In some of the most unsurprising news ever, Elon Musk and Donald Trump have officially entered their fallout era and the bitter breakup is being played out for the world to see.
What began as a political bromance soon developed into something deeper when Elon made the influential jump from Trump’s billionaire bankroller to head of the Department of Government Efficiency, otherwise known as DOGE. The love-bombing came thick and fast, with the self-proclaimed “First Buddy” taking to X (formally Twitter) to declare that he loved Trump “as much as a straight man can love another man.”
Musk accepted his newfound influence with glee, opting out of Tesla board meetings for the bright lights of the oval office and swapping SpaceX duties for the greens of the Mar-A-Lago golf course. But as with any relationship forged from the fire of ego and unfettered power, there’s only one way it can end; badly.
Whispers of an impending Elon Musk-Donald Trump fallout began bubbling away under the surface as early as November 2024, when Musk’s near-constant presence started causing friction. “Elon won’t go home. I can’t get rid of him,” Trump told House Republicans in (alleged) jest.
If the clock wasn’t already counting down to the breakup we all saw coming then, it was certainly set in stone when Time ran a cover showing Musk behind the desk of his pal’s Oval Office desk, naming him Person of the Year. But even then, the bros kept up appearances. That was, until Musk decided to speak out against his buddy’s One Big Beautiful Bill.
Now, the gloves are off and the dog whistles have been blown, with both Trump and Musk tweeting up a storm worthy of any scorned-lover’s wrath.
“The easiest way to save money in our budget, billions and billions of dollars, is to terminate Elon’s governmental subsidies and contracts,” Trump posted on his own social media website. While Musk responded by explaining to his followers that Trump hasn’t delivered on his promise to release the infamous Epstein files because he (Trump) was “in the Epstein files.” And they say women are too emotional to hold positions of power.
Now that the Donald Trump Elon Musk bromance to breakup pipeline has reached peak fallout and the internet is reacting in the best way. Below, some of the best memes, tweets and reactions, so far.
