From Allies to Enemies: The Real Reason Behind Trump and Musk’s Feud
🇺🇸 Trump vs. Musk: From Bromance to Bitter Fallout – What Happened?
Once praised for their surprising political alignment, former President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk are now locked in a very public and personal feud. Once seen as allies in reshaping America’s technological and political landscape, the two high-profile figures are now trading verbal blows and accusations.
A Relationship Gone Sour
According to reports by The Washington Post and News1, multiple anonymous sources revealed that Trump has recently referred to Musk as a "major drug addict" during private conversations with supporters. This follows media coverage by The New York Times, which mentioned Musk’s alleged excessive ketamine use during the election season, reportedly leading to health issues.
White House insiders suggest that Trump’s growing concern over Musk’s alleged drug use was a turning point in their relationship. The former president has grown increasingly disillusioned with Musk’s unpredictable behavior, including his aggressive leadership style, lack of political finesse, and ideological friction with Trump’s MAGA base.
Government Chaos and Political Missteps
One key incident cited by The Washington Post involved an email campaign from Musk-led DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), demanding federal workers submit performance reports. The campaign bypassed communication protocols and even reached federal judges and security-cleared personnel without prior notice—sparking frustration and concern within the Trump administration.
Additionally, Musk’s failed attempt to sway a Wisconsin Supreme Court election by pouring resources into a conservative candidate who eventually lost further undermined his political capital. Republican insiders began viewing Musk not as an asset, but as a liability.
More Tensions: Policy Clashes and NASA Fallout
Tensions escalated when Musk publicly criticized Trump’s trade and tariff policies, leading to heated exchanges with senior White House officials, including Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon. Around the same time, Musk’s influence in the administration waned, and opposition to him grew stronger.
The fallout intensified when Trump withdrew his support for Jared Isaacman, a Musk-backed nominee for NASA chief, citing Isaacman’s past donations to Democratic candidates. This not only crushed Musk’s space ambitions but also pushed the relationship to its breaking point.
The Final Blow and Public Drama
Trump recently told reporters at the White House that he was “disappointed” in Musk, and in a separate NBC interview, declared their relationship officially over, accusing Musk of "disrespecting the presidency."
Musk responded by sharing a video linking Trump to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, implying deeper connections. Though Musk later deleted several controversial posts, including one calling for Trump’s impeachment and replacement with VP JD Vance, the damage appears done.
Is Reconciliation Possible?
While a White House official mentioned that “there’s still room for reconciliation,” the general sentiment is that their bromance has turned into a cold war—one that’s unlikely to thaw anytime soon.
