Sunday Showdown
The spat between President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk went nuclear, with a public war of words on social media. Trump stated any reconciliation is out of the question.
1️⃣ How it went down: Musk's criticism of Trump's massive tax and domestic policy bill kicked off the animosity. Then Musk dug up old comments from Republicans about government spending. Things went sideways from there.
CNN 2️⃣ Ugly exchanges: Trump and Musk traded barbs about policy swings and the 2024 election before matters got personal. Here are the dirtiest insults.
3️⃣ Digital dust-up: Musk wielded his X account like a political sledgehammer while Trump struggled to keep up on Truth Social.
4️⃣ Public reaction: Conservatives lamented the feud and seemed torn between their two main men. Fox News - Trump's biggest media ally - deemed this a mere hiccup in their friendship. A political power couple treads the line.
5️⃣ What's next? Trump threatened to terminate Musk's government contracts and vowed to pay the consequences if he starts funding Democrats. It remains to be seen where things are heading. Trump is known for patching things up with allies, even after harsh words are exchanged.
