#TrumpVsMusk The political world is still reeling from the spectacular implosion of the "bromance" between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, a feud that has escalated from polite disagreements to bitter public insults in a mere 10 days. What started as Musk expressing "disappointment" over Trump's "big, beautiful bill" – a massive tax and spending package – has spiraled into a full-blown war of words with potentially huge implications.
Just last week, Musk exited his role as a special government employee, seemingly on amicable terms. But the underlying tensions over the fiscal bill quickly erupted. Musk, a vocal critic of the bill's impact on national debt and its proposed cuts to EV subsidies (which directly affect his Tesla business), took to X, calling the legislation a "disgusting abomination."
