"The easiest way to save money in our Budget … is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts," Trump said in a post.

President Donald Trump threatened on Thursday to cut off government contracts with billionaire Elon Musk's companies, while Musk suggested Trump should be impeached, turning their bromance into an all-out brawl on social media.

President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened to cut Elon Musk's government contracts through Tesla amid his departure from his role cutting government spending and opposition to Trump's sweeping legislative agenda bill.

Elon Musk directly jabbed President Donald Trump over his policy bill Thursday— in his most pointed attack on Trump himself—over the legislation Musk has previously mostly blamed Republican lawmakers for.

The spectacular public feud last week between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump has laid bare how much Musk may lose if their rocky relationship continues to unravel.

Elon Musk has publicly acknowledged that some of his recent social media posts concerning President Donald Trump "went too far."

The dispute between Donald Trump and Elon Musk was triggered by months of intense stress on both sides, and the public battle between the U.S. president and the billionaire donor needs to stop, Musk's father told Reuters on Monday.
