Rynki kryptowalut osuwają się, gdy Musk grozi partii  politycznej, Trump atakuje dotacje dla Tesli

Bitcoin’s price slipped below the $107,000 threshold on Monday amid intensifying political drama between two of the most influential figures in U.S. tech and politics: Elon Musk and President Donald Trump. The renewed public feud over the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” has injected fresh volatility into markets, with crypto traders increasingly wary of broader macro instability and political risk.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $106,834, down 1.34% over the last 24 hours, with a low of $106,759 and a high of $108,317, according to CoinGecko data. The drop follows several days of relatively range-bound movement, as traders waited for macro or political catalysts. That catalyst appears to have arrived - not in the form of Federal Reserve policy or inflation data, but from the escalating standoff between Musk and Trump.

The immediate backdrop to Bitcoin’s downturn is a political clash over the “Big Beautiful Bill”, a controversial government spending package that President Trump has publicly championed as part of his re-election platform. The bill includes expansive infrastructure, defense, and subsidy provisions - many of which appear to run counter to earlier Republican promises to rein in federal expenditures.

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX and owner of X, has emerged as a vocal opponent of the bill, accusing lawmakers of betraying their fiscal pledges. On July 1, Musk pinned a poll on his X account asking users whether the U.S. needs a new political party. The poll garnered over 3 million responses, with more than 80% favoring the idea of an alternative party.

Musk’s rhetoric has escalated rapidly. On Monday, he lambasted lawmakers who backed the bill, stating they “should hang their heads in shame!” and warned that he would dedicate himself to unseating them in their next primaries, calling the vote a betrayal of fiscal responsibility.

“And they will lose their primary next year if it is the last thing I do on this Earth,” Musk declared.

Trump Fires Back With Threats to Musk’s Empire

President Trump, never one to shy away from confrontation, responded swiftly via his Truth Social platform. He suggested that his administration may “look into cutting Elon Musk subsidies,” a veiled threat aimed squarely at Tesla’s EV credits, federal space contracts with SpaceX, and Musk’s broader access to federal programs and support.

Trump also accused Musk of hypocrisy, claiming that the billionaire had long known about his stance on the electric vehicle mandate, and benefited from government support while now feigning opposition.

“Elon knew I hated the EV mandate. He’s playing both sides,” Trump wrote.

In response, Musk doubled down, replying on X: “CUT IT ALL. Now.” The Tesla CEO added that it was time to “stop pretending we can endlessly raise the debt ceiling while handing out money like candy.”

Market Fallout: Tesla and Bitcoin Feel the Pressure

The Musk-Trump feud is not only a political spectacle - it’s having real economic repercussions. Tesla’s stock has tumbled over 10% in the past week, sliding 1.84% to $317.66 on Monday, and dropping another 2% in after-hours trading to $311.19 as the battle intensified.

Bitcoin, often seen as a barometer for market risk appetite, is also reacting to the uncertainty surrounding federal fiscal policy, especially given its sensitivity to macro narratives such as inflation, debt ceilings, and currency debasement.

Analysts note that the $106,100 level now serves as a key technical support zone. If breached, the market could face a cascade of liquidations, particularly in over-leveraged futures positions, which have built up in recent weeks amid low volatility.

“There’s definitely a sense that political dysfunction is back on the table, and that makes investors nervous,” said a crypto analyst at QCP Capital. “The more unpredictable Washington becomes, the more risk-off the market goes.”

Safe Haven or Political Pawn? Bitcoin Caught in the Crossfire

While Bitcoin has historically benefited from government distrust and financial instability - especially during debt ceiling stand-offs and inflation shocks - it can also suffer when macro chaos spreads too fast, or when liquidity tightens across asset classes.

The Musk-Trump feud places crypto in an uncomfortable position. On one hand, it revives the narrative of Bitcoin as a hedge against fiat dysfunction, but on the other, it threatens broader market confidence, especially when institutional players are still cautiously re-entering the space after the 2022–2023 downturn.

Further complicating matters is the possibility that political fallout could spill over into regulatory decisions. Musk’s ties to crypto have historically boosted assets like Dogecoin, and any real threats to his business empire could limit his influence on the digital asset ecosystem. Already, Trump’s post alluded to re-examining Musk's role in shaping crypto narratives via social platforms.

The Musk–Trump clash is not simply a Twitter spat - it’s a philosophical and financial showdown between two of the most influential figures in tech, business, and politics. It represents deep fractures in the Republican base ahead of the 2026 midterm primaries and is already influencing market perceptions of U.S. stability.

Elon Musk, once a Trump ally and White House guest, has increasingly distanced himself from both parties. His statements about forming a new political party could disrupt the U.S. political landscape, especially if it gains funding or grassroots traction via X.

Meanwhile, Trump’s warnings about cutting subsidies, while perhaps rhetorical, carry real weight given the size of Tesla’s and SpaceX’s government exposure. A significant shift in federal policy could spook both tech stocks and broader equities markets, adding to crypto volatility.

What's Next for Bitcoin?

Bitcoin traders now find themselves navigating a complex mix of political, technical, and macroeconomic factors:

  • On the technical side, holding above $106,000 is critical to avoid cascading sell pressure.
  • On the political front, traders are monitoring any fallout from Musk’s anti-bill campaign and Trump's retaliatory tone.
  • From a macro lens, U.S. fiscal stability and interest rate projections remain key.

For now, BTC remains vulnerable to both downside shocks and relief rallies, depending on how the situation evolves. Any signs of escalation - or, conversely, a political detente - could influence crypto sentiment in the near term.
