A heated feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has sparked the creation of a new memecoin, KILL BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL (KBBB), which quickly reached a market cap of over $53 million. This development comes as traders capitalized on the heightened attention surrounding the conflict.
Musk Breaks Ties with Trump Over βBig Beautiful Billβ
The clash between Musk and Trump intensified after Musk publicly distanced himself from the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.), a Trump-backed initiative he previously led. On Tuesday, Musk took to social media to criticize Trumpβs new legislation, the βOne Big Beautiful Bill,β calling it a βdisgusting, massive, outrageous, pork-filled abomination.β Musk warned his followers that the bill could severely damage the countryβs fiscal health.
The Big Beautiful Bill, which passed through the House last month, is being promoted by the Trump administration as a transformative economic reform package. It promises significant tax breaks, increased military spending, and reduced welfare programs, with Trump claiming it will save the nation trillions of dollars in the long run.
While White House economists argue that the benefits of the bill outweigh its costs, the Congressional Budget Office projects that it could add $2.4 trillion to the national deficit over the next decade. Musk, who claims D.O.G.E. had already saved $180 billion through aggressive budget cuts, views the bill as undoing the initiativeβs achievements.
D.O.G.E., established during Trumpβs early days in office, was Muskβs brainchild for reducing government waste. However, Musk now believes the billβs excessive spending and subsidies have undermined the initiativeβs mission.
Memecoins Take Center Stage
Shortly after Muskβs public criticism, memecoin enthusiasts launched KILL BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL (KBBB) on the Solana blockchain. Within nine hours, the tokenβs market cap skyrocketed to $53.12 million before experiencing a 30% correction to around $36.73 million.
The hype led to a surge in Musk-themed memecoins on Solana-based decentralized exchanges. Popular tokens such as MUSK DOGE, X ELON, PEDO FILES, and ELONβS LAST STAND quickly gained traction, some achieving multi-million-dollar market caps. Similarly, Trump-themed tokens, including TRUMP420 and BIG BILL 2025, have also entered the scene, turning the feud into a full-fledged memecoin frenzy.
Trump and Musk Sever Ties
The situation escalated further when Musk hinted at Trumpβs alleged connections to Jeffrey Epstein. In a series of posts, Musk claimed that Trumpβs name appeared in unreleased Epstein files and suggested this was the reason those documents remained sealed. Musk also supported calls for Trumpβs impeachment during his late-night social media activity.
In response, Trump expressed his disappointment in Musk, stating that he had βdone more for that guy than anyone else.β Trump also suggested that Muskβs outrage stemmed from the billβs provision to phase out electric vehicle subsidies, a move that could significantly impact Teslaβs business.
Trump has since referred to Musk in the past tense, signaling the end of their political alliance. This public fallout marks a clear break in their once-close relationship.
Market Fallout
The feud has had a ripple effect across the cryptocurrency and financial markets. Dogecoin (DOGE), long associated with Musk, dropped over 9% following the clash. Teslaβs stock also fell by 15%, as investors grew concerned about the potential impact of Muskβs political disputes on his business endeavors.
Trump-themed tokens also faced declines. Official Trump, Trumpβs official meme token, dipped by over 10%. Other tokens, such as MAGA and MAGA Hat, saw drops of 6.4% and 5.5%, respectively. The broader PolitiFi market experienced a 10% downturn as a result of the ongoing fallout.
