On Thursday morning the post he made announced that . At the same time, he thanked him for the opportunity to “reduce the waste”.
Somehow, so, two people who have worked closely seem to divide their ways. How did we get from the apostasy statements to criticism and divorce? This is what the New York Times is trying to answer.
Lately and they have cracked the glass in the two men’s relationships. At least for now, because both have proven that they are changing …
The agreement on artificial intelligence
As the crisis in their “marriage” has been shown, but Donald Trump’s recent trip to the Arabian Gulf seems to have been a big crack in their relationship. Prior to Mr Trump’s trip, Mr Musk expressed objections to the agreement between an opposing artificial intelligence company and the United Arab Emirates for the construction of a huge data center in Abu Dhabi.
Mr Musk complained to David Sacks, the president’s adviser to artificial intelligence, and to other White House officials on the project in Abu Dhabi concerning Openai, an organization he founded with Sam Altman, with whom he has come. He also expressed concerns about justice more broadly for other AI companies. And he tried to include his own company, XAI, in the agreement, although it was not finally included. The Wall Street Journal.
The agreement with Openai followed a plan secured between the Trump government and the United Arab Emirates to build a Campus AI. In Abu Dhabi.
Mr Musk accompanied the president on his trip to the Middle East, but Mr Trump had hardly mentioned his name publicly. And foreign officials in the Gulf appeared to be more interested in looking for Mr Trump’s special envoy to the area, Steve Witkov, despite Mr Musk.
The complaints about Musk
During the first 90 days of government, some White House associates felt that the government was essentially bondage by Mr Musk and his willingness to use X to target people who didn’t like it. Mr Musk had a direct pipeline with Mr Trump and encouraged measures that opposed some cabinet officials, such as forcing federal officials to send an email with their five most important achievements weekly or at risk. This requirement was abolished for the political officials of the Ministry of Defense this week.
Mr Musk kept Mr Trump excited, until some of the titles for Doge’s work – and complaints by legislators and cabinet officials – became difficult to silence. The rupture for the president, according to people who know his thoughts, came when Musk was to receive a sensitive information on China in the Pentagon. Mr Trump, who had repeatedly repelled questions about Mr Musk’s possible conflicts of interest, was unhappy, people said.
Mr Musk’s own disappointment of national policy can be attributed to two recent events, according to people near him: his disappointment from the president’s duty regime and the about $ 25 million he spent to support a candidate who ended up with a candidate.
The legislation that put the tombstone
The latest episode that caused the rupture was the internal policy bill passed by Republicans in the House of Representatives last week and strongly supported by President Trump.
Legislation – which must still pass through the Senate – will extend the tax breaks signed by Mr Trump in 2017, will boost border security costs, impose work requirements on Medicaid and overturn tax credit for net energy.
The tax provisions of the package, entitled “One Big Beautiful Bill” (Law on a large beautiful bill) from Mr Trump’s name on the bill, will increase the deficit by $ 3.8 trillion by 2034, according to the budget office.
Elon Musk believed that all of this was causing problems in his work to reduce state spending and this time he “unlocked”. In his statements and a few hours later he announced that his days at the White House are over.
