“Long-simmering tensions between President Trump and Elon Musk burst into the open on Thursday, as the two men traded barbs and insults, signaling the rupturing of a relationship that had been one of the most consequential in modern American politics,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“For months, Trump and Musk had enjoyed a marriage of convenience, and the White House granted the billionaire a long leash to express his opinions publicly as he worked to cut spending through his Department of Government Efficiency. They publicly praised each other, even as frustrations festered behind the scenes.”

“When Musk aired his initial criticisms of the tax and spending package, Trump held his tongue, hoping to maintain a strong relationship with the billionaire. But Musk’s decision in recent days to ratchet up his attacks on the bill in recent days made their uneasy alliance unsustainable.”

“False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!”

— Elon Musk, responding to President Trump in real time when Trump claimed Musk knew what was in the budget bill.

Associated Press: “As President Donald Trump sat in the Oval Office on Thursday with Germany’s leader at his side, he lamented his soured relationship with Elon Musk, his adviser-turned-social media antagonist. Trump said he was “very disappointed” with Musk after the billionaire former backer lambasted the president’s signature bill of tax cuts and spending plans.”

“Trump suggested Musk, who left the government last month after spearheading the tumultuous Department of Government Efficiency, misses being in the White House and has ‘Trump derangement syndrome.'”

Said Trump: “Look, Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will anymore.”

Musk was watching and has already responded.

A Florida meteorologist told viewers live on air that he will no longer be able to accurately predict hurricanes as a result the Trump administration’s drastic cuts to weather and climate agencies, The Guardian reports.

“President Trump’s private golf club in Bedminster, N.J. was hit with a remarkable 18 health code violations, nine of them considered ‘critical,’ the New York Daily News reports.

“The health department’s grade of 32 out of 100 points made Trump National Golf Course the most poorly rated establishment in Somerset County last month. Out of the roughly 115 retail food establishments inspected, all but two scored 60 or higher, with most in the 80s and 90s.”
