Democrats wooing Musk after the Trump breakup is US plutocracy at its best

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have reportedly severed ties amid growing conflicts of interest. Following his departure as head of Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Trump criticized Musk publicly for his criticism of a controversial tax and spending bill, leading to dramatic social media exchanges between the two billionaires. The breakup underscores ongoing tensions between Trump and Musk, with political maneuvering and personal disputes overshadowing the issue, even as Tesla's treatment of workers raises eyebrows about their relationship’s complexities.
