There's a feud between Trump and Musk?

For people out of the loop:

President Trump: "You saw a man who was very happy when he stood behind the Oval Desk...Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore. I was surprised." "He said wonderful things about me...he's worn the hat, 'Trump was right about everything,' and I am right about the Big Beautiful Bill."

President Trump: "Elon knew the innerworkings of this [Big Beautiful Bill]...he had no problem, all of a sudden he had a problem, only when he found out we're gonna have to cut the EV mandate." "He hasn't said bad about me personally, but I'm sure that'll be next. I'm very disappointed in Elon."

Elon Musk: Whatever. Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil & gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill. In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this! Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim and beautiful bill. Slim and beautiful is the way.

Elon Musk: False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!

Elon Musk: Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate.

Elon Musk: Such ingratitude.

Elon Musk: Where is this guy today??

Elon Musk: Where is the man who wrote these words? Was he replaced by a body double!?

Elon Musk retweeted a post from Wall Street Mav: "I fully agree with Elon. I simply hope this doesn't create long term damage between Elon and Trump."

President Trump on Truth Social

President Trump: Elon was “wearing thin,” I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!

Elon Musk: Such an obvious lie. So sad.

President Trump: The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!

This would both end the International Space Station and simultaneously provide no way to safely deorbit it.

Elon Musk: This just gets better and better 🤣🤣 Go ahead, make my day …

Elon Musk: Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!

Elon Musk: Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.

Elon Musk: In light of the President’s statement about cancellation of my government contracts, @SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately.

President Trump: I don’t mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago. This is one of the Greatest Bills ever presented to Congress. It’s a Record Cut in Expenses, $1.6 Trillion Dollars, and the Biggest Tax Cut ever given. If this Bill doesn’t pass, there will be a 68% Tax Increase, and things far worse than that. I didn’t create this mess, I’m just here to FIX IT. This puts our Country on a Path of Greatness. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Ian Miles Cheong: President vs Elon. Who wins? My money's on Elon. Trump should be impeached and JD Vance should replace him.

Elon Musk: Yes

This is just sad. It seems Trump just can't keep allies because he flies off the fucking handle every time someone questions one of his positions. Most of the time I agree with him but he shouldn't have gone there with Musk, who has been a tremendous ally to him and spent billions advancing freedom of speech and breaking the legacy media's grip on the public's conscience.

Meanwhile FBI and DOJ are doing absolutely fucking NOTHING after Elon put himself and his team and his businesses personally on the line with the DOGE audits.. and jack shit has been done about nearly everything they uncovered.

I'm pretty much out of hope after seeing how this admin continues to operate. There's no better option but this isn't what we voted for, this is status quo bullshit.

Quite sad of trump to break a friendship because the other person disagrees with him on something.

Sorry to overshare, but i know most people won't go to that cesspool, and this thread is one of hundreds like it, all of them bringing me joy! All this stuff is getting upvoted! On the donald!
