The recent public spat between Donald Trump and Elon Musk marks a dramatic end to their brief alliance. Formerly a supporter and key figure in Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, Musk launched scathing critiques against Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill," citing concerns over national debt.

Trump retaliated by threatening to cut federal contracts for Musk's companies. The feud escalated with personal insults, Musk claiming Trump is in the "Epstein files" and implying Trump couldn't have won the election without him, while Trump accused Musk of having "Trump derangement syndrome." This very public breakup signals a significant shift in their relationship and could have implications for Musk's businesses and the political landscape.
