Donald Trump versus Elon Musk. What fate awaits the director of Tesla?
Donald Trump was clearly disgusted and reacted sharply to the public half of Elon Musk in the face of his « great, beautiful act. »
While previous experiences in such disputes on the Musk -Trump line could be a premise that everything will go down the bones, the current violent dispute between Trump and Musk does not promise to be a quarrel, which will end in a compromise. The political landscape in the USAs abounds in examples of characters, former Trump’s colleagues, whose careers were in ruins after open contact with his person – write the publicists of the tabloid « USA Today ».
Former allies in a political war
The list of people who in the past have been in conflict with Trump is long enough to mention everyone. Among them was, among others, Michael Cohen, who served as the personal lawyer of the president and for years he was an extremely loyal collaborator of the billionaire. Cohen himself has repeatedly emphasized that his own transitions can prove how difficult the consequences Muska await. The head of Teski, like Cohen, can be completely swept out of the board after a collision with the political Machina of Trump. Cohen also added that a businessman from the Silicon Valley is not aware of how demanding such a confrontation is.
Cohen undoubtedly suffered the most violent fall. He was imprisoned after revealing the details of his role in transactions, the purpose of which was to cover up the story involving Trump and adult film actress. This scandal broke out before the election in 2016. As a result, Cohen became a key witness against Trump regarding the so -called payments for silence, which had serious consequences for the political future of the president. Cohen felt betrayed to such an extent that he called his book about these events « disloyal », and the White House attempted to block her publication.
Behavior towards other colleagues
In similar circumstances, other close associates of Trump also suffered. Jeff Sessions, a former Prosecutor General, while still withdrawing from the proceedings regarding suspicion of Russian interference in the presidential election 2016. This was angry with Trump, who openly called the appointment of Sessions with a mistake and constantly criticized him. Trump supported the opponent of the former General Prosecutor in party primaries, which ended in the defeat of Sessions. He did not become a senator and disappeared from politics.
John Bolton and attempts to block the book
Among the most spectacular conflicts was also the confrontation of Trump with John Bolton, who sat in the White House as a national security advisor. According to Bolton, the president was ready to use all possible funds to prevent his book « The Room Where It Happened » (« The room in which it happened »). The United States government has taken legal steps, accusing Bolton of allegedly violating contracts for confidentiality. Bolton, however, maintained that the allegations were unfounded, and the book eventually reached the readers.
What fate awaits Musk?
According to Michael Cohen, Elon Muska can meet what he has ever had.
« They will take his money, close his interests and either close him (in prison – ed.), Or they deport, » said Cohen. « Probably the White House is already working after hours, wondering how to close all this damn matter, » he added.
« If what happened to me is any indicator of how they deal with these matters, then Elon will be decimated
Cohen said, former lawyer of Donald Trump.
In turn, Bolton believes that Musk has definitely more resources to counteract possible attacks from Trump. The boss of Tesla and SpaceX have inexhaustible funds and manages platform X, which allows him to shape the message directly on the network. In addition, Musk’s billion contracts with the government – although exposed to blockages – could not be so easily broken even in the face of strong political pressure.
– It will end like most fights in the mud, except that they will both be in a worse situation. The question is, if it will be worse in the country
– comments Bolton.
At the same time, Bolton adds that both sides can suffer strongly on this dispute. He emphasizes that when Donald Trump challenges an influential person, confrontation rarely takes place within standard debates, and its finale becomes painful for both tense business and political relations and the stability of the whole country.
