#TrumpVsMusk

Struggle for Influence in the Digital Age

The proximity and alliance between two of the most influential and controversial figures: President Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.

Roots of Hostility: From Insults to Boycotts

1. Public Attacks (2016-2020):

Musk strongly criticized Trump during his presidency, particularly the decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement, calling him unfit for the job.

Musk resigned from a presidential advisory council in protest of the withdrawal from the agreement, and Trump described Musk as a fraud.

2. Twitter Boycott: Trump refrained from using Twitter after his account was banned in January 2021, while Musk criticized the ban, calling it a moral mistake.

The Deal and Defense

1. Musk's Acquisition of Twitter (November 2022): This was the pivotal moment when Trump praised the deal, and Musk reinstated Trump's account on the platform, stating that the people had spoken.

2. Public Mutual Support:

Musk began defending Trump, especially in legal matters, describing them as unfair and a violation of the Constitution.

Musk openly declared that he would not donate to President Biden and would financially support Trump in the 2024 elections.

Trump appeared at campaign rallies praising Elon and his bravery.

Common Interests

1. Both adopt an anti-woke culture rhetoric and advocate for free speech on platform X.

2. Opposition to the Biden Administration: Their hatred unites them against the Biden administration and its policies (especially environmental and immigration).
