27 分钟Hello and welcome to World Business Report on the BBC World Service.
I'm Will Bengrate.
It is always to have your company on the program and it's going to be a busy program today
because how did something that was meant to be big and beautiful created?
Or how has it created so much bad blood between the world's richest man and the president of the world's richest economy with the US stock markets just open in the last hour or so.
We'll look at the continuing fallout from President Trump's explosive social media bust up with Elon Musk.
and what it means for some of Mr Musk's most important companies like the electric car firm Tesla and his rocket firm SpaceX.
Also today,
why one of Germany's biggest investment funds is pulling its investment in one of the world's biggest energy firms.
Exxon failed the first test.
Their climate targets are incomplete.
They don't want to become climate neutral and therefore they're not ambitious enough.
Yeah, more from Union investments on why they're putting oil and gas companies.
They hold shares in on notice and given they've got 500 billion euros worth of investments around the world,
it's a serious notice and they want them to take their climate goals more seriously.
So all that to come on World Business Report before we leave you in about half an hour's time.
But we're going to kick off with this extraordinary round between the two of the world's most powerful men that's spilling out to create stock market and business consequences as well.
President Trump described Elon Musk as the man who has lost his mind after the pair who had been of course close collaborators recently on everything about government efficiency to business strategy traded social media slurs.
Some of them more personal and lurid than others.
It was all over the president's tax bill that's currently making its way through Congress.
