As Trump-Musk bromance implodes, the real estate mogul turns his attention to building a beautiful Ballroom in the White House!
The POTUS was more sad than angry, a little “bummed” as an aide suggested, that his ex-first buddy Elon Musk, whom he had given the golden key to the White House, “had lost his mind” and gone “CRAZY” to turn against him.
But he was “not particularly” interested in talking to that ungrateful man whom he “had helped a lot,” giving a free run of his administration, he told ABC News Friday morning ahead of a scheduled call with Musk at the latter’s bidding.
Hours earlier, the two had traded sizzling barbs over Musk’s X and Trump’s Truth Social days after the tech billionaire called the President’s big beautiful domestic policy bill that would add a whopping $3 trillion to the nation’s deficit, a “disgusting abomination.”
During an Oval Office meeting with Germany’s chancellor, Trump took a swipe at Musk, who until last week was his top cost-cutter DOGE warrior. “I’m very disappointed in Elon,” Trump said.

Musk was quick to hit back accusing Trump of “ingratitude” saying, “Without me, Trump would have lost the election.” He even backed calls for Trump’s impeachment claiming without any evidence he was “in” the Epstein files regarding the investigation into the accused sex trafficker.
“That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” Musk posted. Trump, in turn, retorted he had asked Musk to leave as he was “wearing thin,” and “just went CRAZY!” after “I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted.”
Trump also suggested that canceling Musk’s government contracts would save billions of dollars as Musk floated the idea of leaving the Republican Party to start a new entity. By Thursday afternoon, by a RealClear Politics account, White House staff were sarcastically referring to the whirlwind fracas as “the one big, beautiful breakup.”
Good Musk’s little son X gave him a black eye! Now Trump was considering either giving away or selling the red Tesla with a $80,000 price tag that he purchased to support Musk as his company took a hit as he stepped on many toes as his cost cutting Czar.
As the two fought like kids, Musk’s father, Errol Musk, stepped in to urge the world’s richest man to end the feud with the world’s most powerful person.
“I haven’t spoken to him, but I did send him a message, you know, telling him to make sure this fizzles out,” he told Al Arabiya English from the Delhi Airport lounge, as cited by ABC News.

“Trump, of course, will prevail, because he has been voted in by the majority of the people in America,” the elder Musk said as he blamed “a great deal of stress” for his son’s outbursts on Thursday.
A big beautiful make-up may seem far fetched after their big bad brawl. But both men have traded barbs before with Trump calling Musk a “bullshit artist” in 2022 and Musk asking Trump to “hang up his hat & sail into the sunset” instead of running for reelection.
Amid his own feud with Musk, Trump compared the war between Russia and Ukraine to “two young children fighting like crazy” in a park and suggested it might be better to “let them fight for a while.”
But moments later, he threatened to impose new financial penalties on Russia when he feels like “this thing won’t stop” by a deadline which is “in my brain.”
Trump was also angry at being forced to bring back to the U.S. a wrongly deported man from El Salvador for the first time on a judge’s order after months of fighting any effort to return him.
Talking to the traveling press on Air Force One, an angry Trump insisted that man never should have been brought back despite the Supreme Court’s order to ‘facilitate’ his return, but said Attorney General Pam Bondi “did a great job today.”
Meanwhile, a federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s latest effort to prevent Harvard from enrolling international students, stalling his first bid to directly use the power of the presidency against the university.
Another judge in Massachusetts also extended for about two weeks her previous order from May that prevented the Trump administration from blocking Harvard from issuing certain types of student visas.
Earlier, turning to his pet peeve, Trump ordered an investigation into former President Joe Biden and his staff in an attempt to stoke outlandish conspiracy theories about his predecessor. His executive order came after Trump shared a social media post over the weekend that claimed Biden had been “executed in 2020” and replaced by a robotic clone.
A central claim of the conspiracy theory, as described by Trump himself, is that Biden’s use of the autopen system — which reproduces a person’s signature to be affixed to official documents — can legally invalidate those documents.
Trump then turned his attention to building a beautiful Ballroom “compliments of a man known as Donald J. Trump, at the White House” to savour a Big legal victory!
“These are the “fun” projects I do while thinking about the World Economy, the United States, China, Russia, and lots of other Countries, places, and events,” he posted.
A federal appeals court had allowed the White House to exclude the Associated Press from access to the Oval Office, Mar-a-Lago and Air Force One if it chooses, over its refusal to call ‘Gulf of Mexico,’ Gulf of America as ordained by Trump.
“Big WIN over AP today,” he posted on Truth Social. “They refused to state the facts or the Truth on the GULF OF AMERICA. FAKE NEWS!!!”
“SAY IT! Gulf of AMERICA!” echoed fan ‘Trump Won@krazy Kelly’ with a picture of a “New species of fish discovered In the Gulf of America” complete with Trump’s orange hairdo!
