Once allies, now at odds—Donald Trump and Elon Musk have officially gone from power duo to public sparring partners.
The gloves came off Thursday after Musk slammed Trump’s flagship spending bill as a “disgusting abomination.”
He accused lawmakers of betrayal.
Trump hit back, saying he was “very disappointed” in Musk, hinting their bromance might be over.
Musk didn’t hold back either, firing off: “Without me, Trump would have lost the election.”
What’s The Reason?
It all boiled over after Musk left his post at the Department of Government Efficiency, where he famously slashed departments like USAID.
Though Trump defended the bill as vital, Musk argued it balloons the national debt.
He said it guts EV incentives while protecting fossil fuel subsidies.
“Keep the cuts,” Musk said, “but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK.”
By nightfall, Trump seemed to cool down—”It’s going very well,” he told Politico—and a call between the two was scheduled.
Still, Musk kept stirring the pot.
He even hinted at starting a new political party and throwing out an eyebrow-raising Epstein conspiracy.
Tesla’s stock plummeted 14%. The White House dismissed it all as sour grapes.
From bromance to blow-up, the Trump-Musk saga reminds us: politics makes for strange—and short-lived—bedfellows.
