Elon Musk Flexes SpaceX Advantage In Feud With Trump: 'We Have Got The Spaceships And They Do Not' — Gets Support From This Republican

SpaceX and Tesla Inc. TSLA CEO Elon Musk flexed the company's rockets amid a war of words with President Donald Trump on Sunday.

What Happened: On Sunday, Musk took to X, formerly Twitter and said, "Whatever happens, we have got the spaceships, and they do not."

Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — this is your last chance to become an investor for $0.80 per share.

Notably, Musk’s comments came after the tech mogul conducted a poll on X, where he asked his over 220 million followers about forming a new political party in the U.S. An overwhelming 80.4% responded in favor.

Responding to Musk's post, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) replied, "I don't know if I'm part of ‘we' but I would like to formally disassociate myself from the group herein referred to as ‘they.'"

Musk quickly said, "You're definitely not ‘they' and are welcome to be part of ‘we'," to which Massie responded with, “Count me in."

Why It’s Important: On Friday, the Tesla CEO floated a possible name, "The America Party," following the poll results.

The rift between Musk and Trump could have serious implications for Musk's companies, including Tesla and SpaceX, the billionaire's space technology company, particularly if threats to revoke federal contracts and subsidies are carried out.

Tesla’s market capitalization dropped by a record $152 billion, knocking the company out of the $1 trillion club following Musk's public criticism of Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill.”

Adding to the pressure, former White House official Steven Bannon has called for a federal investigation into Musk's immigration status, even suggesting that the South African-born U.S. citizen should be deported. 

He also called on Trump to seize control of SpaceX. He said that he is not asking for the nationalization of SpaceX, but the administration should make sure that the company is not spearheaded by someone who has drug issues.

Over the weekend, it was reported that two White House officials have confirmed that the public dispute between Trump and Musk has been temporarily paused.
