š„ From Allies to Adversaries
Once alliesāat least publiclyāDonald Trump and Elon Musk now stand on opposite ends of a growing rift. The former U.S. President, known for his brash rhetoric, and the tech titan, famed for his unapologetic tweets, have officially declared war. And itās not just wordsāitās power plays, policy threats, and stock market tremors.
š„ Trump Fires the First Shot
On Truth Social, Trump let loose:
> āElon and I had a very good relationship, but I donāt know how that relationship is going anymore. I helped him a lot, but Iām very disappointed. I wouldnāt be surprised if he starts talking badly about me soon.ā
The spark? Muskās open criticism of the Republican tax cut rollback and the removal of electric vehicle (EV) incentivesāmoves Trump claims Musk knew were coming.
Trump didnāt stop there. He suggested Muskās anger is driven by a yearning for White House access and warned that government subsidies benefiting Muskās companies could be slashed.
> āThe easiest way to save billions of dollars is to cut Elonās government subsidies,ā Trump said ominously.
ā” Musk Strikes Back
Musk wasted no time responding. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he delivered a brutal rebuttal:
> āIf it werenāt for me, Trump would have lost the election! The Democrats would have won the House, the Republicans would have lost the Senate.ā
He slammed the so-called "Big Ugly Law" and took aim at Trump's leadership style, calling the midnight-passed legislation reckless and economically dangerous.
