Once upon a time, Elon Musk and Donald Trump shared a curious alliance â a high-profile bromance bridging Silicon Valley and MAGA world. Musk, the iconoclastic CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, had even served as an informal advisor to President Trumpâs administration. They rubbed shoulders at White House photo-ops and praised each otherâs grand visions. Elon happily touted Trumpâs business acumen and initially cheered on Trumpâs deregulatory agenda. Trump, in turn, welcomed Muskâs tech-star power, appointing him (with tongue-in-cheek flair) as head of a new âDepartment of Government Efficiencyâ (nicknamed DOGE) to cut red tape.
But like many celebrity friendships, this one came with an expiration date. Cracks began forming as their egos and agendas diverged. Musk grew uneasy with some of Trumpâs policies (especially those clashing with green energy and efficiency), while Trump bristled at Muskâs growing public influence. By spring 2025, tensions were brewing behind the scenes. Still, no one quite expected the Twitter-versus-Truth Social smackdown that erupted in early June. The evolving Elon-Trump relationship went from cordial âfirst buddiesâ to full-on feud in a matter of tweets â setting the stage for an extraordinary clash of billionaire egos in front of the whole world.
Elon Musk lit the match on June 5, 2025, with a series of explosive posts on X (formerly Twitter) that made the crypto world â and political circles â sit bolt upright. At approximately 7:10 PM UTC, Musk tweeted a bombshell allegation: âTrump is in the Epstein files, which is why you havenât seen them.â In one fell swoop, Musk insinuated that Donald Trumpâs name appears in the notorious Jeffrey Epstein client list â effectively accusing the sitting U.S. President of a scandalous association and suggesting a cover-up. The reference to the Epstein list (a supposed ledger of the late financier and sex offenderâs powerful friends) was a jaw-dropping escalation, even by Muskâs freewheeling social media standards.
And he didnât stop there. Musk proceeded to unleash a dozen rapid-fire posts lambasting Trump. In another pointed tweet, Musk bragged, âWithout me, Trump would have lost the election,â implying that his own influence (perhaps through Xâs platform or Teslaâs success) had helped Trump clinch victory. He even posted a movie meme â an image of the classic âKill Billâ poster â cleverly captioned to read âKill Big Beautiful Billâ in a jab at Trumpâs legislative agenda. This was a direct satire of Trumpâs self-described âOne Big Beautiful Billâ (more on that shortly). Muskâs use of a Kill Bill reference not only trolled the Presidentâs policy, it also inspired internet pranksters to create a new Solana meme token overnight called âKill Big Beautiful Bill (KBBB)â, which briefly skyrocketed in value before crashing back down. Elonâs Twitter fingers were on fire, and the online feud had officially gone nuclear.
Never one to shy away from a counterpunch, Donald Trump retaliated within hours on his own social media pulpit â Truth Social â turning the war of words into a two-platform spectacle. In a flurry of Truth Social posts and public comments on June 5, Trump blasted Muskâs behavior and motives. The President fumed that Muskâs opposition to the âOne Big Beautiful Billâ was entirely self-serving: according to Trump, Elon Musk only hates the bill because it would cut off the government gravy train for Tesla and SpaceX. Trumpâs âbig, beautifulâ omnibus bill is his signature legislative push â a sweeping package bundling tax cuts, immigration restrictions, and budget changes into one mega-law. Musk had lambasted this bill on X, claiming it undermines all the cost-cutting work he did as head of âGovernment Efficiency.â Now Trump was firing back, effectively saying Muskâs real concern was losing lucrative federal EV credits and contracts that benefited his companies.
The insults quickly got personal. Trump reportedly dubbed Musk âcrazyâ and âdisloyalâ in conversations, painting him as an ingrate who took government support but wouldnât support Trumpâs agenda. On Truth Social, Trump threatened to cut off all federal contracts and subsidies to Muskâs businesses. That meant potentially yanking SpaceXâs NASA launch agreements and eliminating the electric vehicle tax credits that help sell Teslas â high-stakes shots that could hurt Muskâs empire. The Presidentâs posts framed it as tough love: Musk needed to learn that America comes before Tesla or Twitter.
