Recently, the relationship between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has become strained after a period of closeness. The beginning was positive, as Trump appeared in an interview on the "X" platform owned by Musk, during which they discussed important issues such as immigration and the economy, and there were clear signs of mutual understanding and support between them.

Later, after Trump's victory in the elections, Musk was appointed to a symbolic position to improve government efficiency, but things quickly changed.

In May 2025, Musk strongly opposed a government spending bill that he described as "disgusting," and announced his resignation from the position, which angered Trump. Trump responded with economic threats against Musk's companies, prompting the latter to retaliate but later back down.
