The 10 days that unravel their relationship

The pairing of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, the leader of the world’s largest country with the largest man in the world, looked a perfect match.

But the last 10 days have seen the couple go from gentle disagreement to bitter acrymon. These are the public moments that led their relationship to collapse.

Speaking to CBS News, Musk criticized Trump’s plans for a new tax and cost bill – saying that planned legislation left him “disappointed”.

Later, Trump admits to reporters that he “is not satisfied with certain aspects” of the bill, while being “excited” by some aspects, such as tax reduction.

However, he did not directly comment on Musk’s remarks.

Musk announces that he will leave the Trump administration after his planned time, as a special civil servant reaches an end. He runs a cost cutting mission, known as the Ministry of Government Efficiency (Doge).

Trump praises Musk as the latter appears with a black eye at a press conference on his last day in the White House.

Musk “is not really leaving,” the president says, and will continue to be “back -behind” of the White House.

Trump defends his “big, beautiful bill” in a publication on Social Truth, claiming that “very fake statements are being made about his remarkable economic policy.

Musk again attacked Trump’s planned bill, calling it “massive, outrageous, pork -filled” and “disgusting abomination” in a publication of X.

In American Polish Policy, it refers to the spending of projects in the voting regions of legislators.

It marks the beginning of escalation in Musk comments on social media.

Musk calls for a new cost bill, “which does not increase massively (the US government budget) and increases the debt ceiling.”

Musk urges his followers to call their representatives to oppose Trump’s bill.

Musk quotes a series of old X by Trump in 2012 and 2013, in which Trump criticizes government spending.

Speaking in the oval office with the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump says that he and Musk “had” great relationships, but “I don’t know if we will do it already.”

He also says that Musk is “upset” that subsidies for electric vehicles will be shortened in his planned account, affecting Tesla and SpaceX’s business of the billionaire.

Musk responded in real time to the oval cabinet broadcast, rejecting Trump’s claims.

Back to the White House, Trump says that Musk reporters knew “every aspect of the bill” and says it is “very disappointed with the Elon.”

“Wrong,” Musk replies to X. “This bill was never shown to me even once and was adopted on the night of the night so quickly that almost no one in the congress even read it!”

Musk is repeated in old Trump posts on X, emphasizing the times when the president criticizes America’s budget deficit. “Where is this person today ??” he asks.

In response to another X user, Musk says, “Without me, Trump would lose the election.” He continues to say, “Such ungratefulness.”

Still, Musk claims to X that “the big ugly account will increase the deficit to $ 2.5 trillion.”

Musk continues to cite Trump’s old posts about X on government spending. He asks, “Where is the man who wrote these words? He was replaced by a double body!?”

“Is it time to create a new political party in America, which actually represents 80% in the middle?” Musk asks in a survey of X.

Trump begins to publish on his social platform for his truth, saying that Musk is “dressed in a thin”, so he asked him to leave the White House and claim that Musk “went crazy”.

Musk calls this a “obvious lie.”

“The easiest way to save money on our budget,” Trump continues in another publication is to terminate government subsidies and contracts by Elon. “

Musk claims, without providing evidence that Trump appears in the “Epstein Dossier”, citing court documents and evidence gathered by investigators in the convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein.

By publishing Social, Trump says he doesn’t mind “Elon to turn against me” and continues to defend his bill.

Responding to Trump’s proposal that he may terminate government treaties with Musk companies, Musk says he will “immediately” bring out the distortion of the dragon spacecraft – a craft that is able to travel to the International Space Station.

Musk seems to support Trump’s impulsion while citing a conspiracy theorist that shared his claim in Epstein about the president.

Musk attacks another of Trump’s signature policies – his commercial tariffs – by posting to X to say that “it will lead to a recession in the second half of this year.”

It seems that Musk is softening, responding to X “Don’t Make another billionaire Trump, Bill Akman, who called on the couple to” make peace in favor of our great country. “

Trump describes Musk as “the man who has lost his mind” in an interview with ABC News and says he is “not particularly” interested in talking to him.

The White House tells the BBC Trump does not intend to talk to the technology billionaire today after reporting that they will talk on the phone later.

CBS, the BBC US partner, is also reported that Trump is considering selling his Tesla car – which he has purchased when he tries to help Musk promote his company.
