Trump Warns Elon Musk of “Serious Consequences” If He Backs Democrats

The drama between Elon Musk and Donald Trump just escalated to a whole new altitude—literally.

On Wednesday, Musk announced via X (formerly Twitter) that SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft “immediately.” The decision came hours after former President Trump publicly stated he would terminate what he called “Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts,” claiming the move could save the country “Billions and Billions of Dollars.”

In response, Musk didn’t waste time. “In light of the President’s statement,” Musk tweeted, “@SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately.”

Trump Says Cut Elon’s Contracts—Musk Responds by Grounding SpaceX’s Dragon

So what exactly is the Dragon spacecraft—and why is this such a big deal?

The Dragon is one of SpaceX’s most iconic achievements. It’s a reusable spacecraft developed to carry cargo—and later, astronauts—to the International Space Station. It’s been a backbone of NASA’s commercial spaceflight program since 2012. The newer Crew Dragon, in particular, has been transporting astronauts as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, reducing reliance on Russian rockets.

In simple terms: SpaceX’s Dragon is one of the few American-made vehicles capable of taking people and supplies into space—and bringing them back.
“Decommissioning” means taking it out of service. If Musk follows through, it could mean fewer missions to the ISS, delays for NASA contracts, and even setbacks for U.S. space dominance. It’s a move with both political and scientific ripple effects.

This latest clash follows Musk’s recent accusations that Trump is named in the sealed Epstein files, a claim that already had social media in flames. The back-and-forth now spans everything from political smears to billion-dollar aerospace decisions.

With government funding on the line and one of the world’s most important space programs being dragged into the feud, one thing’s for sure—this isn’t just a Twitter spat anymore. This is real, high-stakes power politics with rockets on the ground.
