Trump and Musk: From Bromance to Bitter Blowout!

2025-06-06 12:00:51.021

The relationship between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, once seemingly unshakeable, spectacularly imploded. The conflict escalated rapidly after Trump criticized Musk's stance on his spending bill. Musk retaliated by publicly calling for Trump's impeachment, criticizing Trump's tariffs, and even suggesting Trump's involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein case was the reason the files remained unreleased. Trump responded by threatening to cut Musk's government contracts with SpaceX and Starlink. Musk defiantly replied, "Go ahead, make my day." The fallout resulted in a significant drop in Tesla's stock price, costing Musk billions. Their relationship, marked by intense public displays of support, including Musk's substantial financial backing of Trump's campaign, ended as abruptly as it began. Musk's claim that he was instrumental in Trump's election victory added insult to injury for the former president.
