Are the enemies of Donald Trump and Eileon Musk?

Shooting the script book. America season 7 It goes out of control. Even if Elon Musk was modified in one way or another with Donald Trump – although the White House rejected reports of a reconciliation phone call – the violation between the richest man in the world and his strongest will definitely continue. You cannot invite Trump’s isolation, hints about his relationship with late children, Jeffrey Epstein, and demand full credit to win the elections and pretend that he had never happened.

Trump is a delicate skin. If you take musk at the nominal value, their diverse relationship is caused by what the big republican budget sees but not beautiful – “disgusting abomination” in formulating the selection of the missile man. But psychology, not financial philosophy, is a better lens on the behavior of these men. As the comedian Stephen Kulbert said late at night: “I started to be concerned that the narcissistic madness with the inability to see the value in other people may have difficulty in making friendships.”

Musk clearly believes that in a position he is allowed to harm Trump. But Trump carries almost all cards. If the unrestricted American president wants to destroy musk companies, he can do so. They all depend to a degree or another on the federal government for organizational clearance and approval, and contracts, and therefore a competitive advantage. A large part of the musk wealth comes from its share in Tesla, which is still trading more than 100 times profits. By preventing approval of its entire independent version, Trump can harm the company. Also watch Jeff Bezos to receive his way to Trump’s good blessing. Blue bezos is the only reasonable competitor for Spacex, the other main source of paper wealth in Musk.

In fact, the real reason for their fall has nothing to do with American financial deficit, whatever musk claims. Trump’s “big and beautiful bill” of Trump should feel like a mosque insult, who promised to find two dollars in financial savings with the so -called government’s alleged efficiency only to see Trump adds more than that to the deficit. “Was everything nonsense?” According to Trump’s request, Doug’s assistants were requested. I assume that his question was a report. The real Musk complaint is that the budget will cancel the tax credits of electric cars, which the pioneer in Tesla will leave more worse than it is already. He is also still overcoming Trump’s deep partnership with Sam Altman, CEO of Openai, on which Musk fell several years ago. “Scam Altman”, as MUSK called it, with Trump at the event last month in Abu Dhabi was a red line. Musk took out the general appearance of Trump Atlan, but not the artificial intelligence data deal that they were in the Gulf to reveal. Stargate UAE, like Stargate Usa, which was announced in January, makes the preferred Openai Trump in this expanding sector quickly. Xai’s Musk has yet been removed from the deal. Earlier this week, the White House suddenly pulled the nomination of Mossk Jared Ishaqan as the next NASA president.

In short, Musk exaggerated his influence. I do not know if the use of the reported ketamine played a role-the famous “hole” that leads to excessive use of anesthesia leads to delusions of madness and psychotic rings. But musk is subject to narcissism without any pharmaceutical assistance. Think about Jack Nicholson’s face in Bright Suddenly, it waves on the horizon on this vast empty hotel in Rocky. Now Musk’s face pictures behave on Capitol Hill as he is in Trump’s signing legislation. He thought he could kill Trump’s priority bill with two social media publications. The largest Blueva in the world has understood reality. Musk accused Trump of tree of his failure to reward him for the help of nearly $ 300 million in his elections. But Musk has won $ 38 billion in federal subsidies and contracts over the years. Washington paid by taking a saw to the government. Now this is Ingratation.

This leads me to my own question – this time for Joa Miller, a senior colleague of the capital’s office, which covers the few in Washington. Joe, how do you think Musk, clearly thinking about business, ended up making such a bad bet?

Joe Miller responds

Ed, I tend to agree that psychology is the best discipline for musk analysis, and to understand how he made a mistake in estimating the value of the cards he carries in the capital.

I really didn’t think this was an alliance based on mutual attention. MUSK certainly does not need more government contracts – Spacex was indispensable to NASA before Trump’s re -election. Even if Musk has somehow assembled the defensive purchasing device for his companies, the upper trend would be almost wrong in its wealth of $ 420 billion. He also did not need Trump to remove the government through his back – the organizers have already proven that they are relatively without teeth against various Musk violations in the Biden era.

Despite all this uproar about the MUSK cash injection in the Trump campaign, the president may have been right when he claimed Thursday that he would win Pennsylvania without the help of billionaire. Let’s not forget that Kamala Harris raised her rival and lost. In addition, Musk showed that his political instincts are much worse than Trump – even before the Wisconsin disaster, support the wrong horses of the Treasury Secretary and the majority of the Senate, among other basic mistakes (AFD has actually won the German elections).

No, the two people who were with the most prominent megavone on the face of the earth needed each other in itself, except as much as their arrogance needed more massage and their grievances are more valid.

A lot of Trump and Silicon Valley alignment can be understood in similar phrases. Yes, Broligarchs wanted tax cuts and cancel the restrictions, but as it was very clear at a conference I attended at Capitol Hill with many PEER Thiel and Musk Protégés, they also yearn to take seriously due to what they recognize as the real power in the United States.

A friend of your hand said the clearest bust on Thursday. MUSK may have seen behind his financial fist with Trump’s tax bill if the legislation was not a daily reminder of its humiliation in Doug, where he failed to find savings that would significantly reduce the deficit. It seems that being the richest man in the world, does not necessarily give you the most thick skin.
