A feud growing between Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump has seemingly boiled over this afternoon, with both parties attempting to one-up each other in terms of back-and-forth hits.
For Musk, things seem to have reached a boiling point when Trump threatened to terminate government subsidies and contracts associated with Musk, with Trump adding that he was “always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!”
The comment has led to Musk stating that he has directed SpaceX to begin decommissioning the Dragon spacecraft, effective immediately. The spacecraft, which represents the first private spacecraft to carry astronauts to the International Space Station, currently operates under a Commercial Crew Program in place with NASA.

Shortly after this commentary, Musk appeared to call for the impeachment of Trump, although the grounds on what that impeach would relate to is currently unclear.

The feud today began when Musk took to X to whine about the money he had spent on getting Trump back into power, and how the administration was ungrateful for doing so.
