#TrumpVsMusk The relationship between former President Donald Trump and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk has shifted from collaboration to confrontation, reflecting deeper political and personal tensions.

Initially, Musk played a significant role in Trump's administration, leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with a mission to reduce federal spending. Trump praised Musk's efforts, highlighting his intelligence and leadership in implementing executive orders. [1]

However, the alliance deteriorated when Musk publicly criticized Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," citing concerns over increased national debt and cuts to essential programs.
