Musk vs. Trump or the Ultimate Power Play?
Tesla tanks $150B, TrumpCoin craters, insults fly—but is the Musk-Trump feud real, or a staged slimy move?
It was just another Thursday afternoon. In less time than it took Lisa Rinna to lunge across a dinner table and shatter a wine glass in Kim Richards’ face, Tesla stock tanked 14%—wiped out by the toxic fumes of what may be the biggest, ugliest bromance breakup in recent political memory.
It’s a plot twist no one saw coming... except everyone sort of did.
Yes, Elon Musk and Donald Trump—once the most tender, obsessive, and unhinged alliance between two grown men—have imploded. And it’s giving full soap opera, alpha-male edition: somewhere between Kill Bill and The Godfather.
Elon Musk broke ranks with Donald Trump on Tuesday, blasting the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” as a “disgusting abomination” just days after cozying up to the former president.
“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” Musk posted on X. “This pork-filled spending bill is outrageous. Shame on those who voted for it—you know you did wrong.”
What followed was an increasingly bitter, back-and-forth exchange that spiraled into open warfare and sent Tesla’s market cap into freefall.
The world is spinning. MAGA warriors and lib trolls alike are reposting, decoding, and screen-recording. Hedge fund bros? Smashed at least three Bloomberg terminals.
Money is melting in the heat—Tesla shed $150 billion in market value, while TrumpCoin dropped over $100 million, all just hours after Elon Musk ignited the feud by accusing Donald Trump of being on Epstein’s list.
Meme accounts? Hitting all-time highs.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s estranged ex-baby mama, influencer Ashley St. Clair, quickly chimed in on X—offering breakup tips to the president. The 26-year-old recently revealed she had to sell her Tesla after Musk allegedly slashed her allowance by 60%. Musk, for his part, claimed he’s already spent over $2.5 million on her, and $500,000 annually for child support, that’s still not legally confirmed as his.
Conspiracy theorists are spinning.
Even Alex Jones looks… confused.“God Help Us ALL….,” Jones wrote on X after Musk’s accusation.
Steve Bannon? Calling for Musk’s deportation.
AOC? Loving the “girl fight.”
Greta Thunberg? Still MIA—presumably somewhere in the Mediterranean on a Wi-Fi-less, wind-powered yacht en route to Gaza.
But beyond the memes and algorithmic meltdowns and classless optics something darker lurks.
Because while this appears like an emotional ego tantrum between two man-children, it might also be a coordinated market psy-op.
Let’s recap:
Musk visits the White House last week
Giggles with Trump in the Oval Office
Leaves
Within a single news cycle: full public “divorce”
$100 billion in Tesla market cap evaporates within 1 minute. 1 minute!!!!
So what are we really watching here?
A slap-fight between fragile egos? A tantrum over EV subsidies? Or was it the looming release of sealed documents that prompted Elon to suddenly drop the Epstein bombshell? Let’s be honest—he would’ve known about that long before cozying up to the current president. And we’ve all seen the photos of Trump with Epstein. So is this really a feud, or a high-stakes maneuver where both men test their leverage, punish loyalty, and blur the line between politics and market manipulation?
At Anarchy Daily HQ, we’re asking: What aren’t we seeing?
Is this just a game of Succession-style 4D chess—Musk distancing from MAGA to secure future funding and corporate leverage, while Trump tests loyalty and market impact?
Because, it all feels a little too obvious. Too fast. Too staged. Too perfectly timed to tank a stock, spark a culture war, and force everyone to pick a side. And buy more Tesla, obviously.
We’re not buying the drama, though. Not yet. Because, if history’s taught us anything, it’s this:
When two billionaires fight in public, something bigger is happening off-camera.
Stay tuned—we’re in Season 3, Episode 1 of The Real Billionaires of Mar-a-Lago.
