Breaking: The Musk–Trump Fallout Is Getting Real
They were once the most chaotic duo in the game. Now? Looks like the bromance is done.
Despite Musk allegedly throwing $100M+ behind Trump’s comeback bid, the vibes have shifted—and X is on fire.
The Turning Point:
On April 11, Musk called Trump’s proposed NASA budget cuts “shortsighted.”
A few days before that, he flamed Trump advisor Peter Navarro as an “idiot.”
🔸 From ally to opposition—Musk’s tone is not subtle anymore.
Where It All Went South:
🔸 Musk lost $30B+ during Trump’s tariff war
🔸 Got iced out of the Stargate AI initiative
🔸 Still politically sidelined, despite being one of the loudest pro-Trump tech voices last year
The Tariff Trap:
Trump’s new wave of tariffs triggered $80B in billionaire losses in just 48 hours.
Musk? Doubly hit—and publicly reshared Thomas Friedman’s anti-tariff rant.
Rumor has it: insiders cashed in with loopholes… Musk wasn’t one of them.
The Breaking Point:
On April 10, Trump reportedly told him:
“We don’t need Musk.”
Just a customer, not a partner.
Musk didn’t take that lightly.
🔸 Dropped Grok 3 API
🔸 Showcased humanoid robots from XAI
🔸 Brushed off Trump’s military AI rollout like it was yesterday’s news
Now running the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk is playing his own game—and it’s big.
What’s Next?
The NASA beef might just be the warm-up.
Meanwhile, crypto eyes are watching closely—could $DOGE be Musk’s political wildcard?
Let’s see who makes the next move.
