Carla: Honeymoon is over, and love between Trump and Musk became a scary thing

The speech was the trigger: the billionaire accused the president of appearing on the list of people who attended the parties of Jeffrey Epstein, an entrepreneur already killed and was associated with a network of prostitution and exploitation of minors. In response, Trump threatened to break the contracts that the government maintains with companies from the tycoon.

When he (musk) tells Trump that the president was only elected thanks to him, it is not just a rhetorical issue. Musk put a lot of money in the Trump campaign. It was a heavy investment of the richest man in the world. And (their relationship) began with such a love with promise exchanges. And this honeymoon was shortly time between them.

It is obvious that this very litigious break has consequences, with various exhibitions. Musk complained about Trump’s fares and makes accusations with Trump sexual issues. And Trump wants to punish his new ‘opponent’.

This story looks like a soap opera with crazy plot. But they are playing with jobs, with the country, which is really a frightening thing. This will, of course, will have a lot of impact. Carla Araújo, columnist and head of the Facto News branch in Brasilia

Musk announced last week his departure from the government of Donald Trump, where he was head of Doge (Department of Government Efficiency) and promoted a series of cuts with staff layoffs. Until then, the exit seemed to have been cordial, with exchanges of compliments and thanks before the cameras.

The implosion of the relationship between the two occurred on Wednesday and moved the market: the shares of Tesla (musk company) fell more than 14% yesterday, amid confusion. In total, the company lost about $ 100 billion dollars (or $ 559.6 billion in the current price) in capitalization on Wall Street.
