Elon Musk's previously supportive tone toward Donald Trump has soured as he publicly criticized Trump's budget bill and his associations. Amid Tesla's dwindling stock value and political pressures, Musk's loyalty is questioned, particularly after investing significantly in Trump's campaign. Trump expressed disappointment in Musk, highlighting the unpredictability of their relationship and Musk's diminishing standing. The article contextualizes this rift using historical parallels, suggesting a cyclical nature in political alliances and betrayals, much like Napoleon's shifting allegiances during his reign.
Now Musk is using X to call Donald Trump's budget bill a "disgusting abomination" and to bang the table about the President's well-known ties to the financier and child abuser Jeffrey Epstein.
I'm very disappointed in Elon," Trump told reporters on Thursday. "I've helped Elon a lot." And perhaps there was a Trumpian magnanimity in allowing Musk to sink two hundred and fifty million dollars into the 2024 campaign.
