5 ETF Areas That Thrived Amid the Trump-Musk Feud Yesterday
Read MoreHide Full Article
Wall Street wavered on June 5, 2025, as a highly publicized feud between President Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk unsettled investors. Tensions between the President and Musk reached a boiling point on Thursday, with a series of heated exchanges hitting headlines, as quoted on Yahoo Finance.
Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump expressed “disappointment” in Musk, questioning the TeslaTSLA CEO’s motives in opposing what he described as his “big, beautiful” economic bill. In response, Musk fired back on X (formerly Twitter), stating that Trump would not have won the election without his backing — a comment that reignited their already strained relationship.
Government Support at Risk
The conflict escalated as Trump suggested he might revoke federal subsidies and government contracts that benefit Musk's companies, including Tesla and SpaceX. Meanwhile, Musk declared he would consider decommissioning SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft and went as far as to endorse Trump’s impeachment — going against his previously supportive stance.
Markets Juggle Optimism and Uncertainty
The feud injects new volatility into markets already grappling with global trade concerns and mixed economic data. While investor sentiment had shown signs of cautious optimism earlier in the week — especially around the possibility of softened tariffs and a resilient economy — Thursday’s downturn again reignited market’s fragility.
