#TrumpVsMusk Emperor & merchant: Will history repeat itself between Trump and Musk?

In the history of China, Zhu Yuanzhang – the rebel in cloth clothes – received great financial help from Shen Wansan, the richest merchant of the late Ming dynasty. But when Zhu became emperor, he dismissed Shen, fearing that his great financial power could overthrow him.

Today, Donald Trump – a powerful politician with populist ideas – faces a "modern Shen Wansan": Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, who owns enormous technology, platforms, and social influence (X, Tesla, SpaceX...).

🧠 Unlike before, Musk is not only a provider of money but also controls information and technology. But Trump is also not the kind of emperor who is easily led – he is returning to politics with great political and populist power.

Will they shake hands or annihilate each other?

Will history repeat itself – or will the new era rewrite the rules of power?
