MUSK VS TRUMP'S POLITICAL RIFT
Oh, the humanity! The bromance of the century, Elon Musk and Donald Trump, has officially gone Chernobyl. Apparently, even self-proclaimed "free speech absolutists" and "stable geniuses" have their limits. Who knew a major tax bill could be the wedge that drives a rocket scientist and a golf course architect apart?
It all started with Musk, fresh off his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) triumph (read: 129 days of presumably very efficient thinking), calling Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" a "disgusting abomination." Imagine! Someone criticizing a Trump bill to his face! The horror!
Trump, naturally, responded with the subtlety of a bull in a SpaceX factory, expressing "disappointment" in his former protégé. Musk, not to be out-Trumped, then lobbed accusations of "ingratitude" and even floated the entirely unsubstantiated idea that Trump's name might be lurking in those still-sealed Jeffrey Epstein files. Because what's a good political spat without a touch of Pizzagate-level conspiracy?
So, there you have it. The man who wants to colonize Mars and the man who wants to wall off America are now in a very public, very childish spat. One's threatening to sell his Tesla, the other's threatening to cut federal contracts. It's almost enough to make you wish they'd just duel it out on X (formerly Twitter) with a "most unhinged tweet" contest. May the best meme win!