For his part, Musk only escalated further on X. He mockingly called for Trumpâs impeachment over the âOne Big Beautiful Billâ affair, arguing that such a bill (and the threats against Muskâs companies) betrayed the publicâs trust. Musk also railed against Trumpâs beloved tariffs and hinted that SpaceX might stop cooperating with NASA as retaliation â though he later walked back the spacecraft threat after advisers likely reminded him it sounded a bit unhinged. By late Thursday, the feud had morphed into a full-scale flame war, with both men trading barbs online like heavyweights hurling chairs in a WWE match. Millions watched from the sidelines as the worldâs richest man and the worldâs most powerful man locked horns in real time. It was dramatic. It was absurd. And naturally, it roiled financial markets â especially the wild west of crypto.
The immediate aftermath of this Musk-Trump clash was felt not only in stock prices (Tesla shares plunged over 14% in a day) but also acutely in the crypto market. Investors often joke that crypto runs on memes and momentum â and this spectacle delivered both in spades, sending shockwaves through major coins and cheeky tokens alike. In the hours following the social media slugfest, several crypto assets saw swift and significant price swings:
TrumpCoin (TRUMP) â The self-proclaimed official Trump meme coin (launched around his January inauguration) took a heavy hit. TrumpCoin plunged nearly 10% on the day as the feud spooked the ex-Presidentâs crypto fanbase. The token, which had once soared to an all-time high around $75 in early hype, dropped from roughly $11 to about $9â10 amid the chaos, wiping out over $100 million in market value. So much for âmaking memecoins great againâ â the Musk spat sent TRUMP holders running for cover.
Bitcoin (BTC) â Even the king of crypto wasnât spared. Bitcoinâs price slipped around 4%, dipping from the mid $100K range to nearly touch $100,000 flat. In fact, BTC briefly fell to about $100,400 before stabilizing, a notable drop in a market that had been rallying earlier in the week. Analysts fretted that if the feud worsened, Bitcoin could decisively lose the psychological $100K support level. Ironically, Trumpâs own policies have been very pro-Bitcoin (heâd even hosted a crypto summit to tout making the U.S. âcrypto capitalâ), but market jitters over Musk â a major crypto influencer â were enough to trigger a sell-off.
Ethereum (ETH) â The second-largest crypto felt the chill too. Ethereum slid roughly 6â8%, with its price sinking into the mid-$2,000s. By the next morning, ETH was hovering around $2,400, down from above $2,600 before the brouhaha. As a more speculative asset than Bitcoin, Ether was vulnerable to the general risk-off sentiment that hit the crypto market once the Musk vs. Trump fireworks started flying. Traders worried that a prolonged fight could stall the favorable regulatory momentum crypto had under Trumpâs administration, putting pressure on top altcoins like ETH.
Dogecoin (DOGE) â Perhaps most symbolic, Muskâs beloved Dogecoin also took a tumble. DOGE dropped about 8% in 24 hours, sliding to roughly $0.13 from the high $0.14s. For context, Dogecoinâs fortunes have long been tied to Elonâs tweets (heâs the self-proclaimed âDogefatherâ). Now with Musk seemingly distracted by political combat â and even hinting he might step back from meme coin shilling â some Doge investors got cold feet. The very acronym of Muskâs government âDepartment of Efficiencyâ being DOGE felt like cosmic irony: the meme coin that once soared on Muskâs memes was sinking on news of Muskâs exit from âDOGE.â It was as if the Shiba Inu mascot itself was whimpering at the sight of its master fighting online instead of posting rocket emojis.
KEKIUS â Even niche meme tokens like KEKIUS were not immune to the drama. KEKIUS, an Ethereum-based coin inspired by the Pepe/Kek frog meme, had previously skyrocketed over 2,600% when Elon Musk adopted a âKekius Maximusâ persona on X in a playful New Yearâs stunt. But now, with Muskâs attention on feuding rather than frogging, KEKIUS saw a swift pullback. In the post-fight dip, KEKIUS lost some of its luster, dropping an estimated 10â15% from recent highs. Itâs still up massively year-to-date (thanks to Muskâs earlier meme antics), but the message was clear: when Musk sneezes, even obscure meme coins catch a cold. Traders realized that a distracted Musk might not be cheerleading Pepe-themed coins for a while, so some profits were quickly taken off the table.
