The clue to what Musk should do now

Is it over between Elon Musk and Donald Trump forever? And what does the fight mean for Tesla? Here we answer four questions about the infected situation in the United States.

Musk has just stepped down from his role as head of DOGE, an initiative aimed at finding savings and cuts within the government apparatus. Shortly thereafter, Donald Trump’s reform package “Big Beautiful Bill” passed the House of Representatives and was sent to the Senate.

DOGE itself states that the organization has so far saved the US government around $180 billion, figures that have been heavily questioned by many. This, possibly hypothetical, saving would go towards reducing the US national debt. Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”, on the other hand, would increase the national debt by $2.4 trillion, according to independent calculations. Musk’s work with DOGE would thus be completely destroyed – with a bang.
