Trump posted a threat on his social media site saying: "The easiest way to save money in our budget, billions and billions of dollars, is to end government support for Elon and his contracts".
If Trump directs government agencies against Musk, the technology billionaire will feel the pain. Tesla's stock price dropped by 14 percent on Thursday.
But Musk also has almost unlimited resources to respond, including funding for Republican insurgents in next year's elections and primary contests. He may not win a battle against the entire Trump administration, but he could impose a heavy political cost on Trump.
Musk wrote on X: "Trump has three and a half years left in the presidency, but I'll be here for more than 40 years".
