It looks like Ryan Murphy could have his next season of Feud mapped out, with a spectacular fallout between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump sounding like it's a work of fiction. Tensions were already rumbling through the foundations of the White House, but instead of the cracks simply starting to show, a massive fissure has opened up.
While Elon Musk was said to be instrumental in helping get Donald Trump back into the White House, that might have something to do with the $288 million he donated to the campaign.
It was all going so well as Musk stepped up to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, but as the world's richest man faced backlash and his business ventures suffered, he vowed to step back from politics.
The straw that broke the camel's back was the POTUS' One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which Musk branded a 'disgusting abomination'. In a matter of days, Trump and his so-called 'First Buddy' have gone from BFFs to sworn enemies.

As well as Musk claiming he'll pull his SpaceX Dragon rocket and saying that Trump should be impeached, the most scandalous post claimed that the President is named in unreleased parts of the Epstein Files. It's unclear what happens next, but already, Musk's Tesla is feeling the ramifications with a massive $150 billion wiped off its value.
It didn't take long for the White House to speak out on Musk's explosive rant about the President's tax bill, and with his latest outburst making that one look like a pleasant exchange, the press department has been forced to make a statement once again.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt spoke to CNN about the 'unfortunate episode' and said: "This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted. The President is focused on passing this historic piece of legislation and making our country great again."

Expanding on the White House's position, she also spoke to Fox News' Hannity and continued: "Just days ago, Elon thanked the president for his incredible leadership to cut waste and fraud in our government, which this one big beautiful bill does.
"The only difference between Friday and today is Elon went back to his companies and as a businessman, he has a right to speak for his companies, but as president, President Trump has a responsibility to fight for this country."
Showing a united front as Musk continues to throw Molotov cocktails, Leavitt branded the One Big Beautiful Bill Act as "the most historic piece of legislation that has moved through Capitol Hill in modern-day history."

Even though the bill still has some way to go, Leavitt reiterated: "Not only does this bill provide the largest tax cut for middle class and working class families and extends the Trump tax cuts in 2017, it also delivers on President Trump's key campaign promises that he went around the country and spoke to voters across the country about."
As for the White House's stance on Musk, it comes after the President suggested the tech billionaire has 'Trump Derangement Syndrome’.
