Despite the fact that observers have long thought that Donald Trump and Elon Musk would eventually fall out, few predicted the speed and fury from which their social media flared.
Since Musk promised full support for the president after trying to assassinate Pennsylvania less than a year ago, political and business interests of two men are becoming more intertwined.
In several key spheres – including political financing, government contracts and their personal relations – both men came to rely on each other, which means that stopping the alliance may be dirty.
This complicates the fall from their rupture and guarantees that where the line will go from here, they will continue to contact – and may be able to harm each other in several ways.
Funding for the company
Over the last year Musk donations for Trump and other Republicans have been huge The company tracking site open the secrets of open secrets.
Musk on Thursday claimed that the president won the election from him and complained about “ingratitude”.
There is a clear counter -offensive – earlier this year, Musk dragged $ 20 million into a key court race to Wisconsin. However, his elected candidate for the republican lost 10 percentage points in the state that Trump won last November.
However, Moscow donations are a huge part of the money that Republicans will miss in November 2026 when they try to take advantage of Congress.
Perhaps this was the problem they encountered anyway. Earlier, Musk stated that he would make “much less” in the future.
But can a break with the White House offer Musk not just to respond, but also throw money for counteraction to Trump?
He hinted like such on Thursday when he posted a survey on the X with the question: “It is time to create a new political party in America, which actually represents 80% in the middle?”
State contracts and investigations
Musk, including SpaceX, its subsidiary Starlink and TESLA, is leading a huge amount of business with the US government.
Spacex was only Awarded 20.9 billion dollars (16.3 billion pounds) in US state contracts since 2008According to BBC analysis, check
Trump realizes that it gives him leverage in connection with the richest person in the world and yesterday posted about the truth of the social: “The easiest way to save money in our budget, billions and billions of dollars – to stop state subsidies and contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t!”
Musk threatened to avenge Dragon SpaceX, which translates astronauts and supplies to the International Space Station. But he later abandoned this threat.
In practice, the cancellation or withdrawal of government contracts would be complicated and long legal process, and for some time, the US government is likely to continue a significant amount of business with Moscow companies.
No company except SpaceX can make the Dragon and Falcon 9 missiles, and the National Aviation and Space Administration (NASA) has pledged a number of space stations and monthly missions using SpaceX Craft.
Despite these commercial partnerships, Moscow and its companies also face investigations of a number of government agencies – more than 30, the New York Times reports – and regulatory issues such as approving the Tesla taxi offered without drivers.
People inside the government and the silicone valley
When the mask was given the task of creating a government efficiency department (DOGE) as one of Trump’s key drivers in the US Federal Government, it was given a wide volume to select its own staff.
According to DOGE employees, many of them have previously worked for Moscow companies. And although Musk left Dage a week ago, many employees remain at the government’s job.
Some Doge employees also have deep ties with Trump camp. Katie Miller, who worked in the first Trump administration and married the current deputy chief of staff of the White House Stephen Miller, was a press secretary.
However, CNN reported that last week Mrs. Miller also left the government and now works “full -time” for Musk.
The Trump administration has others whose loyalty can be checked for hostility. David Sachi, who called his main advisor to artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency, close to Musk, worked with the magnate decades ago on PayPal.
On X, many Silicon Valley executives, along with the influence of the world, chose the parties and dismantled each of the reports reported by the president and the richest person in the world.
A survey firm yougov Conducted a Snap survey on Thursday After asking the people with whom they will on the side – the results showed that 70% of the Republican respondents said that Trump compared to less than 1 of 10 who chose Musk.
