In a wild twist of fate, Elon Musk and Donald Trump officially ended their bromance, and not quietly. What began with handshakes and campaign winks ended with social media flamethrowers, billion-dollar threats, and Epstein-level allegations.
Trump and Elon are having the world’s ugliest and most entertaining political-tech divorce in recent memory.
As the US President and the world’s richest meme-lord tear into each other on X, it’s like a high-stakes WWE match. Netizens can’t help but wonder – should Bharat step in as a “mediator”? After all, Trump once tried to take credit for the India-Pakistan cessation of hostilities. Why not repay the favor?
Elon Musk and Trump Go From ‘Beautiful’ to ‘Bad Blood’
It all started with Trump’s signature puffery: a “Big, Beautiful Bill” that promised his MAGA crowd that it would fix the economy! But Musk wasn’t buying this “beauty.” Elon Musk quit Team Trump and abandoned his beloved DOGE project due to this “Big, Beautiful Bill”. Thereafter, he publicly and openly critiqued the bill, stating that it would permanently damage the US economy. On CBS, he shrugged it off with surgical sarcasm:
“A bill can be big or it can be beautiful. But not both.”
“If the country goes insolvent, if all the money is just spent on paying interest on debt, there's no money left for anything. A country is no different from a person. Country overspends, country goes bankrupt, same as a person who overspends goes bankrupt. So it's not optional… pic.twitter.com/NSOVqv4HSS

Moreover, Elon Musk accused Trump’s bill of being a “disgusting abomination” on X, triggering the first public tremor. Trump’s team responded with a polite “meh” at first. But when Musk started rallying voters against it, the gloves came off. And in typical Trumpian flair, he turned the budget debate into a loyalty test.
“Elon was wearing thin…….I asked him to leave. And he just went CRAZY!”
Classic Trump equals Classic Chaos. The bruised ego of Billionaire President Trump spoke on Truth Social stating that the EV Mandate is making Elon Musk act this way. However, Elon and Twitter are not entertaining this delusion!

X, Truth, and the Social Media Civil War
The former bros turned digital frenemies as two billionaire powerful men and their egos burn-up the digital world with insults and accusations. While Trump fumes on Truth Social and Musk is replying to each Trump’s Truths from X. The social media throwdown feels like a tweet-by-tweet custody battle over the USA and its legacy.
While Trump tries to belittle Elon Musk’s contribution to the MAGA Campaign, Musk claimed he made Trump’s 2024 victory possible.
“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate.”
Trump replied with a MAGA-sized middle finger:
“I would have won Pennsylvania regardless of Elon…I’m very disappointed with Elon”

And then came the Dragon drama. While Trump threatened to cancel Musk’s government contracts, Elon Musk announced he’d decommission his own Dragon spacecraft immediately in protest. Hours later, with the persuasion of his advisors or an anonymous post, Musk retracted.
“Good advice. OK, we won’t decommission Dragon.”
Translation? He rage-quit and then rage-undid.
Meanwhile, Tesla stock nosedived by 14%, burning $152 billion in market cap faster than Trump can say “fake news.”

Elon’s Epstein Bombshell – An Electric Revenge?
Elon Musk Versus Donald Trump War takes a shocking turn. Musk reveals that Donald Trump’s name is in the Epstein files. Epstein Files is a list of those who sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls with help of sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. This gets insanely ugly. pic.twitter.com/qgRpKbNSYo

Just when you thought it couldn’t get messier, Musk threw a nuke:
“Trump is in the Epstein files. That’s why they’re sealed.”
Proof? Trump was a verbal “supporter” of Epstein until he wasn’t! Videos of Trump[ at Epstein Parties are available in public forums. Consequences of Elon’s declaration of war? Maximum chaos on two social media platforms!
Trump, predictably, didn’t dignify the Epstein bomb directly. Yet!
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 5, 2025
The hurtful posts begin with the “Big, Beautiful Bill” that shall ensure the USA stays in a debt cycle for decades. Thus, Musk is using everything at his disposal to Kill The Bill! Hence, not stopping at the Epstein Nuke – Musk endorsed calls for Trump’s impeachment and suggested VP JD Vance should replace him. That’s not just a break-up. That’s trying to marry your ex’s best man.
From Space Wars to Trade Wars: It’s Personal Now
With federal contracts, EV mandates, and tariffs all on the line, their feud has real-world consequences. Trump threatened to axe all of Elon’s subsidies. Musk warned Trump’s tariffs would spark a recession.
This isn’t just two billionaires bickering – It’s a high-stakes ideological divorce between a populist ex-president and a techno-libertarian who thinks he’s Iron Man.
Trump’s MAGA economics is now facing open rebellion from the man who was once whispered to be a future cabinet pick. The “Black Eye” Drama resulted in polls by Musk asking if the USA needs a new political party – apart from the Republicans and Democrats – to save future generations from paying the debt generated by unnecessary congressional spending!
Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?

Indian Netizens Score Big – Should Modi Mediate For Elon Musk?

With nukes of ego flying on both sides and diplomatic skills in short supply, Indians are not wasting a minute mocking Unkil Trump! Many wonder, via memes, if Trump and Elon Musk need Bharat to step in to mediate a truce. Netizens mock Trump by stating Modi should offer trade to stop the escalating tensions. Thus, avenging Bharat’s honor by left-handedly rebuking Trump’s various claims of “mediation” between India and Pakistan.

This is an epic-level international tantrum – with X posts and Trump’s Truth functioning as bombs!
In any case, this isn’t just beef – it’s a buffet for Democrats and everyone else. MAGA stands divided between loyalty to logic and loyalty to Trump! From budget battles to rockets and revenge, the Trump-Elon breakup has something for everyone: tech, politics, scandal, memes.
And the next episode? Probably coming later today – pop your popcorn netizens – forever partnerships just launched rockets at each other.
