The alliance between President Trump and Elon Musk, once strong during the 2024 campaign, has deteriorated as public insults and disagreements over policy arise. Musk's significant financial contributions and advisory role under Trump came to a head as tensions grew surrounding the Republican mega-bill, which Musk criticized for conflicting with the Department of Government Efficiency's work. Their split has been anticipated, with tech journalist Kara Swisher noting how their dynamic has been strained over the past year. The fallout draws attention to the implications of public feuds between two powerful figures.
It's really quite strange, but it's sort of in keeping with their relationship over the last year or so as Musk became very close to Donald Trump.
Musk's decision to leave his government role coincided with the end of his 'scheduled time' as a government employee.
