Lovers’ spat – or acrimonious divorce? With two individuals so volatile as Donald Trump and Elon Musk, it is impossible to tell where their “relationship”, such as it now is, will go.
We know they were once close – a bromance, indeed, where Mr Musk declared he loved Mr Trump “as much as any straight man can love another man”. The president was never quite so gushing about his friend in return, but only a few days ago, during a farewell in the Oval Office, during which Mr Musk was gifted an outsize golden key, he described Mr Musk as “one of the greatest business leaders and innovators the world has ever produced. He stepped forward to put his very great talents into the service of our nation, and we appreciate it.”
