The Spin

Anti-Trump narrative

This feud exposes Trump's vindictive nature when faced with legitimate criticism. Musk rightfully called out a fiscally irresponsible spending bill that contradicts conservative principles of limited government. Trump's threats to weaponize federal contracts against a private citizen simply for policy disagreements show authoritarian tendencies.

Pro-Trump narrative

Musk's ungrateful attacks on Trump reveal his true character, given that he has benefited enormously from their relationship. The billionaire helped craft policies he now condemns and only turned hostile when his EV subsidies were threatened. His reckless allegations about Epstein files show he's willing to spread conspiracy theories when things don't go his way.
