Trump & Elon: From bromance to... cold shoulder?

[Ron]

So apparently Trump is not too happy with Elon these days. Word is he’s been privately venting that Musk is “disloyal” and has a “huge ego” (lol, takes one to know one?). Kinda wild considering not long ago they were besties, remember Elon sitting on those economic advisory boards during Trump's term and calling him a “good friend”? Fast forward to 2024/25 and now it’s all shade and silence.
Some say Elon’s flirting with RFK Jr. and DeSantis didn’t sit well with the Donald. Others think Trump just doesn’t like sharing the spotlight with another billionaire who loves posting unfiltered rants.
Anyway, just another weird subplot in the ongoing billionaire reality show we call U.S. politics 🇺🇸✨
Pass the popcorn.

Honestly, I’m on Elon Musk’s side in this one.
Besides being a bit eccentric, he’s right to call out how governments or powerful groups try to control what gets shown on social media. It’s not cool that any government can have direct influence over content or censor things. At least Elon is bringing attention to the issue, which a lot of others won’t do.
Plus, it’s pretty ironic how Trump was praising him before when it worked for him, but now he’s attacking Elon because he’s not useful anymore. That says way more about Trump than Elon.

Oof, this got icy real fast. But seriously, what are these Epstein files Musk is talking about where he claims Trump is mentioned? That sounds like a major accusation... anyone know more about that?

What are the Epstein files Musk accuses Trump of being mentioned in?

Elon Musk's post on X alleging that the US president is in the Epstein files has strained their relationship. Trump has denied the claim and called Musk's criticism baseless.

This is getting really intense. Elon dropping these kinds of public accusations is a major shift, especially since he was one of the biggest business backers of Trump during much of his campaign. But yeah, challenging Elon publicly definitely comes with consequences… and now it looks like he’s ready to play hardball if he feels betrayed. This is way past a “bromance” , it’s an ego war with some heavy ammo.
