One Big Beautiful Crash of Elon Musk
Dear Traders,
Elon Musk and President Trump, the two most powerful people in the world, were once aligned and best buddies.
But this kind of relationship between political leaders and powerful financiers or industrialists is not unusual.
History shows us that these alliances have shaped major economic and political moments in America: J.P. Morgan and President Grover Cleveland worked closely during the Panic of 1895, when Morgan helped stabilize the U.S. economy by organizing a massive gold loan to the Treasury. Henry Ford had strong ties to President Woodrow Wilson, sharing ideas on industry, labor, and even diplomacy during World War I. David Rockefeller maintained close relationships with several presidents, becoming an informal advisor on global finance and foreign affairs across multiple administrations.
But Musk and Trump’s “marriage” was inherently volatile. Trump is an American protectionist, focused on tariffs, reshoring, and domestic industry. Musk, on the other hand, is a global industrialist, building factories and selling products across borders.
Their recent public fallout, which is happening as I am writing this newsletter, shows just how different their priorities really are. The disagreement became more visible when Musk started pushing back on Trump’s “one big beautiful deal,” which many believe weakens America’s competitiveness in clean energy, tech and adds to the big budget deficit.
President and Musk are now taking shots at each other on their own social media platforms. Things have gotten so heated, you just need to go and read it for yourself; it feels like a teenage war.
This split didn’t just make headlines today, it crashed TSLA stock as I am writing this newsletter in the afternoon. Tesla shares are collapsing over 16%.
Elon Musk might very well be done. He spent too much of his social capital electing President Trump, alienating many of his supporters and fan base, and now he is losing the fight with a person who goes to work every day at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
One thing that everyone agrees on is the power of Washington. Elite universities like Columbia and Harvard are capitulating left and right, no longer resisting the White House.
This morning, Tesla was gapping up in the pre-market after a strong session the day before. But something felt off. Concerns were already brewing over Musk’s dispute with the White House, and at the market open, the weakness was obvious.
And we were ready.
Right out of the gate, our community jumped on the short side. Even Peter, known for his structured Close strategies, took a clean short yes, we’ve officially turned Peter into a momentum trader at the open!
I did not have a great morning trade, and later in the afternoon, I re-entered TSLA short for a big win.
Carlos, live on YouTube, also traded Tesla short beautifully. Many of our traders shared screenshots of their executions, some even made thousands of dollars on the move.
This is the strength of the community. We don’t just teach, we adapt, support, and trade together through all market conditions.

Ray Dalio’s New Book: How Countries Go Broke
As these public fights over spending and policy unfold, we’re reminded of a deeper problem: America’s growing debt crisis.
Ray Dalio, the founder of the world’s largest hedge fund (Bridgewater Associates), just released a new book on June 3, 2025, titled How Countries Go Broke. It’s a powerful and timely read.
Dalio points out something alarming: This year, the U.S. is spending more on interest payments alone than on the entire Defense Department, which already costs more than what the next 10 largest militaries combined (China, Russia, the UK, Germany, and others) are spending.
According to Dalio, the biggest threat to the U.S. isn’t a market crash or a trade war, it’s the long-term damage from rising debt and unsustainable deficits.
If you care about the future of the markets, the economy, and your money, this is a must-read.
Today was a volatile, high-risk, high-reward day. While many traders did exceptionally well, others found it difficult to manage risk. That’s the nature of the market, and it’s exactly why community and mentorship matter.
We trade together, we learn from each other, and we grow through every opportunity and setback.
If you’re not part of our community yet, I hope you’ll consider joining us. These are the kinds of market moments that can change your trading forever.
Or at the very least, come and watch us live on YouTube, we trade every single day, and you’re always welcome to see how we do it.
And if you are having a bad day, just think what Elon Musk is going through now.
See you in the chatroom!
