Elon Musk has blunt five-word response when

Elon Musk has hinted at a strained professional relationship with President Trump during a Bloomberg interview, where he announced plans to reduce his political spending. Once a key financial backer of Trump’s campaigns and co-lead of the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk has faced criticism for aggressive cost-cutting proposals that sparked fears of a government “hostile takeover.” Though he previously dismissed reports of a fallout as “fake news,” Musk’s recent comments suggest growing distance between the two, stating, “I think I’ve done enough,” when asked about his future political donations.

Musk, who has invested hundreds of millions into Trump’s campaigns and conservative causes, now says he sees no current reason for further contributions. This shift has fueled online speculation about a serious rift between the billionaire and the President. Some interpret his remarks as confirmation of a political breakup, while others see it as a sign of strategic reevaluation. Musk’s declining popularity, compounded by criticism and decreased Tesla sales, may also be influencing his withdrawal.
