"Friday Face-Off": The Rollercoaster Relationship Between Trump and Musk
Business mogul Elon Musk swiftly reverses stance on Donald Trump following outbreak of LA riots.
In a lively analysis on 'The Ingraham Angle', our contributor Raymond Arroyo dives into the turbulent fallout between tech magnate Elon Musk and former President Donald Trump.
The public spat between Musk and Trump has taken an unexpected twist. After a series of heated exchanges, the tech mogul may be trying to make amends with the Trump administration during recent immigration protests in Los Angeles.
The tempestuous relationship between these two figureheads began to sour over Trump's massive tax and spending package, affectionately referred to as the "big, beautiful, bill." The bill, a contentious topic for Musk, was criticized as a "disgusting abomination" by the CEO.
However, Musk seemed to soften his stance when he shared a post from Trump on Truth Social regarding the riots that erupted in Los Angeles on Friday. This move appeared to show some support for the administration's handling of the situation.
TRUMP'S LA RIOT RESPONSE DRAWS BACKLASH
"Governor Gavin Newsom and 'Mayor' Bass should apologize to the people of Los Angeles for the awful job they've done, and this now includes the ongoing L.A. riots," Trump typed late Sunday. "These are not protesters, they are troublemakers and insurrectionists."
Musk further endorsed Vice President JD Vance's stance on the riots, which echoed Trump's commitment to quell the unrest.
Trump's actions have taken a level of criticism, with California's Governor Gavin Newsom contesting the deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles, arguing it violates California's state sovereignty and inflames tensions.
**MUSK'S DOGE DOLLARS FUTURE AND GOVERNMENT CUTS
