Space stocks soar as Elon Musk and Donald Trump argue
The president's threats against SpaceX are helping spur growth for its rivals.
Last week, a social media post from Elon Musk caused many people to stop in their tracks. The Tesla (TSLA) CEO had taken his conflict with President Donald Trump in a direction that seemed shocking, even for him.
In the now-deleted post, Musk accused Trump of having ties to Jeffrey Epstein. He went on to argue that without him, the President would not have won the 2024 election, and posted a poll to X about the idea of starting a third party to challenge both Democrats and Republicans.
