The world’s richest man and the President of the United States, a no -old-wise and very public shock is social media egog in recent times, each has made serious allegations against the other.

And while Tech billionaire Elon Musk has cooled the spat to some extent-removing some of his more inflammatory social media posts about Donald Trump-the President still does not appear in any mood, warning “very serious consequences” if he supports democrats in mid-term elections in 2026.

Tension erupted on Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ (OBBB). OBBB has proposed a comprehensive tax deduction that can add about 3 trillions USD 3 trillions to the US national loan.

After removing his role as Trump’s advisor, Musk criticized OBBB as “disgusting disgusting”, which would “burden the US (SIC) citizens with crushing uncertain debt”.

Trump returned the fire, suggesting that “Elon was wearing thin”, I asked him to leave (…) and he just went mad! “

In a dramatic growth, Kasturi replied by calling Trump for impeachment.

Musk also alleged that Trump was implicated in Epstein files related to child sexual criminal Jeffrey Epstein. He has since removed those tweets since then.

Why is the too much “bromance” between Musk and Trump suddenly ended? And what was the basis of their alliance in the first place?

Musk in politics

Like many billionaires, Musk was the first hesitant to join the frontline politics. He says that he voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020, but in 2021 claimed “I would like to stay out of politics”.

In the early 2024, the Musk was still claiming to be politically non-composed, suggesting that he would not donate the presidential campaign.

This clear neutrality ended after trying to kill Trump at the campaign rally in July 2024, in which Kasturi immediately supported Trump.

In fact, the conversion into Musk’s Mag movement predicted a long -standing attempt to murder. The hypercarious Twitter/X account of the musk shows a stable fundamentalist.

Across 2020-24, Musk was engaged with accounts sharing the principles of Maga and distant conspiracy. These include antisemtic great replacement theory and concerned South African white massacre conspiracy.

Musk’s post also depicts passion with the characteristic of the Maga movement opposing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies.

After supporting Trump, Musk spent US $ 288 million supporting Trump’s election and appeared in campaign programs across the country.

Musk’s support for Trump was both ideological and practical.

From tax deduction to immigration restrictions, there were clearly several ideological similarities between Kasturi and Trump, to oppose the dei.

There were also clear practical benefits for both men. Trump received the financial support of the world’s wealthiest man. Musk not only had a unique access to the US President, but also led the new department of government’s efficiency (DOGE).

Doge: Success and Failure

Initial reporting on the second Trump Presidency referred to the omnipotent of Kasturi, who went to Trump’s Mar-e-Lago Resort to be close to the President at one point.

However, observers had doubts about the potential effectiveness of Dogi, and Mask’s claim will save the government 2 trillion USDs.

In the early months of the Trump administration, Musk deducted government programs and employees at a remarkable rate.

USAID program Was especially hard hit, as was Education department And Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

As the spending cuts increased the speed, Kasturi began to attract more controversies.

Critics questioned the clear power by the unrelated billionaire. After appearing to do two ‘Roman Salute’, the relationship between Musk’s right side was also in the news, which was considered by many observers considered Nazi salutes.

Trump Clip Musk Wings

Musk’s clear rampage did not last long through the government. Trump’s executive appointments took control of their departments, Kasturi and Dogi experienced increasing resistance. Following a series of Fractius cabinet meetings, Trump allegedly reduced Dog’s power in March.

Political attention was also clearly affecting Musk’s businesses. There is enough negative publicity Tesla brand damagedLeading to a decline in sales worldwide and Tesla’s share price fell repeatedly.

On 1 May, Musk announced that he would leave Dogi, claiming that the department had saved the government from 180 billion WASDs. This number is a possibility of an exaggeration, but still less than its original goal.

Musk has learned a harsh lesson in politics – that the complications of the government oppose simple improvement and a CEO cannot easily take back a company in the way a company dilute.

For Trump, his maneuver of Kasturi seems to have another smart political move.

As a public face of Dogi, Musk bore negative rap for early government cuts and chaos. After using his money and reputation, Trump shattered with musk – as he has so many advisors and appointments.

Falling

Musk left his role at a silent white house ceremony, where Trump thanked him for his service and presented him with a formal ‘Golden Ki’ at the White House.

However, behind the public shows of public performance, there was tension on a large beautiful bill of Trump.

Trump and Musk originally claimed that USD 2 trillion in Dogi Saving could be used for a sufficient tax cut.

With efficiency savings, Kasturi did not worry that OBBB has greatly increased the US public debt.

Unable to convince Trump or other Republican MLAs, Musk launched a ‘Kill the Bill’ campaign for X, leading to his fire -set performance with Trump.

For his share, Trump has provoked musk, suggesting musk only opposed OBBB as it cut subsidy for electric vehicles.

Although subsidy cuts will affect Tesla, although Musk has supported ending the first subsidy. Musk’s anger in OBBB is more likely than the feeling played by Trump.

What now?

Trump has used and abandoned many other powerful figures in his chaotic political career. Musk has the most power, and may be able to strike back into Trump.

Nevertheless, with his public reputation and brands already fady, Kasturi will be ill to choose further quarrels with Trump and his adorable Maga movement.

Accordingly, Musk has indicated over the weekend that it is open to a dentant. Tesla’s investors would have no doubt that if Musk does a good job on the pledge of retreating from politics and returning to his businesses.

There are possibilities for more and more democracy. Voters appear to be less in the role of the audience that are forced to watch reality TV plays, with a handful of money and power to focus on a handful of billionaires.

Although Trump has won in this era of billionaire battle Royale, whatever is ahead, democracy is real.
