Trump and Musk's Breakup: A Fatal Infighting in the Political and Business Alliance
A rift suddenly appears in the U.S. political and business circles: President Trump and the world's richest man, Musk, engage in an intense confrontation, with both sides accusing each other and threatening policy retaliation, causing a cross-sector shock.
The standoff began with Musk's astonishing declaration on the social platform X. He publicly stated, "Trump's election victory relies entirely on me," and asserted that if not for his influence, the Democrats would retain control of the House of Representatives, and the Republicans would only have a slight edge in the Senate.
This remark completely enraged Trump, who threatened to cancel SpaceX's billions of dollars in government subsidies, directly targeting the core interests of Musk's business empire.
The conflict quickly escalated into personal attacks. Musk made heavy accusations without evidence, implying a connection between Trump and the Epstein case, and questioned the reasons for the lack of public access to related documents.
The White House quickly retaliated, with Press Secretary Levitt pointing out that Musk was "maliciously retaliating" due to dissatisfaction with the "Inflation Reduction Act," and the conservative camp quickly followed up, questioning the motives behind his accusations.
Supporters from both sides have formed opposing camps: one side believes Musk is pressuring policy through political donations, while the other accuses Trump of abusing power to suppress business rivals.
The mediation call from rapper Ye further highlights the absurdity of the incident—this top-tier power game is merging political-business wrangling, privacy scandals, and social media feuds into one.
