Elon Musk is gradually discovering that in his bitter feud with Donald Trump, he is truly alone, as all the so-called allies he earned by funding the president’s campaign and augmenting his MAGA principles evaporated the second he dared to bash their leader. And clearly, power can beat even blood, as the billionaire’s father has chosen to ditch his son as well.
There is no love lost between Errol Musk and his son. Elon has described his father, on many occasions and in many colorful words, as a “terrible human being” and someone who is “evil.” As for Errol, he has always been painfully critical of his son, even telling an Australian radio station in 2022 that he wasn’t proud of Elon and said he “needs to take a weight loss pill.”
Evidently, he has no plans of ever quitting insulting his son with his cutting, public remarks.
So far, Trump and Elon’s bickering match has only managed to make a mockery of America, with even Russia making fun of the fight and offering everything from asylum to the billionaire to brokering a peace deal. And just like Russia, which believes that Trump will beat Musk in this battle and force the Tesla CEO to seek asylum, Musk’s father also believes that his son will lose this fight.
During a political conference in Moscow, Errol claimed his son was “PTSD from the White House” and added that it was stress that made Elon go against Trump, who will rise as the victor in their petty tantrum battle.
“Trump will prevail – he’s the president, he was elected as the president. So, you know, Elon made a mistake, I think. But he is tired, he is stressed.”
Seemingly an avid fan of Trump – and Putin, whom he called a “very stable and pleasant man” being maligned by Western media – Errol went on to double down on painting a picture where Elon was unstable, given the months of stress he handled to keep Trump’s campaign alive and then running DOGE. “They are very tired and stressed, so you can expect something like this,” he added.
But he believes that the feud between Elon and Trump is very “small” and would be “over tomorrow.”
Well, that’s debatable.
Since the drama started – with Musk openly and brashly thrashing Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” – it has only escalated, with the former going so far as to accuse the president of being in the controversial Epstein files. In retaliation, the POTUS has threatened to put a stop to U.S. government contracts with the likes of Tesla and SpaceX.
How will their bromance bounce back from something like this? It might. After all, stranger things have happened in America. Trump became the president of America, didn’t he?
