The Tumultuous Relationship of Donald Trump and Elon Musk (4 of 4)

What Comes Next

There have been no upcoming calls with Musk, while Musk signaled that he might want to speak to Trump. Regarding the Epstein files, there has also been no new evidence that implicates Trump. Therefore, it remains uncertain whether the files truly contain Trump. Regarding Tesla, investors will watch reactions to Musk’s political musings—billions of dollars are in flux, and tweets from Musk could cost more than just his relationship with Trump. The once allies, who were bonded by mutual opportunism and shared ideologies, are now adversaries in a very public fight, and so far, neither seems to be ready to back down and take off the gloves.
