Elon Musk and Trump Duel Over Big Beautiful Bill: Is Bitcoin the Winner?

2025 looks like the year of conflicts, whether it's the U.S.-China trade war or the India-Pakistan trade war, but this year the world has witnessed some of the biggest conflicts in history. Now, there's a fight between the world's richest man, Elon Musk, and U.S. President Donald Trump, over an economic bill, known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill." What began as a close friendship has now turned into a war of words. The entire drama started when Trump introduced the "One Big Beautiful Bill". This bill proposes significant tax cuts, increased government spending, and the best part is a higher debt ceiling to make it happen. Imagine that the credit limit of the United States has been raised immensely, but the bills will be so high that your grandchildren will have to worry about it. Everything starts to get interesting at this point. Among the many details in the bill are measures to cut electric vehicle tax credits and abolish rules for electric vehicles. What does this mean? The company is about to face significant losses in net profit. Things escalated in late May 2025 when Musk began criticizing the bill, describing it as filled with unnecessary expenditures and stating that it would worsen the budget deficit. Musk said the bill had not been properly reviewed by Congress and he had not been given the opportunity to review its contents. He continued to say that Trump is ungrateful, and added, "Without me, Trump would have lost the election, the Democrats would control the House, and the Republicans would have a 51-49 ratio in the Senate." He called this bill "an unreasonable congressional spending bill, full of pork" and "a disgusting abomination." In response, Trump stated that he was disappointed because he had helped Musk a lot and did not expect to be criticized. He claimed that Musk changed his mind after learning about the reduction of incentives for electric vehicles, implying that Musk was upset because Tesla would lose a lot of money. He spoke about the reduction of government subsidies for Musk's companies and questioned Musk's decisions on political issues. Not long after, the discord turned into a public feud on social media (X and Truth Social). Musk attacked supporters of the bill and mocked Trump’s name for the legislation. Trump downplayed Musk's influence and claimed that he would win in key states even without Musk's support. However, this war also has another side. As this political drama unfolds, Bitcoin is about to have its biggest marketing move ever. The friendly relationship between Donald Trump and Elon Musk has turned into a heated controversy, and cryptocurrency fans are having a great time following along. Bitcoin Attracts Attention Amidst the War While Trump and Musk are trading barbs on social media, Bitcoin supporters are celebrating. In the eyes of the cryptocurrency community, this situation turns out to be a great opportunity for Bitcoin to attract more users. Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, stated that Bitcoin could become the world's reserve currency if Congress continues to spend recklessly. Max Keiser, a strong supporter of Bitcoin, mentioned that this spending would push Bitcoin up to $2.2 million, and at this moment, who would disagree with him?

However, the biggest highlight is when Samson Mow, a leading Bitcoin supporter, tweeted to Musk and encouraged him to invest in BTC. What was his advice? Tesla should start accepting Bitcoin again, SpaceX should offer discounts for customers paying with Bitcoin, and Musk should ensure that the Federal Reserve uses Bitcoin. Meanwhile, his second tweet is quite funny: "Make sure you transfer your cryptocurrency before they freeze your fiat account." This is not financial advice. Here are some tips on freedom. The Reasons Behind the Celebration of Bitcoin Bulls In fact, every government spending spree is a hidden advertisement for Bitcoin. When the money supply increases too much, smart investors start looking for alternative options. Because the "Great Beautiful Bill" could cause trillions of dollars in new debt, Bitcoin seems like a prudent choice. John Deaton, an XRP lawyer, stated that this bill serves as an advertisement for Bitcoin. Hayes, the founder of BitMEX, advised Musk to use Bitcoin to counter the government's endless spending. Max Keiser also believes that Musk and Brian Armstrong are on the verge of becoming Bitcoin maximalists. Moreover, Musk's strong opposition did not prevent the bill from being passed by the House with just a few votes. Trump was able to pass his healthcare bill, but at what cost? Due to their public discord, the relationship between Musk and the President of America has deteriorated, and this continues to give Bitcoin supporters new reasons to celebrate. What Will the Future Be Like? While Trump and Musk are trading barbs on social media, it is clear that their fractured friendship could be Bitcoin's biggest win. As the wealthy bicker about money and the government spends excessively, digital gold emerges as a strong choice. It is still unclear whether Musk listened to Samson Mow and invested all of his money into Bitcoin. However, it cannot be denied that this political drama has brought more support to Bitcoin supporters than they expected.

In some cases, the best marketing campaigns develop without much effort. Sometimes, these events appear as a battle X between the two most important people in the world. Now, the only question left is: Are you ready when the next price surge of Bitcoin starts?
