Trump and Misk enter bitter runner
North American correspondent
What happens when the richest person and the most powerful politicians have a super battle?
The world may be about to know that.
The dispute between Elon Musk and Donald Trump began in a lower fire last week, and he started invading on Wednesday and is now in full boiling. Like everything that these two men do, the collapse of their relationships leaks into public opinion. Trump owns and holds two of the largest loudspeakers in the world, and they have now turned them over each other.
In the notes at the Oval Office on Thursday afternoon, Trump looked like a lover.
He expressed his surprise at the criticism of Musk for his tax legislation and “great and beautiful” spending. It was stated against the idea that he would have lost the presidential elections last year without hundreds of millions of millions of musk. He said that Musk was only changing his melody now because his car company, Tesla, would be hurt by the Republicans to end the tax credits for electric cars.
Musk moved to its social media, X, with a very 220 million generation X to his followers: “whatever it is.” He said he is not interested in car benefits, he wanted to reduce the national debt, which he says is an existential threat to the nation. He insisted that the Democrats would have prevailed in last year’s elections without helping him. “Such inflammation,” Trump said.
The billionaire launched a series of extraordinary attacks throughout the afternoon, including A suggestion without evidence that Trump appears in the unpublished files related to the late sex crime, Jeffrey Epstein. The White House rejected this last comment, “An unfortunate episode of Elon.”
Musk and Trump formed a strong but unlikely alliance, as it peaked in the technological billionaire that has a major position in the budget mobility authority in the Trump administration. The Ministry of Governmental efficiency in Musk, or Doug, became one of the largest stories in the first 100 days of Trump, closing entire agencies and rejected thousands of government workers.
However, it wasn’t time long before speculation started when the two big people decrease – and how – ultimately.
For a while, those predictions seemed outside the mark. Trump stood by musk even with the latter’s decline, as he was permeated with administration officials, while he became a responsibility in many major elections earlier this year. Every time there is a break, musk will appear in the Oval Office, in the Cabinet Chamber or on the President’s Air Force flight to Mar Lago.
When Musk ended 130 days in his capacity as a “private government employee” last week, the two had a vibrant oval office, with a golden key for the White House and hints until Musk may return one day.
It is safe to say that any invitation has been canceled and the locks were changed.
“I had a great relationship,” Trump said on Thursday – a remarkable comment for his use of the last generator.
There was some thought that Trump’s sudden announcement on Wednesday night due to a new travel ban, additional penalties for Harvard University and the administrative investigation called the plot to former President Joe Biden were all efforts to change the issue from Musk’s criticism. The White House and its allies in Congress seemed keen not to return it after its previous comments.
Then Trump spoke and … a lot for that.
Trade and threats
Now the question is where the conflict goes after that. Republicans in Congress can find it difficult to keep their members behind the Trump bill with Musk providing the letter – and perhaps financial – for those who break their ranks.
Trump, who is proud to be a devastating antibiotic, will have a lot of opportunities to lie in musk. What will happen to Dog’s allies in Musk who are still in the Trump administration or government contracts for musk related companies or investigations during the Biden era in business transactions?
“The easiest way to save money in our budget, billions and billions of dollars, is to finish Ellen’s government subsidies and contracts,” Trump has released politely on his website on social media.
If Trump turns the government mechanism against Musk, the billionaire will feel pain technology. Tesla’s share price fell by 14 % on Thursday.
But Musk also has limitless resources to respond, including by financing rebel competitors for Republicans in next year’s elections and preliminary elections. It may not win a battle against the entire Trump government, but it can be a high political price.
Meanwhile, Democrats are on the margin, and they wonder how they respond. A few of them seem ready to welcome Musk, a former donor in their party, return to the barn. But there is also the old example that the enemy’s enemy is a friend.
“It is a zero game,” Liam Kerr, a democratic strategic expert, told Politico. “Anything that does it moves more towards Democrats hurts the Republicans.”
At least, the Democrats seem happy to stand and allow the two men to exchange strikes. In order to give up this battle, religion is likely to drown everything else in American politics.
But do not expect this to end spit at any time soon.
Musk wrote on X, “Trump has been 3.5 years old as a president, but I will be present for 40 years.”
