The friendship that has ever seen Musk serve in the White House is officially and explosively. In a long and personal drawing posted to a hole social on Sunday, President Donald Trump discharged his former ally, expressing his deep disappointment and throwing Musk as an ungrateful and confused figure who went “completely” by the rails. ”
The catalyst for the public conviction was Musk’s launch of “The American Party”, a third movement aimed at disapproving the two -party system. For Trump, this was not a political calculation, but a personal minor of a man he felt he supported, even when he found his actions dismayed.
“I’m saddened to look at Elon Musk completely” by the rails, “basically become a train for the past five weeks,” Trump wroteframe the situation as a tragic fall instead of a simple political disagreement. The post reads as a lamentation for broken friendship, detailing a relationship that Trump suggests, has always been marked by his own confusion about Musk’s motives.
The backdrop of this political divorce was the passage of the “one big beautiful bill”, Trump’s domestic national policy legislation. After Musk, who briefly led a government performance working group for the management, turned the bill, the relationship quickly trembled. But Trump’s poster explains that he sees Musk’s opposition and a subsequent founding of a new party as rooted in something more personal and financial: the elimination of the electric vehicle’s (ev) mandate bill.
“Unfortunately for Elon, it removes the ridiculous electric vehicle (EV) mandate that would force everyone to buy an electric car in a short period,” Trump wrote. He then detailed a private conversation, which emphasizes his sense of betrayal, claiming that he was shocked that Musk had offered his support while knowing Trump’s firm opposition to the mandate.
“I campaigned for this for two years and, quite honestly, when Elon gave me his overall and unquestionable support, I asked him if he knew I would immediately end the eV warrant,” Trump told. “He said he had no problems with that – I was very surprised!”
Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill”, which he signed in law on July 4, removes a tax break of $ 7,500 for the purchase of a new EV, and $ 4,000 for used one on September 30.
The anecdote paints Musk not as a political opponent, but as an inconsistent and possibly unpleasant partner. Trump continued this theme by sharing another story, which emphasizes his dismay with Musk’s judgment, this time involving a request to appoint a “close friend” to lead NASA.
“Elon asked for one of his close friends to run NASA and, while I believed his friend was very good, I surprised me to learn that he was a blue bloody Democrat who had never contributed to a Republican before,” Trump wrote, expressing his astonishment. “I also thought it was inappropriate that Elon’s very close friend, who was in space business, manages NASA, when NASA is so much of Elon’s corporate life.”
Sharing these back scenes, Trump throws himself as the loyal and consistent leader, blinded by the irregular behavior of a man he brought into his inner circle. The message is clear: the alliance ended not because of a political rift, but because, in Trump’s eyes, Musk proved himself an unreliable and ungrateful actor. The once famous “Bromance” between two of the world’s most powerful men ended in a sensational public wreckage, with the president himself sadly investigating the damage.
