However, Musk had already advocated for an end to green subsidies that would have impacted his businesses, and I don't think a place at the trough is what motivated Musk. On the other hand, though ...  === Tesla on Thursday suffered its worst single-day drop in more than four years as President Trump threatened to kill government contracts for Elon Musk’s companies as the feud between them went nuclear.
