Trump and Musk sometimes 'genius', sometimes 'clown' for each other

Billionaire Musk not only helped to spread 'information/disinformation' through social network X, but also donated 25-300 million dollars to win the presidential election. Trump made Musk a 'cheerleader' in his election campaign, while Trump also became Tesla's brand ambassador. The relationship that started going downhill from the middle of February has now reached its peak.

Trump and Musk sometimes 'genius', sometimes 'clown' for each other

America's most powerful man, President Donald Trump, and the world's richest man, Elon Musk, are now in a very public spat as the relationship deteriorates. Although many predicted that the 'bromance' between these two, who are fierce, self-centered and do not like criticism at all, would not be sustainable, it was not thought that they would turn to accusations and insults so soon.

Their union-separation has been dubbed by the international media as 'dramatic', 'Big Beautiful Breakup'. 

"Biggest Bromance"

On February 7, Musk wrote on his social media platform X, "I love President Trump as much as one heterosexual man can love another heterosexual man." Did not! He poured almost 250 million US dollars to make the election campaign of Trump and the Republican Party successful. He went to election rallies and promoted Trump's policies through the media. Trump's opponents even insulted the Democrats on a personal level. 

After Trump was elected in November, Musk became even more busy. He spent almost 2 months at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, renting a villa worth more than 2,000 per day, making Trump's policies and preparing for his swearing-in. At the time, Musk was a staunch supporter of Trump and some of his far-right policies. Previously, Trump also singled out Musk as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOJ) created for Vivek Ramaswamy.

When entering the White House, this relationship was so close that according to the news, Trump offered Musk to live in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House. However, Musk did not accept that. Instead, he worked from his office in the adjoining Eleanor Building.

He appeared around Trump in every government event and visit, he gave an interview to Fox News' Sun Hannity with Trump and was active in each other's programs. At that time, an X account called "Republicans Against Trump" satirically said, "Trump seems to be closer to Musk than to Melania." 

Trump also supported this closeness. Not only has he pushed Musk for all of his major donations and political endorsements, he has consistently defended Musk's business and anarchic style as his favorite person.

In an email on February 27, Trump wrote, "I like Musk very much, the media has not liked our closeness and is trying to separate us." But they won't succeed, because Musk is a jerk. Trump called Musk a "great man" in several public statements and social media posts. At his swearing-in and victory rally, Musk also had a prominent seat. 

Trump's son called 'The Biggest Bromance in History' i.e. the best friendship in history. Whether it's launching a SpaceX rocket or promoting Tesla, Trump doesn't seem averse to being a 'cheerleader' for Musk's companies. The opposition and some raised questions about the conflict of interest, but Trump did not diminish his loyalty to Musk.

Last week, until Musk was about to leave the White House, Trump said, "Musk didn't have to do this, but he did as much crap as he could." Ilan is my friend and I am proud of that.'

How did the two fierce billionaires get close?

What was the reason for the closeness of these two billionaires who do not consider others as people and do not want to listen to others as much as possible? "There is a cliché saying in politics, here no one is a permanent enemy or a permanent friend, only permanent interests exist," Al Jazeera journalist Ali Harb wrote, "the same thing seems to be applied in the case of Trump and Musk." Common views on some major economic and political issues, mutual benefits and similar tendencies in working styles brought the two closer. 

Musk estimated that being close to Trump would have a direct impact on many of his business policies, including artificial intelligence (AI) technology, space business, electric vehicles, and would also benefit from connecting projects with government agencies. Similarly, Trump also had $25/300 million in political donations, strong influence in the media like X, and an opportunity for Musk to reach out to the technology-loving generation and garner their votes. In this way, Trump's need for a public figure who shares his views was fulfilled by the world's richest man.

Both Musk and Trump used to present themselves as outsiders in Washington politics. They gave a message that they are against traditional politics and want to destroy it. They came out aggressively in opposition to the growing American tendency towards liberalism called 'Wok'. The two seemed to share almost the same views on issues such as immigration, the overburdening of the US government, the erosion of family values, inclusive policies and US involvement in some countries outside its borders. 

"The closeness was possible because they have the same views on many things, such as cutting government spending, American companies should increase production and employment in their own country, reducing the US national debt and the economy should be the highest priority," Sanon Bond wrote on National Public Radio (NPR), "along with these policy and political similarities, some personal styles and personalities of Trump and Musk seemed to be compatible with each other." 

Both tycoons shared the idea that they wanted to dismantle Washington's political establishment. Both are known to dominate the media and criticize those who disagree with them in brutal ways. The two highly-followed businessmen, who share similar expressions of economic nationalism, often agree on issues such as America's need for immigration, voting rights, inclusive policies and tighter regulation of the media. To some extent, both Musk and Trump have criticized the big media in America as 'fake news' both personally and institutionally. Even the habit of making all their big and small announcements through social media became easier to get closer. 

The partnership between Trump and Musk was initially very strong. In the meeting of the Cabinet, when Trump asked, "Doesn't anyone have an objection to Musk's work?", there was an atmosphere of laughter. The couple's greatest success is their unprecedented success in the presidential and parliamentary elections and their return to the White House after 4 years by popular vote, promising to stand up against the liberal policies known as 'woke'. Maintaining the same style, the Trump administration under Musk's leadership fired more than 260,000 people, i.e. more than 10 percent of the total workforce.

