MAGA Mayhem

The Trump-Musk Breakup is Perfect Cinema

My two least favorite people are tearing each other apart, and I couldn’t be happier

Republican tech oligarch Elon Musk is finally suffering buyer’s remorse for purchasing the 2024 election, as his feud with Donald Trump has escalated to astronomical proportions.

Since departing DOGE and the Trump administration, America’s so-called ‘efficiency czar’ has suffered one of the most extreme right-wing crash-outs to date, resulting in a rapid unplanned disassembly of his ‘Dark MAGA’ political alliance.

Now, he’s exploding hotter than a SpaceX rocket.

We should have seen this coming from miles away. Tensions between the world’s richest man and the world’s most powerful man have been simmering for some time now. Namely, Musk has expressed frustration over Trump’s proposed “Big, Beautiful Bill” for its failure to balance the federal budget — but more importantly, for its failure to give Tesla and SpaceX the massive subsidies that were expected in return for bankrolling Trump’s campaign.

Half of America hates his businesses, and now he doesn’t even get any favorable political deals to make his unpopularity worthwhile.
