The explosive fallout between former President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk has left their global right-wing allies in an uncomfortable position of silence. The public spat, which erupted on Thursday, marked the end of what was considered the most defining partnership of Trump’s second term.
According to The Washington Post, the conflict began with harsh exchanges between the two prominent figures, with Trump reportedly calling Musk a “big-time drug addict,” while Musk responded by linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein’s affairs. The dispute also highlighted disagreements over policy matters, with Musk criticizing Trump-backed legislation by promoting posts that praised Argentine President Javier Milei’s approach to public spending cuts.
