Before the 'Big Beautiful Breakup': Musk and Trump's Bromance

Elon Musk and Donald Trump ended their political alliance publicly in early June 2025 amid escalating conflicts and personal insults.
Their breakup followed Musk's opposition to the Republican 'Big Beautiful Bill,' which he said would increase the federal deficit and reverse DOGE's spending cuts.
Musk exited his unpaid White House advisory role in May 2025, citing the end of his scheduled tenure after co-leading the Department of Government Efficiency .
On June 4, 2025, Musk called the bill a budget-busting "disgusting abomination" and tweeted, "I’m sorry, I just can’t stand it anymore."
The split threatens relations between Musk's companies and the Trump administration and complicates GOP reliance on Musk's nearly $300 million in 2024 political donations.
