Donald Trump has reportedly stopped using Elon Musk’s social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), following an escalating public feud with the Tesla CEO. The cessation of activity on X comes after a series of sharp criticisms exchanged between the two prominent figures.

Trump’s last pinned tweet on X was on June 22, and his last regular tweet was on June 25, meaning he had not posted anything on the platform for a week as of the report date. Despite having over 107 million followers on X, Trump has reportedly been frequently using his own Truth Social platform instead.

The public dispute intensified after Donald Trump criticized Elon Musk, asserting that the Tesla CEO heavily relies on American government subsidies. Trump claimed that without these subsidies, Musk would likely “head back home to South Africa” and would have to “close up shop”, ending rocket launches, satellite ventures, and electric car production. Trump also stated that he was “strongly against the EV Mandate” long before Musk endorsed him for President, calling it “ridiculous”. Furthermore, Trump suggested that DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), which Musk once led, should investigate the extent of subsidies flowing to Musk’s companies.

In response, Elon Musk condemned Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” describing it as “political suicide for the Republican Party”. Musk also threatened to launch a new political party, “the America Party,” if the spending bill passed in the US Senate, stating that the country needs an alternative to the “Democrat-Republican uniparty” to give people a voice.

This ongoing dispute highlights contrasting views on government support and political direction between the former President and the billionaire CEO.
