Social Media Gleefully Celebrates End Of Elon Musk-Donald Trump Bromance
The bizarre bromance between Elon Musk and Donald Trump is apparently over ― and the ramifications are being hilariously felt on social media.
Musk helped Trump get elected and headed the president’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency project until recently.
But their working relationship took a hit this week after Musk repeatedly criticised the thin-skinned president’s so-called Big Beautiful Bill.
Trump even suggested the rupture could be permanent on Thursday.
“Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will anymore,” he said. “He hasn’t said bad things about me personally, but I’m sure that’ll be next. But I’m very disappointed in Elon. I’ve helped Elon a lot.”
Meanwhile, Musk responded to an X user that “without me, Trump would have lost the election,” and attacked Trump for his “ingratitude.”
The tiff between two emotionally immature billionaires inspired unprecedented social media snark ― including from the president himself.
Trump took to his Truth Social platform to declare that “the easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts.”
He added, “I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!”
And, yes, people had thoughts. Lots and lots of thoughts.

“I'm very disappointed in Elon. I've helped Elon a lot...People leave my administration and…some of them become hostile...It's sort of Trump Derangement Syndrome."
The bromance relationship is officially over.

Elon Musk has a lot of shit on Donald Trump as far as the shady crap they engaged in to get him elected in 2024.

Trump claps back: “I would’ve won anyway.”
Two billionaires fighting over credit for the White House.
One wants control of politics.
The other wants control of everything.

The funniest possible outcome is definitely Trump deporting him.

But some were sceptical Musk and Trump were really at odds.
Legal analyst Elie Mystal pointed out that the whole feud could just be a bit stolen from TV wrestling.
I can tell some of you people have never watched the WWF/WWE.

Elon is doing a classic “heel turn.” This builds tensions and keeps ratings high.
By Electomania 2028, liberals will try to tag Elon in, but he’ll refuse. Then, when Trump is about to be pinned, he’ll bit Dems with a…
Meanwhile, influencer Ashley St. Clair, who says Musk is the father of her child, offered to give “breakup advice” to the president.
