The rise of the tension between Donald Trump and Elon Musk is now rewriting U.S. electric vehicle (EV) policy. Trump’s action to speed up the phase out of the $7,500 EV tax credit which was to have taken place in 2032 is now the issue at the heart of their very public fight. The controversial decision which sees the expiration pushed forward to 2025 is a play back at Musk’s criticism of Trump’s economic policy.

Donald Trump And Elon Musk: A Policy Oriented Conflict

The break came when Musk spoke out against Trump’s $2.1 trillion corporate tax cut and $850 billion infrastructure plan which he described as fiscal recklessness. In response Trump went after Musk’s businesses which would see “Elon’s subsidies” reduced. Within a week the White House put forth a policy which penalized Tesla and highlighted the friction between Donald Trump and Elon Musk over business practices. They removed EV tax breaks and brought back sales caps which Tesla had for a while exceeded.

Treasury analysts report that it may see a 27% drop in EV adoption through 2030 as a result of these policy changes. Also out of past sales volume issues Tesla is at a great disadvantage.

Role In The Auto Sector

Trump’s revised bill deals a heavy blow to the EV industry, reflecting the ongoing struggle with Elon Musk’s vision for electric vehicles.

  • Accelerated Phase Out: Full EV tax incentives will end in December 2025.
  • Sales Cap Reinstitution: Automakers over 200,000 units out include Tesla.
  • Sourcing Rules: Battery materials must have 75% of their origin in North America as of now, up from 60%.

This goes hard on Tesla and also more recent EV players like Rivian. Tesla saw their market value drop by $150 billion in a single day at the news of which. Ford and GM which are less dependent on federal incentives did in fact see share increases. Also we saw battery materials’ prices fall due to lower demand forecasts.

Donald Trump And Elon Musk Polarise Tech And Politics

Musk’s issue with Trump is causing a break up of what were very long held tech and conservative alliances. On his social platform X which has over 90 million users Musk is a force to be dealt with which is in play in the GOP’s midterm strategy in tech focused states like California and Texas. Even Republican leaders are reporting that they are losing out on the innovation community which may in turn harm the country’s future economic standing and further escalate tensions between Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

Strategically Tesla has accelerated development of the Model 2 which will go for $25,000 and is also preparing to take legal action against what it terms “targeted exclusionary policies”. In the meantime other auto companies are turning to hybrids or domestic sources to adapt to the new environment.