In summary, the crypto market reaction to the Musk-Trump tussle was swift and unforgiving. Across the board, riskier assets and anything connected to either manâs influence saw red numbers. Billions in crypto wealth evaporated in hours, mirroring the $150+ billion wipeout in Teslaâs stock value. It was as if the combined gravitational pull of Musk and Trumpâs egos created a black hole for market confidence.
This bizarre episode highlights a truth stranger than fiction: public feuds between high-profile figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump can send meme coins and investor sentiment on a rollercoaster ride. In the age of social media, markets trade on narrative as much as fundamentals â and few narratives are as titillating as a Musk vs. Trump showdown.
For years, Elon Musk has been a crypto wild card. A single tweet of his can launch a thousand coins (or sink them just as fast). Heâs famously pumped up Dogecoin with silly jokes and driven Bitcoin into both bull and bear runs with his comments about Teslaâs BTC holdings. His whimsical online behavior (remember changing his Twitter name to âLord Edgeâ or âKekius Maximusâ?) creates and destroys fortunes in equal measure for meme coin speculators. Donald Trump, on the other hand, is newer to the crypto party â but heâs made waves of his own. Since returning to office, Trump positioned himself as a champion of Bitcoin and even lent his brand to a meme token (TrumpCoin) to capitalize on his fervent base of supporters. Heâs pushed pro-crypto policies, basking in Bitcoinâs success while remaining skeptical of any project not about him.
When these two influencers collided, it was a perfect storm of uncertainty. Investors hate uncertainty, and this spat delivered plenty: Would Trump retaliate against Musk-friendly sectors like tech and crypto? Would Musk dump on Bitcoin or meme coins out of spite or distraction? Every tweet or âtruthâ post became a tea leaf for traders to read. FOMO and fear spiked in tandem. Some opportunists tried to turn the chaos into a joke â hence the rapid birth of âKill Big Beautiful Billâ coin and countless memes flooding Reddit â but even that humor belied real anxiety in the market.
The feud also underscores how meme coins now trade on social capital and pop culture moments. A viral insult or a trending hashtag can literally move prices. When Musk posted the âKill Billâ parody, not only did it rally his followers against Trumpâs bill, it directly inspired a tradable asset (KBBB coin) that reached a $50+ million valuation in hours. Likewise, Trumpâs touting of his bill and blasting Musk led his loyalists to double down on Bitcoin as a sort of political statement, even as mainstream investors recoiled. Itâs a absurd feedback loop: real political drama spawns internet memes, which spawn new crypto tokens, which then become part of the story and investor psyche. In 2025, truth is stranger than fiction and markets are moved by meme and machination alike.
In the end, this entire saga feels like a season finale of a reality show â âThe Real Billionaires of Silicon Valley and Mar-a-Lagoâ, perhaps. On one side, Elon Musk: tech mogul, shitposter extraordinaire, suddenly casting himself as a crusader against what he paints as Trumpâs excesses (with a heavy dose of self-interest). On the other, Donald Trump: former-turned-current President, master of media spectacle, determined to keep Musk in his lane while pushing his crypto market agenda (as long as it glorifies Trump). Their clash gave us absurdities like a government initiative named DOGE, a âbig beautifulâ piece of legislation that somehow triggered a Dogecoin slump, and the worldâs richest man insinuating the Commander-in-Chiefâs name is lurking in the Epstein files. You truly canât make this stuff up â and yet itâs all happening in plain view.
For investors, the Musk-Trump feud is a cautionary tale about volatility in the age of viral feuds. Serious policy issues got distilled into meme-worthy moments, and the crypto markets traded accordingly. Itâs satire come to life: a tweet about an Epstein list or a Truth Social rant about a bill can erase billions of dollars in a blink. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO learned that presidential ire can sting more than an SEC fine. The President learned that tangling with the worldâs richest troll can spawn a thousand internet jokes and a few lawsuit threats to boot.
As the dust settles, both men will likely recalibrate â but the internet never forgets. Traders and meme enthusiasts alike will be watching their feeds, popcorn in hand, waiting for the next salvo. Elon Musk and Donald Trump have proven once again that when titans tussle, it pays (literally) to pay attention. In the meantime, the rest of us are left to laugh, wince, and check our crypto portfolios. In this theater of the absurd, one thingâs for sure: the line between market news and meme-fueled satire has never been thinner. And as long as Musk and Trump keep duking it out online, expect the crypto rollercoaster to keep on twisting â big, beautiful bills and all.
