Trump and Musk come into bitter hostility

What happens when the richest person and the most powerful politician dragged?

The world can learn about it.

Last week, the differences between Elon Musk and Donald Trump started at a slow plant, began to be built on Wednesday and now in full boiling. And, like everything that these two people do, the introduction of their relationship is poured into a public view. Trump and Musk have two of the largest megaphones in the world, and now they have turned them over.

The remarks in the oval office on Thursday day Trump sounded a little like a twisted lover.

He was surprised at Musk’s criticism over his “great, beautiful” legislation on taxes and expenses. He pushed away from the opinion that he would have lost the presidential election last year without hundreds of millions of Musk in support. And he said that Musk is now changing the tune because his automobile company Tesla will be affected by the republican pressing tax loans to electrical vehicles.

Musk switched to its site in social media X, with a reaction to the very generation of X for its 220 million followers: “Whatever it is.” He said he did not care for the car subsidies, he wanted to reduce government debt, which, he said, was an existential threat to the nation. He insisted that the Democrats would prevail in the elections last year without his help. “Such is the ingratitude,” he said Trump.

The billionaire launched a number of unusual attacks all day, including Judging without evidence that Trump appears in unpublished files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. BBC contacted the White House for comments.

Moscow and Trump created a powerful but unlikely union that ended in a technological billionaire, which holds a key position in the budget reduction in the Trump administration. The Moscow Department of Government Effectiveness, or Dodge, became one of the largest stories of Trump when he closed entire agencies and rejected thousands of state -owned workers.

However, it was not long before the assumptions began when – and how – two oversized faces would eventually fall out.

For some time it seemed that these forecasts were canceled. Trump stood for Musk, even when the popularity of the latter declined when he was guessing with the administration officials and, as he became responsible for several key elections earlier this year. Every time it appeared, there will be a break, Musk will appear in an oval office, or in the office room or in the Presidential Air Force flight.

When 130 days of Musk ended last week, as a “special government officer”, they had sending an oval office, with a gold key to the White House and hinting that Musk could ever return.

It is safe to say that any invitation was canceled and the locks were changed.

“We had a great relationship with Elon,” Trump said on Thursday – a comment that is characteristic of the last time.

There was a certain opinion that on Wednesday night on a new travel ban, additional sanctions on Harvard and the investigation of the administration, completed by the conspiracy of former President Joe Biden, were all efforts to change the topic from Moscow’s criticism. The White House and its allies in Congress seemed careful not to promote it after its previous comments.

Then Trump spoke and … so much for that.

Now the question is where the next dispute is. Congress -Republican can be more difficult to keep their members for Trump’s bill with Musk, which provides rhetorical – and perhaps financial – air for those who violate the titles.

Trump, proud of being a devastating contractor, will have many opportunities to enter Musk. What will happen to the Musk Dogers, which are still in the Trump administration or state contracts with a musk company or an investigation into Biden’s Business Deal?

“The easiest way to save money in our budget, billions and billions of dollars is to stop Elon’s state subsidies and contracts,” Trump threatens on his social media website.

When Trump turns a government car against Musk, the billionaire will feel pain. On Thursday, the price of Tesla’s shares plunged by 14%.

But Musk also has almost boundless resources to respond, including through the financing of the rivals rebels in the elections and primaries next year. It may not win the fight against the whole Trump government, but it can definitely get a high political price.

Meanwhile, the Democrats are in Baku, interested in how to respond. It seems that few want to welcome Musk, a former donor on his party, returned to the warehouse. But there is an old saying that the enemy’s enemy is a friend.

“This is a zero-sum game,” said Liam Ker, a democratic strategist. “Everything he does is moving more to the Democrats.”

At least the Democrats seem to be happy to retreat and allow two people to exchange blows. And until they give up this struggle, Din is likely to drown the rest in US politics.

But don’t expect this splash to end soon.

“Trump is 3.5 years left as a president,” Musk wrote on X, “I will be near 40 years old.”
