Big beautiful break-up between Trump and Musk has all the thrills of a Hollywood film

The headlines are topping the Trump-Musk fallout. The best was “I hate my X”, straight out of a divorce playbook and so true of Donald Trump and Elon Musk, the two are like a divorced couple carrying the thrill and bitterness of divorce into the public domain with dirty linen washed on Social Media. If Elon has ‘X’, formerly Twitter, Donald has ‘Truth Social’, making them even-steven.

Another headline that’s found traction is ‘Big Beautiful Break-up’, because it’s another way to tell that the parties have both gone their separate ways after the kiss of death! And it best copies the fate of Trump's ‘Big Beautiful Bill’, which the Congress passed and Musk sulking in the aisles.

Elon has grave predictions for the United States’ with the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’. An angry Musk is throwing barbs at ‘BBB’ and that with a grey MAGA hat. Where did Musk throw the red iconic one? And why the abomination grey and the bloodless ‘black’, what was the billionaire Elon Musk hinting at?

President Trump's ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ is a big bull to Elon’s red rag. The Tesla CEO quit the Trump un-electric wagon-train. Till things changed for the best with insults traded and not a single Trump tariff imposed on Musk. The break-up began on ‘X’, Truth Social not quite the all-purpose vehicle for guerilla warfare.

Reactions on ‘X’ are quick and viral, those triggered on Truth Social take their own time to pick up traction. Elon scored and Trump must be cursing himself for returning to ‘X that was Twitter’. Now, he has to exit ‘X that was Twitter’ all over again and would look stupid if he didn’t.

And the manner in which Trump gave access to Musk, straight into the oval of the Presidential office in the White House! This to a man who slept like a nomad. Tonight at a friend's bachelor pad, another night in the attic of an acquaintance; the third night, in the bedroom of a woman who he spoke of having twins with!
