#特朗普马斯克分歧

Trump and Musk, this pair of former "plastic brothers", have finally torn apart the last layer of filter.

On one side is the traffic president, on the other is the tech guru; one controls the public opinion through rhetoric, while the other pushes the era forward with rockets, electric cars, and AI. It was thought to be a divine partnership of strong forces, but in the end, it turned out to be a "political-business palace drama".

From mutual insults in 2016 to a handshake and reconciliation after the "assassination incident" in 2024, Musk once became the C-position guest of Trump's campaign team, even leading the establishment of the "Department of Government Efficiency DOGE", donating millions daily and driving the narrative online. The two were once close enough to ride in a Model S onto the White House lawn and jointly shout "Make America Great Again".

Unfortunately, this "friendship" lasted only until June 2025. The breaking point was a "Beautiful Bill" (One Big Beautiful Bill Act) strongly pushed by Trump, to which Musk responded with a furious tirade, calling it "disgusting", "shameful", and "nauseating", even dragging in the "Epstein files", causing Trump to become agitated and directly threaten to cancel federal contracts.

Musk felt betrayed, while Trump responded, "He’s been annoying for a long time, I let him go." The two took turns firing at each other on X and Truth Social, fully engaging in the confrontation.

Ultimately, this relationship was transactional from the beginning. Trump needed tech traffic to stand on stage, while Musk sought policies and exposure; both are adept at creating icons and are used to controlling the stage. But there can only be one protagonist on stage, and when interests conflict irreconcilably, "brotherhood" turns into a scripted murder mystery.

As spectators, let's not get too immersed in the drama—history will remember the highlights and failures of this "political-business CP", but the market will always care about who can control the narrative in the next round.

What do you think? In this breakup, did Musk win freedom, or did Trump preemptively clear the risk? Feel free to spar in the comments!
