Trump and Musk's Differences: Allies or Hidden Agendas?

Once upon a time, Trump and Musk seemed to share common ground on issues like free speech, anti-establishment views, and criticism of mainstream media, even having moments of mutual appreciation. However, in recent times, the two have drifted apart, with their differences becoming increasingly apparent. From AI policy and electric vehicle subsidies to immigration issues, these reveal the instability of their relationship as 'political tech allies.'

In recent years, Musk has actively defended free speech and criticized government overreach in technological development, but on AI regulation, he has begun to support government involvement in establishing norms, which contradicts Trump's consistent stance of 'anti-regulation and pro-free market.' Additionally, Trump advocates for a revival of traditional energy, whereas Musk's core business, Tesla, is based on new energy and green policies, reflecting fundamentally opposing ideologies.

Interestingly, in the 2024 U.S. election, Musk has yet to clearly express support for Trump, prompting much speculation within conservative circles. Although the two may still collaborate on certain issues in the short term, their differences represent the fundamental distinctions between technology and politics: one is profit-driven and innovative, while the other is focused on power and populism.

They may have once walked side by side, but they may not be able to walk together to the finish line.
