The Trump-Musk Relationship Ruptures in Real Time

Long-simmering tensions between President Trump and Elon Musk burst into the open on Thursday, as the two men traded barbs and insults, signaling the rupturing of a relationship that had been one of the most consequential in modern American politics.

They publicly praised each other, even as frustrations festered behind the scenes.
When Musk aired his initial criticisms of the tax and spending package, Trump held his tongue, hoping to maintain a strong relationship with the billionaire. But Musk’s decision in recent days to ratchet up his attacks on the bill in recent days made their uneasy alliance unsustainable.