Inclusion, diversity, backward areas that both dislike, agencies like USAID, Ministry of Environment, Department of Education are almost closed. Together, the two have succeeded in pushing American companies to produce at home, along with an aggressive policy on AI. Trump's AI policy is mainly focused on loose regulation (deregulation) and promotion of innovation. 

Where did things go wrong?

While Musk said that he loves Trump very much, the relationship between these two began to decline in the middle of February, according to the American media. Trope's thinking that he should be at the center of everything and that he should be the sole front in the media remained. As Musk also wants to be the headline of the news in his own style, there is an analysis of the media side that the issue of 'who is seen more' in the media has also played a role in increasing the distance. 

Some of Trump's major political partners were irritated by Musk's chaotic way of bringing a Tesla car in front of the White House to campaign, attending public events with an electric saw (chain saw) and working in a hackneyed style.

According to the news, Trump's advisers started to complain that Musk had violated jurisdiction. When the ministers started to get angry about the programs and employees of some agencies and were not asked about them, Trump got lost in thought. With that, Trump started saying that Musk would finish his duties soon and get out of Dodge. 

In the last Wisconsin election, despite big money and a lot of campaigning, the result did not go in favor of the Republicans. As there were protests against 'Dodge' across the country, the policy differences between Trump and Musk also increased.

From the beginning, there was a difference between the two in aggressively cutting the budget, reducing debt, reducing the number of appointments, and one after the other additional fees, namely tariffs, brought by Trump. As Trump's policies of tariffs and regulations began to affect his company, the outspoken Musk spoke out against them.

According to news in the media such as the New York Times, Musk was reprimanded by Foreign Minister Marco Rubio and another senior official in front of Trump at the cabinet meeting for speaking against tariffs. Then Musk began to become irritable and appear less frequently at public events. 

Only a short time ago, the economic bill, which was highly publicized by the Trump administration as the 'Big Beautiful Bill', became the biggest factor that caused a rift between the two. Musk criticized it, saying that the national debt should not be increased and that the current proposed arrangement would further cripple the US economy. It was also called 'disgusting'. The Republican administration, thinking that Musk's style of work has added weight to his party, said goodbye to Musk in a dull manner after the statement.

However, Trump and Musk's absence from public speaking along with Trump's visits and events confirm that Trump and Musk have not had a smooth relationship for the past few weeks. After his departure, Musk also launched personal criticisms and rants, initially against the bill and gradually against Trump himself. By the time this news is prepared, Musk is in the mood to open a new political party called 'American Party' saying that the existing two parties cannot solve the current problem. Not only did he criticize Trump's policies, but Musk linked Trump to the 'Jeffrey Epstein scandal' and accused him of being close to sex offenders. 

The most controversial post from Musk saying that Trump is also in the Epstein file was removed from X on Saturday. Not only this, the tweet in which Musk wrote an 'S' in a post saying 'Trump should be impeached and replaced by Vice President JD Vance' is not available now. Trump also sent a flurry of aggressive tweets after Trump threatened to cancel government grants and contracts related to Musk's SpaceX. His posts discussed the need to find an alternative to the current leadership and why the economy and politics cannot move forward with the current style.

What happens now?

"However, the situation seems to be somewhat calm for now," Rebecca Sneid wrote in Time magazine on Saturday, "But, Trump has given a clear indication that he has no plans to reconcile with Musk." Regarding taking back the White House keys given to Musk, Trump said, "It is not my custom to return something once given." According to Time, he refuted the news published by the New York Times about Musk taking drugs while walking with him. "I don't know that he would have done that," Trump said, "To be honest, I didn't think it was right when I read the news." 

According to some reports, White House aides and Bill Ackman are trying to broker a deal between Trump and Musk. However, Trump has said he has no plans to talk to Musk. Many have analyzed that if both of them take a stance of not backing down, this dispute will increase further or even if an agreement is reached, it will be temporary. Speaking to the media on Saturday, Trump responded to a post saying, "I wish Musk the best," and Musk said, "I wish the same for him." 

If Trump and Musk's quarrel continues, its economic and political effects will increase. Republicans will face problems in the next election by spending money politically and spend money to overcome some right-wing candidates and establish their agendar. Mus posting on X 'I worked with elections, if I didn't have captured both the President and Parliament, and the ungrateful'. This also knows his effect on the Republican Party. & Nbsp;

In some cases, a decrease in the White Widehouse that the Trump's agenda is spreading, the Trump's agendas may be reduced. & Nbsp;

Republicans, who are traditional criticizing of electric vehicles and green energy, can increase pressure on the mask through more strict registers.

According to AP News, Tesla has delayed the conductor of the conductor of Tesla's Self Driving Friving World War and NASA can affect the missions of space addictions. & Nbsp;

is not clear how it will be determined by dispute. However, there is a great opportunity for Mim Share, especially for the social network and especially the trump-mask pair. An Ukrainian user wrote on the Xi, said, "Barlami has been put forward between Trump and Mask within 24 hours. '(With the Assistance of the Agency)
