Once they were close allies, today they are rivals: Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The dispute between the two is currently being fought out publicly on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) and Truth Social. What was once an alliance is now a digital exchange of blows with no clear outcome.
At the same time, references to Trump's possible links to the Epstein files are once again circulating on social media. Meanwhile, Musk is publicly expressing massive criticism of the political leadership in the USA and the future of electromobility. Reports that no further EV (electric vehicle) investments are planned in the USA are causing additional unrest.
This public dispute between two influential personalities is not only damaging their reputations, but also the international image of the United States. What is needed now is not a personal feud on social media, but responsible leadership and economic stability.
The United States needs a strong government with a clear vision for the future - independent of ego battles and personal power games. This is the only way to regain the trust of the population and the international community.
PS: The $TSLA (+6,14%) is suffering!
