I am surprised the bromance between two egomaniacs lasted as long as it did.

OMG is right. The embarrassment of the century . How long is the loony toons going to be allowed to serve in his mentally deteoriated condition.

BREAKING: Donald Trump goes nuclear on former ally Elon Musk and threatens to strip away all of his lucrative government contracts amidst the billionaire's efforts to kill his "big, beautiful bill."

Full-blown MAGA civil war has finally arrived...

"Elon was 'wearing thin,' I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!" he added in a followup post.

Musk is indeed the beneficiary of massive subsidies and government contracts. If Trump goes for the jugular and chokes off those money flows, it would spell disaster for Musk's companies.

This barrage from Trump comes after a slew of attacks from Musk aimed at the spending bill which Musk has labeled a "disgusting abomination" that is "massive, outrageous, pork-filled." He's been urging his followers to help "kill the bill"

"Not even those in Congress who had to vote on the Big Ugly Spending Bill had time to read it!" Musk wrote in an X post today.

"The Big Ugly Bill will INCREASE the deficit to $2.5 trillion!" he wrote in another.

He also suggested that the so-called president has been "replaced by a body double" and shared past tweets from Trump in which he stated that the budget must be balanced.

The bill should indeed be killed outright. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that nearly 11 million Americans will lose access to health insurance over the coming decade if it passes.

At the same time, it balloons the already bloated Pentagon budget to over $1 trillion, cuts taxes by $3.7 trillion in a massive handout to the rich, and adds $2.4 trillion to the deficit.

On one hand we agree with Trump for once: kill Elon's contracts.

On the other hand we agree with Elon for once: kill the bill.

Let's hope that Trump and Musk both lose in the end.

BREAKING: Congresswoman Madeleine Dean brutally humiliates Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick during a hearing after he absurdly implies that companies should "build" bananas in America to avoid tariffs: "We cannot build bananas in America!"

These are jaw-droppingly stupid remarks from Lutnick...

"What's the tariff on bananas? Americans by the way love Bananas. We buy billions of them a year. I love bananas. What's the tariff on bananas?" Dean asked during a hearing on the destructive MAGA tariffs.

"The tariff on bananas would be representative of the countries that produce them," replied Lutnick.

"And what's that tariff?" pressed Dean.

"Generally 10%," said Lutnick.

"Correct, 10%," said Dean. "Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8%."

"As countries do deals with us that will go to to zero. As countries do deals with us that will go to zero—" said Lutnick.

"But the cost is on the American consumer now and on the businesses with the confusion now," interjected Dean. "Mr. Secretary, I believe you know better. I believe you recognize that a trade deficit is not something to fear. I believe you know that predictability, stability is essential for businesses. I wish you would show that truth to this administration and I yield back."

Lutnick then asked if he could make "one quick comment" to Congresswoman Dean and the chairman allowed him. For his own sake, he should have kept his mouth shut...

"There's no uncertainty if you build in America and you produce your product in America there will be no tariff," said Lutnick.

"We can't produce bananas in America!" said Dean.

"The concept of building in America and paying no tariff is very, very clear," Lutnick added.

"We cannot build bananas in America!" said Dean, delivering the soundbite of the year in one fell swoop.

The Congresswoman is, of course, correct. It makes absolutely no sense to put tariffs on goods that cannot be produced in the United States. All that does is spike the prices for hard-working American families.

This is truly the most incompetent, ignorant administration in American history.

BREAKING: Former Trump White House aide Alyssa Farah Griffin breaks down exactly how oligarch Elon Musk's efforts to kill Donald Trump's "big, beautiful" bill spell disaster for MAGA world.

"Elon Musk basically could tank Donald Trump’s entire legislative agenda," she said. And it gets even better...

"If Republicans decide, ‘Oh, we don’t want to get on the wrong side of Elon,' that is what Donald Trump is banking it all on, and that’s kind of devastating for his administration,” Farah Griffin said on The View.

"On the flip side, those Republicans, if you’re in a House district, you’re like, ‘I’m afraid of Donald Trump,’ but Elon Musk, because of the dark money system we live in, he can come in and primary you by just pouring millions and millions into your race," she continued.

"The entire balance of power in the House of Representatives could stand on if Elon Musk actually follows through and primaries people who vote for the bill," she added.

Musk was the Republican Party's secret weapon during the 2024 election. He burned through more than $250 million to help elect Republicans and put Trump in the White House. If he decides to turn that financial firepower against them in the mid-terms, it will crush them.

He went scorched earth on the bill this week, labeling it a "disgusting abomination" because of what it does to the deficit.

"I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore," he wrote on X. "This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it."

"It will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden American citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt," he added. He also called on his followers to help "kill the bill."

This legislation is indeed an abomination. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that nearly 11 million Americans lose access to health insurance over the coming decade if it passes.

At the same time, it balloons the bloated Pentagon budget to over $1 trillion while cutting taxes by $3.7 trillion in a massive handout to the rich. It's estimated that it will add $2.4 trillion to the deficit, an issue that Republicans pretend to care about right up until it's time to shovel more wealth to the already wealthy.

For once, we agree with Elon Musk. Kill the bill.
