“…
Officials in the West Wing spent most of Thursday glued to their phones as they watched the battle between the two play out on X and Truth Social. Several aides were sending the updates in group chats, likening it to a divorce and commenting that they expected this would happen, just not this soon.

“I thought maybe August,” one noted to CNN.

White House Press secretary Karoline Leavitt called Musk’s claims an “unfortunate episode” in a statement to CNN Thursday night.

“This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted. The President is focused on passing this historic piece of legislation and making our country great again,” Leavitt said.…”

Any "truce" between those two is never going to last for long, just like their recent collaboration quickly fell apart. They're both far too spoiled, juvenile, egotistical, and narcissistic to ever get along for more than a brief period, even if their interests align. They both want to hog the spotlight and be the center of attention, and in Trumpworld only one person gets to wear the crown, not two. Cult leaders don't share power or control. They might appear in public to make up, but it will only be temporary and in private they probably both hate each other's guts now and see the other as a threat, if they didn't already.
 

Musk Burns MAGA Bridges as Republicans Back Trump in Brawl​

Some lawmakers hold out hope for reconciliation after painful divorce​


“… In the fight between the Republican titans, most GOP lawmakers sided with Trump. Rep. Tim Burchett (R., Tenn.) said Musk is “going off the deep end” with his call for Trump’s impeachment and suggested Musk is losing his sway with the MAGA crowd. On whether Musk has power on the Hill anymore, Burchett replied: “You know, he’s got a huge checkbook, obviously, and this town is gutless.”

… Musk’s attacks had raised the possibility that conservatives could extract more cuts from such programs as Medicaid, but that new push appeared to stall as Musk’s fight with Trump stretched deeper into Thursday.

“He hasn’t moved a vote,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R., La.) said of Musk.

White House aides argued Musk’s broadsides would weaken the position of Republican critics of the megabill, who had initially viewed the billionaire’s spotlight on deficits as helpful to their cause….”

Agree that was great, but the BEST part of this thread is knowing our MAGA friends are reading every word but have nothing whatsoever to say that could defend their heroes.

They are just waiting for their Lord and savior Trump to deny it publicly and they will be out in full force defending him.
 
Musk is just the latest in a long line of people to fundamentally misunderstand Trump. They all come in thinking that Trump is manipulable and controllable and that they can bend him to their own devices. They all learn ultimately that Trump will never honor any promise or follow through on any quid pro quo unless it suits him to do so. In that sense Elon is no different than any of the innumerable contractors Trump has stiffed over the years. Trump isn't playing 4D chess or whatever people like to imagine; he's just plowing straight through in pursuit of his own whims and interests. And Musk is just another person whop hoped to manipulate Trump but now is just in the way.
