He needs space: Yesterday, President Donald Trump and his right-hand man, former head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and occasionally-present CEO of X, Tesla, and SpaceX, Elon Musk, had a colossal blowup that played out in public, conducted primarily via X and Truth Social for all to see. At one point, Trump said he'd pull all the government subsidies and contracts Musk benefits from. At another, Musk accused Trump of being in the Epstein files, implying he was a frequent visitor to Pedo Island. The two, once thick as thieves, appear to be splitting up. Let me break it down for you.
It started with a Musk tweet over—oddly enough—government spending.
"I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination," Musk wrote on X on Tuesday. "Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it."
