The relationship between United States (US) President Donald Trump and famous entrepreneur Elon Musk is heating up. The two public figures are involved in an open argument reflecting the tension between government economic policies and the interests of giant businesses.
The root of this latest conflict stems from Musk's sharp criticism of the major bill proposed by Trump's camp. The draft includes significant tax cuts, increased defense spending, and border strengthening. For Musk, these policies are a recipe for disaster.
"(Trump) will destroy millions of jobs in the US and cause enormous strategic losses for our country,"
As a form of extreme protest and a real threat to the US political landscape, Musk even floated the idea of forming his own political party. The party he named 'American Party' would, according to him, be an alternative force if the bill he criticized were passed.
