Watch: How Trump and Musk’s fall out played out in real time The rift between US President Donald Trump and his former adviser Elon Musk has erupted into the open, with each trading insults after the tech billionaire criticised one of Trump's key domestic policies. The two billionaires escalated the feud throughout Thursday, lobbing barbs at each other on the social media sites they each own, suggesting a bitter conclusion to their unlikely alliance.
Main Idea: Donald Trump and Elon Musk are openly feuding after Musk attacked Trump’s major budget bill and Trump said he was disappointed.
Key Points:
The feud may slow debate on the tax-and-spending bill, which could leave taxpayers, patients, and households facing higher debt, weaker health coverage, or market swings if Tesla and Musk fight with Trump further.
The clash could force more public scrutiny of the bill and its costs, helping voters judge whether the plan protects ordinary families or mainly benefits special interests.
