reduction of tax credits for electric vehicles, the termination of Musk's involvement with Dogecoin, and the refusal to incorporate Starlink technology in national air traffic control.
