The alliance between tech titan Elon Musk and President Donald Trump seems all but irreparable now, but there have been reports suggesting that behind the scenes, efforts are underway to revive their marriage of convenience.
The policy that became the flashpoint between the two was the now-infamous “one big beautiful bill.” The bill is bloated at over 1,000 pages, with even Republicans who voted yes admitting—perhaps to their own detriment — that they were unable to fully go through the entire document. The bill promises to cut taxes by kicking Americans off Medicaid, but it was the idea of a potential increase in the budget deficit that truly sent Elon Musk off the ledge.
