Tension between Trump and Elon Musk
The unstable macroeconomic environment has been compounded by a public clash between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, which has had a direct impact on market sentiment. In recent posts, Musk has criticized Trump’s tariffs, saying they “will cause a recession in the second half of this year” and accusing Congress of “bankrupting America.”

Tensions escalated when the billionaire announced on X that, due to the US president's comments about canceling government contracts, SpaceX would begin to decommission its Dragon spacecraft. Trump responded on Truth Social, saying he "doesn't care" about Musk's stance, but defended the One Big Beautiful Bill as "one of the largest spending bills ever introduced in Congress."
The situation took on an even more serious tone with a direct accusation from Musk, insinuating that Trump was linked to Epstein's files. "This is the real reason they weren't made public. Have a nice day, DJT!" Musk wrote on his social network.
Despite the exchange of barbs, Musk signaled on Thursday night that there could be an attempt at reconciliation. However, the impact of the dispute had already been reflected in the cryptocurrency market, putting pressure on assets such as Bitcoin, which is now testing the psychological support of US$ 100 again.
This clash between two influential figures raises concerns among institutional investors, who monitor political behavior and its effect on financial markets, especially in the regulatory context of cryptos.
