The Spark That Lit the Fuse
Tensions between former allies Donald Trump and Elon Musk reportedly stem from a personal grudge held by Sergio Gor, the White House director of presidential personnel. According to sources, Gor felt slighted after Musk criticized his staffing delays during a March cabinet meeting. In response, Gor allegedly influenced Trump’s decision to withdraw the NASA administrator nomination of Jared Isaacman, a close Musk confidant and billionaire entrepreneur behind the Polaris space missions.
Gor is also accused of privately celebrating Tesla’s stock tumble, sharing gleeful messages with colleagues and allegedly planting damaging stories about Musk in conservative media circles. Though Gor denies having personal motives, White House insiders have painted a picture of deliberate sabotage that has further strained Trump’s volatile relationship with Musk.
Economic Fallout and Political Ramifications
The public collapse of the Trump-Musk alliance has sent shockwaves through markets. Tesla shares plummeted more than 14% in just three days, wiping out over $150 billion in market value. Investors reacted nervously to reports that Trump was considering ending federal contracts with Musk’s companies, including SpaceX and Tesla’s Department of Energy-funded battery initiatives.
Musk, meanwhile, escalated the feud by hinting at the formation of a new political party and threatening to suspend NASA-supported missions managed by SpaceX. The public tit-for-tat has unnerved both political donors and defense contractors, who now view the Musk-Trump rift as a potential liability for U.S. space strategy.

Attempts at Damage Control
Despite the chaos, aides on both sides are quietly pushing for reconciliation. According to MarketWatch, Tesla shares rebounded slightly after reports surfaced that the White House had scheduled a call with Musk in an attempt to de-escalate tensions. However, Trump has since downplayed the outreach, referring to Musk as “overrated” in a network interview.
The situation continues to evolve rapidly, with insiders debating whether addressing Gor’s role could help mend the political damage. Regardless, the feud has already disrupted both parties’ strategic objectives, especially as the 2026 midterms approach and U.S. space policy hangs in the balance.
