Elon Musk Buries Trump Bromance Six Feet Under With Shady Dig At Donald's Biggest Weakness
"Not one to sit on his hands for too long, Elon Musk appears to be poking at the broken relationship between him and Donald Trump. After Musk spent millions on Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, the friendship between the two slowly began to wither, snowballing into a heated online post-breakup exchange. While the rise and fall of Trump and Musk's friendship is a wild ride to behold, it seems Musk isn't ready to bury the hatchet. After a sort of apology, it appears Musk can't make his mind up about his feelings for Trump, and a post Musk made to X on June 16 backs up this sentiment.
With a caption that reads, "Anyone else think of this yesterday?" The post includes a screenshot of the popular video game "Bioshock" with a banner that reads, "No gods or kings. Only man." Considering this post came two days after Trump's bummer of a military parade that was outshone by the "No Kings" protests taking place globally, it has the trappings of the online pettiness Musk is known for. While Musk might think he's clever by continuing to needle the president where it hurts — his waning crowd sizes — it also accidentally exposes Musk's own insecurity around not being seen as a gamer, ultimately proving these two men were made for each other."
