Elon Musk to Trump: 'I Made You President', as billionaire Alliance Turns Hostile

BREAKING: Trump and Musk’s Alliance Implodes in Spectacular Fashion

In a dramatic turn of events, the once formidable alliance between President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk has unraveled, culminating in a public and bitter feud that has sent shockwaves through political and business circles alike.

From Allies to Adversaries

The rift became evident when Musk vehemently criticized Trump's latest tax and spending bill, labeling it a "pork-filled abomination" that undermines clean energy initiatives vital to Tesla's success. Musk argued that the legislation exacerbates the federal deficit and unfairly targets electric vehicle incentives, a cornerstone of his business empire.

Trump responded with characteristic fervor, accusing Musk of political disloyalty and suggesting he suffers from "Trump derangement syndrome." He further threatened to revoke government subsidies and contracts awarded to Musk's companies, intensifying the conflict.

Musk's Counterattack

Not one to back down, Musk took to his social media platform, X, to express his indignation. He claimed his substantial financial contributions—over $288 million—to Trump's re-election campaign were instrumental in securing the 2024 victory, asserting that without his support, Democrats would have dominated Congress.

Musk also hinted at the possibility of launching a new political party, signaling a potential shift in the political landscape.

Fallout and Implications

The fallout has not only strained their personal relationship but also raised questions about the future of Musk's role in the Trump administration. Previously appointed as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk had been instrumental in implementing drastic federal spending cuts. His departure from this role was confirmed during a joint press conference on May 30, 2025.

The public spat has emboldened critics of the tax bill and could have significant implications for Republican unity and legislative prospects. As the feud escalates, both Trump and Musk face the challenge of navigating the political and public fallout from their fractured alliance.
