#TrumpVsMusk The relationship between Donald Trump and Elon Musk has shifted from collaboration to a complete and public break, marked by insults and mutual accusations.
From Alliance to Confrontation
Initially, Musk joined several advisory councils of Trump, although he distanced himself from some due to political disagreements. Despite this, the relationship remained with its ups and downs, even with rumors of Musk's donations to Trump's campaign and his appointment to lead the Department of Government Efficiency.
The Recent Explosion
Tensions erupted when Musk harshly criticized Trump's spending bill, calling it a "disgusting abomination." Trump responded by accusing Musk of "going crazy" and claiming that he had "fired" him from his administration, something Musk denied. The dispute escalated further when Musk hinted on X (though he later deleted it) that Trump was in the files of Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting that this was the reason for his secrecy.
Trump, for his part, has threatened Musk with "serious consequences" if he funds his political rivals and has hinted at cutting subsidies and government contracts that benefit companies like SpaceX and Tesla. Musk, in turn, has hinted at his support for Trump’s opponents. The former president has publicly stated that his relationship with Musk "is over."
Possible Consequences
This confrontation could impact Musk's businesses, especially SpaceX, which relies on government contracts. It has also generated turbulence in Tesla's stock and could have significant political repercussions, given the influences of both figures.
In summary, what began as a collaboration has turned into a high-profile fight with potential political and economic consequences.
