Breaking up is complete and final. U.S. president Donald Trump and technology mogul Elon Musk publically flaunt themselves in mud. A individual from the immediate vicinity of Trump claims that the end of the erstwhile male relationship went in a “unsettling” way.
As Wiles says in the "The fresh York Post" podcast, the divided between Trump and Musk was predictable.
“It was a wonderful partnership, but the more bitter its end was”
“The president was very, very friendly to him, and Elon had so much to offer us,” Wiles recalls. The chief of respective technology companies knew things no 1 else knew. "He knew people and technologies we had small cognition of," adds the White home chief of staff.
Musk yet lived as a guest at the Mar-a-Lago Trump residence in Florida. As “Uncle Elon”, he became almost a associate of the family. erstwhile he was the president's advisor, he did not step aside Trump.
But then there was a violent breakup. Wiles thinks: "It was a wonderful partnership, but the bitterness was the end of it."
It is not rather clear why Musk yet turned on Donald Trump. His criticism of Trump's "great, beautiful bill" budget was ruthless. Billionaire called the task "an awful thing"and then convinced Republicans to vote against the bill.
Musk's reaction to abolishing state subsidies on electrical cars, thanks to which Tesla receives billions of dollars, was full of anger. It is due to the "big, beautiful bill" that the billionaire company must say goodbye to government subsidies.
Despite this, Trump organized a worthy farewell ceremony in the Oval Office erstwhile the Musk era came to an end as head of the Government's Department of Efficiency (DOGE).

White home chief of staff says that the president believed that Musk would “always aid him”. But abruptly everything changed.
“All bridges between these 2 men have been burned”
Despite his pleasant farewell, Musk began to hunt Trump down. He even said Trump is active in a scandal involving sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He announced that his fresh political group (the organization of America) would uncover facts about the case, which is now allegedly being covered up by the President.
It became clear that all the bridges between the 2 men had been burned. The gap between them is beyond overcome.
“I don’t realize it,” Wiles wondered in a podcast about Musk’s actual motives. However, he does not believe that the reason for the breakup was “jealousy”. "That doesn't sound like Elon," she said.
Despite the bitter split, Wiles praises a technology billionaire as a “fascinating person” who simply sees the planet differently. That's what Donald Trump valued in him.
Now Musk, as he says, assumes the “Party of America” to challenge Republicans under the leadership of the president of the United States. However, this will not be easy due to how hard the American political strategy is to change.
— It is not adequate to print on X that you have a political party. This requires much more work — notes in an interview with POLITICO magazine Russell Verney, chief advisor to Ross Perot, a Texas businessman who won about 19% of the vote in the 1992 presidential election. This is the best independent candidate in American politics in modern history.
