Trump and Musk had a good relationship, but he isn’t sure if they’ll be back
“The Way is slim and beautiful” and “Pork filled”: A Trump-Muslim Scandal on the Republican Megabill
President Trump surprised him when he found out that his one-time adviser and tech mogul, Musk, was bashing the Republican megabill in support of Trump’s domestic policy priorities.
He said Musk “knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody” and “never had a problem until right after he left.” On X, Musk quickly countered, claiming “this bill was never shown to me even once.”
Musk, who for months led the Trump administration’s government-slashing unit until he left the role last week, has been actively attacking the megabill for days, calling it “pork-filled” and a “disgusting abomination.”
There has never been legislation that was both beautiful and big in the history of civilization. “Everyone knows this! Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim and beautiful bill. The way is slim and beautiful.
The Baby-Mums Are Fighting: Trump and Musk, the Space X Dragon, are Fighting Against The President’s Planned Denaturalization
“They leave, and they wake up in the morning, and the glamor is gone. The whole world is different, and they become hostile, I don’t know what it is,” Trump said.
The May ended but it seems that the meltdowns are just beginning. Right now, we’re watching two men with leverage over each other fight with vague threats and public information. But that fight just keeps escalating, and the stakes could not be higher.
The member of Musk’s coterie of baby mamas has taken to the Internet to weigh in. Ashley St. Clair, who is currently engaged in a paternity suit with Musk, wrote on X, “hey @realDonaldTrump lmk if u need any breakup advice.”
Democrats of the House Oversight Committee are trying to subpoena Musk. Nancy Mace (R-SC) suspended the hearing to give Republicans time to arrive and vote against the subpoena. If Trump demanded it, it would be easy to imagine another vote that would get Musk in front of Congress.
Musk said to make his day. Then, he posted, “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That was the real reason they haven’t been made public. Musk has also dined with Epstein, and has been subpoenaed for documents in an Epstein-related lawsuit.
Musk hasn’t sent that $100 million check and may not send it after this. He also has enough money to fund primary challenges all over the country, as well as engage in aggressive lobbying against the bill — or any future pet Trump project. If SpaceX contracts are canceled, that may strand some military satellites, too.
Musk said, “In light of the President’s statement about cancellation of my government contracts, SpaceX will begin its denaturalization immediately.” The SpaceX Dragon is used to fly cargo and crew to the International Space Station.

A reality TV squabble between Donald Trump and Elon Musk: The girl are fighting ggg, or is it really time to create the new political party in America?
I would question the use of “went” in that sentence but sure. That is an actionable threat. (Also jawboning, though at this point who’s keeping track?) It would probably fuck up what’s left of NASA in a pretty significant way, but whatever.
Now, both of these men are excellent at commanding attention, and this is a reality-TV squabble playing out on social media. It is not all that nice. A government contractor who relies heavily on federal contracts posting about the deficit serves up a nice volley. It was spiked by Trump.
Stephen Miller and Charlie Kirk were also unfollowed by Musk. He retweeted old clips of himself saying that the federal deficit needed to come down, and put up a poll: “Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?” The poll is, as of this writing, pinned to Musk’s profile. It’s in the lead with 83 percent of the votes.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk, two of the most media-addled personalities of our time, are publicly torching their relationship by posting on the public social media networks they each respectively own. I have seen theories that this is kayfabe, and I don’t buy it. Before they worked with each other, Musk and Trump had talked publicly about each other. But this is real; threats are being made. I’m just not sure how serious it is.
