The relationship between the world’s most powerful politician and the richest man has deteriorated. Tensions between the two have reached a fever pitch.
The world has seen the rift between US President Donald Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk.
The two are the world’s most vocal figures. In reality, they have been feuding. Although they have made such noises before, their differences have now become public, with a war of words.
Trump has threatened to cut off federal funding and contracts for businesses owned by Musk, while Musk has called for Trump to be formally impeached in Congress.
If we trace the root of the problem, it is because of the Big Beautiful Bill, a tax and government spending bill that Trump introduced to Congress.
