特朗普总统: 我对马斯克的所作所为感到非常失望，他曾经说过我的好话，还戴着我的帽子。我帮助了他很多，但现在我不确定我们还能保持良好的关系。他批评我的税收法案，还暗示如果没有他的帮助，我就不会赢得选举。我考虑切断他与政府的合同。 马斯克: 特朗普忘恩负义，没有我的帮助他不会当选总统。他威胁要切断我的政府合同，我回应说‘放马过来’。我考虑退役SpaceX的Dragon飞船，但这可能对国际空间站的工作造成风险。 Ross Gerber: 马斯克的行为是一场灾难，这超出了任何聪明商人的行为。他把特朗普变成所有事物的敌人，这令人难以置信。 John Tucker: 白宫助手计划与马斯克进行电话沟通，试图缓和局势。马斯克和特朗普之间的公开冲突导致特斯拉股价暴跌14%，马斯克个人财富缩水340亿美元。 Gina Cervetti: 马斯克曾威胁要退役SpaceX的Dragon飞船，这艘飞船对国际空间站至关重要。目前还不清楚他是否认真考虑过这个威胁。 Bill Ferrys: 特朗普总统和中国国家主席习近平同意恢复贸易谈判，双方似乎在稀土矿产品问题上达成某种协议或共识。如果他们能就此达成谅解，可能预示着双方就关税问题的谈判重回正轨。特朗普总统已接受访问中国的邀请，并向习近平主席发出了自己的邀请。 Derek Wallbank: 马斯克曾向特朗普和共和党捐赠了数亿美元，他曾是特朗普削减政府开支的代言人。现在，他却成为了特朗普一项重要法案的主要反对者，这导致了他们之间的公开冲突。这次冲突给马斯克带来了巨大的经济损失，也损害了特斯拉的品牌形象。马斯克似乎愿意缓和局势，但共和党人也希望看到某种缓和，因为他们需要马斯克的支持。

Shownotes Transcript

On today's podcast:  

  1. Elon Musk and President Donald Trump engage in a public dispute the traded personal barbs and weighed down Tesla stock and Musk's personal wealth. The dispute began over differences on the GOP tax legislation, with Musk opposing the bill and Trump accusing Musk of being motivated by self-interest.  After Tesla shares tanked 14% and Musk's personal wealth dropped by $34 billion, Musk signaled a willingness to cool tensions with Trump, responding to a user's advice to "cool off and take a step back for a couple days" with "Good advice."  

  2. Tensions appear to be easing between the US and China. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to further trade talks to resolve disputes over tariffs and rare earth minerals. The two leaders had a 90-minute call, during which Trump acknowledged that the trade relationship with China had gotten "a little off track" but said they are now "in very good shape" with a trade deal.  

  3. Investors brace for a critical May Jobs Report. Traders are awaiting the key monthly nonfarm payrolls report, which may reinforce expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at least twice this year.
