Trump vs. Musk: From Allies to Enemies in Record Time
The relationship between Donald Trump and Elon Musk has shifted from camaraderie to public confrontation. Musk, who previously supported Trump and led the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), openly criticized the president's new tax law, calling it disastrous. In response, Trump accused him of having 'gone crazy' and threatened to cancel federal contracts for Tesla and SpaceX.
The dispute escalated when Musk suggested connections between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, sharing an old video of the former president at a party with the financier. This exchange triggered a wave of memes and comments on social media, comparing the fight to a teenage drama or an international spectacle.
Although some of Trump's allies, like Steve Bannon, labeled Musk's actions as a betrayal, others within the Republican Party expressed concern about the president's fiscal policy. The rift between these two influential figures could have significant political and economic implications in the near future.
