Elon Musk billionaire bromance gone bad.
With a sly smile and enough shade to blot out the sun, she told Spectrum 1 News, “Oh, man, the girls are fighting, aren’t they? You know, I would say that this was something that was a long time coming… these two huge egos were not long for being together in this world as friends.”
Translation? We all saw this meltdown coming, and AOC is here for the fireworks—with popcorn.
Once upon a time, in a land of egos
Once, Trump and Musk played nice in public. Musk served on Trump’s business advisory councils back in the early presidency days, only to flounce out in 2017 when Trump bailed on the Paris Climate Accord.
Fast forward to Trump 2.0, and Musk wasn’t just back in the fold—he was heading the unofficial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), endorsing Trump in 2024, and tweeting like they were BFFs, taking down the deep state.
But somewhere between campaign trail cuddles and billionaire bonding, things got messy. Musk abruptly resigned from DOGE, fired off a flurry of X posts, and claimed that Trump is named in the Epstein files.
The breakup heard `round the Beltway
Contributing to the spat, Musk’s disdain for Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” that pumps cash into defense, infrastructure, and tax cuts, but does so by sending the national debt to Mars, which is usually Musk’s job.
After Musk’s tantrum, Trump threatened to cancel SpaceX contracts and hinted Musk only opposed the bill because it didn’t include more EV subsidies. Subtle? No. Entertaining? Absolutely.
AOC: watching the chaos, eyes on the prize
While the Trump-Musk mutual destruction continues, AOC remains laser-focused on what matters: how this billionaire cage match might screw up legislation.
In a town full of performative outrage and endless ego trips, AOC’s mix of sass and seriousness reminds us who’s doing their job. And as she said it best: the girls are fighting. But some of us are still governing.
