Trump vs Musk: Political Bromance Implodes Over Spending Bill
What Happened
A public fallout between Donald Trump and Elon Musk has erupted after Musk slammed the president’s flagship tax-and-spend bill, calling it a “disgusting abomination”. Trump responded by accusing Musk of personal bias over subsidy cuts. Musk fired back, claiming Trump showed “ingratitude” and wouldn’t have won the election without his help. The pair exchanged jabs on their respective platforms, escalating tensions over policy, power, and personal ego.
What Next
Musk has suggested forming a new centrist party and even implied Trump should resign. The White House condemned Musk’s unfounded claims linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, while Trump threatened to cut off Musk’s government contracts. Musk retaliated by announcing SpaceX will retire a key spacecraft. With Tesla shares sliding and the bill’s future uncertain, this bitter row may shape the next chapter of America’s political and economic landscape.
