Good morning. “I love @realDonaldTrump as much as a straight man can love another man,” Elon Musk posted on X in February. He had numerous sleepovers at the White House, where he ate a late-night tub of caramel Häagen-Dazs at Trump’s suggestion. But relationships are hard, and all the harder when the protagonists are billionaire narcissists whose exes tend to be asked to sign NDAs.
Earlier this week, Musk posted an astonishing broadside against his former boss’s flagship piece of tax and spending legislation, calling it a “disgusting abomination”. And, you know, passion makes us say things we regret sometimes! Maybe they could patch things up, you might have thought.
