The Most Dramatic Breakup: Musk Calls for Trump's Impeachment
There is no doubt that this is the most dramatic breakup in today's world. Even the best Hollywood screenwriters couldn't come up with the latest White House drama.
Musk and Trump have completely fallen out. Not only has Musk exposed Trump's scandals, but he has also publicly called for Trump's impeachment.
As super influencers, their spittle flies across the entire world internet.
An angry Trump tweeted twice on June 5.
I believe we all could have predicted this parting of ways,
After all, it's difficult for two such strong leaders to stay together; Trump wouldn't allow Musk to steal his spotlight. But I believe many of us didn't expect such a dramatic breakup, and so fast, so thorough.
What does "parting ways amicably, living happily" mean?
That is absolutely impossible; instead, they will be sworn enemies from now on.
Why did this happen?
Some American media have summarized four recent turning points:
1. Involving the reduction of electric vehicle tax subsidies, Trump advocated for cancellation, which made Musk very angry.
2. Involving Musk's tenure at the White House, Musk may have hoped for an extension, but Trump refused.
3. Involving Musk's "Starlink" satellite system, the Trump administration canceled relevant contracts, leaving Musk very disappointed.
4. Involving Musk's ally Jared Isaacman, Trump nominated Isaacman to be NASA Administrator but then suddenly changed nominees, which was a public slap in Musk's face.
Of course, this is from Trump's perspective. From Musk's point of view, the Trump administration is completely messing things up, using him to cut various unnecessary expenditures while turning around to increase budgets for more spending; the U.S. debt is fundamentally unsustainable, and he feels like a fool being played.
Moreover, he has paid a painful price for serving Trump, only to be discarded in the end; how can he not be angry?
But the consequence of this anger has been a sharp drop in Tesla's stock price—annoying Trump has serious repercussions.
An even more exciting drama is unfolding. I've seen many American netizens lamenting: the popcorn in their hands is no longer enough to eat.
