President Donald Trump and former Department of Government Efficiency head Elon Musk, who once called each other "best friends" and relied on one another for policy decisions, engaged in a bitter public feud Thursday night after Musk left the administration and criticized the GOP's "big beautiful bill."
The feud, which quickly drew millions of reactions across social media platforms, splashed into other public officials, which are now in the spotlight due to their close relationship to the two men.
