The outcome of the Trump-Musk feud will majorly affect you.
They’re two of the world’s most influential men, and just had a very public breakup.

But there’s more to it…

Since January, we’ve watched Trump and DOGE slash contracts and fire employees, wondering if government contracting is shrinking. To be honest, it’s been a little scary.
But this fight actually gives a significant hint of which way the wind is blowing.

Let’s recap the past week:
In case you were under a rock…

(1) Elon ran DOGE…saved $180B (to date)…then left DOGE as planned. Also, he was Trump’s Bestie until recently.
(2) Trump introduced his “Big Beautiful Bill,” and Elon felt the spending was too high, so he criticized it publicly.
(3) Chaos ensued, with nasty exchanges between the “Leader of the Free World” and the “World’s Richest Man.”
(4) The world panicked, the stock market tanked, especially Tesla, then recovered.

Things have since cooled between Trump and Musk…pretty much back to normal life.

Was this Good or Bad for government contracting?
The fight wasn’t personal, or even about ego or hurt feelings, it was philosophical.

This comes down to the visions for America that Trump and Musk have, and how they differ.
Musk’s “purist” vision of fiscal discipline was overruled by Trump’s “realist” approach to spending big to get things done.

Trump has the final say
…and the scope of this spending bill tells Government Contractors:
“Your livelihood is not going away, and everything is just fine.”

This means more money for defense, infrastructure, IT goods/services, and performance-backed delivery.

What is the right Action to take now?
You can drop any hesitation in the federal market you’ve had. Things are stabilizing, with Trump’s message of a still high-spending government.

Remember Trump’s Executive Order to move all possible purchasing to GSA?
Federal Spending is funneling towards GSA.
