A bromance ends: Trump-Musk friendship goes from meteoric rise to epic meltdown in under a year!

The rapid and intense bromance between two of the world’s most powerful men – Donald Trump and Elon Musk – grew fast during the election season. It came to a crashing halt less than six months after Trump’s return to the White House.

“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Musk wrote on X in the tweet that seemingly killed the friendship.

Musk was once Trump’s critic and became his friend as the Tesla head pushed further right in his political leanings. It hit its apex after the assassination attempt on Trump in July. Musk then joined Trump on the campaign and quickly dubbed himself ‘first buddy.’ That led to Musk becoming the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, which was tasked with slashing the federal budget.

The relationship turned sour as the two disagreed over Trump’s spending bill. Musk left the White House and the two remained friendly, at least in public. That changed as Musk posted criticism of the bill online and culminating with the meltdown on social media between the two.
