Well, it finally happened. This city was not large enough for the two imposing Egos of the billionaire Elon Musk and President Donald Trump, and now they stand out publicly, although their own separate corners of the web.
Musk goes to his own social media platform, X, to take Trump, and Trump goes back to Truth Social and Fox News.
The quarrel arrives a few days later Musk left the first DogeAnd after Musk has repeatedly denied Trump’s “big and beautiful invoice”, a spending package that the Republicans of the House adopted in May. Musk described the bill “a disgusting abomination”, claiming that it would considerably increase the federal budget deficit up to 3.8 billions of additional debt in the next decade thanks to an increase in defense spending, measures to apply immigration and tax reductions.
In a way, the partitioned nature of this cries match seems poetic. He exhibits the cracks of the Musk-Trump political alliance and underlines how social media and the foundations of faithful fan have become to shape political accounts and influence the perception of voters.
Trump does what he often does, trying to discredit a potential rival. For Musk, it’s no longer a bet. Tesla has already fired from her large and flirts with the Trump administration. More of the same thing could further affect his business. Or this could consolidate its status of anti -establishment voice – a technological magnate that does not need traditional power structures to influence the American political landscape.
Musk suggested in x messages that he would cancel politicians who supported Trump’s budget bill in the mid-term of 2026. Pinned at the top of his X account is a survey Ask if it is “time to create a new political party in America that really represents 80% in the middle?” Two hours after the position, 82.3% of almost a million voters said “yes”.
Musk said barely a few weeks ago that he would take a step of politics to focus on his businesses. And it is these companies that Trump seems eager to punish. On Truth Social, Trump accused the musk of going “MAD“Because the administration” has removed its mandate from the FE which forced everyone to buy electric cars that no one wanted (that he knew for months that I was going to do! ”
Trump, here, refers to the EV tax credit under the law on the reduction of inflation of former President Joe Biden. There has never been a mandate that forced anyone to buy electric vehicles. Trump’s expenditure bill would end the tax credit by the end of this year.
On X, Musk at the end of this assertion and said that he had never had eyes on the bill before passing the house.
Trump also said that Musk exploded after the president refused to put someone that Musk “knew how to lead NASA very well” because he did not think it would be “appropriate”. He suggested that the simplest way to save money in the federal budget, “billions and billions of dollars” would be to “terminate the subsidies and government contracts from Elon”.
Musk companies have obtained at least $ 38 billion in public contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits over the next two decades, with almost two thirds promised in the past five years, in February Washington Post report.
Axios reported Wednesday, part of Musk’s frustration towards Trump’s expenditure bill and the administration as a whole did not lack favorable treatment for his companies. Not by coincidence, musk spent more than $ 260 million To elect Trump.
As the fight between Musk and Trump develops, it begins to become personal.
“Without me, Trump would have lost the elections, the DEMS would control the room and the Republicans would be 51 to 49 years old in the Senate”, ” Musk published In response to a Trump video throwing a shade on Musk on Fox News. “Such ingratitude.”
A few hours later, Musk decided to drop “the very large bomb”.
“”[Donald Trump] is in Epstein files, “wrote Musk on X.” This is the real reason why they were not made public. Have a good day, DJT!
A certain number of politicians, including the Republican senators, called Trump to publish government files on the financier Jeffrey Epstein, who was involved in a ring of sexual abuse and then committed suicide.
Musk said his aerospace company, SpaceX, would start downgrade His dragon spacecraft “immediately” in response to Trump’s threat to cancel the contracts granted to billionaire companies. (NASA uses Dragon for certain missions.) And in response to an article on X on the question of whether Trump should be dismissed, Musk replied“Yes.”
