Mega vs. Maga 1-0. In the ideological controversy between Mega (Make Europe Great Again – Make Europe again) and Maga (Make America Great Again – Make America Great again), Mega, the current of European tramping created by Maga, wins.
After the victory of the nationalist and Euroscepticist Carol Navrotsky In Poland’s presidential election last Sunday, and the highlight of the Chega far -right party (enough!) Andre Venture In an official opposition to the early Portuguese elections on May 18 – for the first time in the country’s history – the European version of tramping is reinforced.
At the same time, the US president’s friendly relationship with his Russian counterpart is disturbed by the Ukrainian and rigidity of Moscow to negotiate, in essence, the end of the war. In the US, however, Trump, Maga and the Republican Party lose their most important financial supporter, him, The richest man in the world.
The ‘abomination’
The reason for the exhibition of heavy verbal fires on social networks on Thursday night was the Trump government’s bill to increase budget spending, which Musk described as a “abomination”.
Trump’s, for four months, unpaid adviser and head of the Doge Government Efficiency Service, was trying to contain. The mischievous, however, claims that Musk is over when he saw that the bill in question does not include government subsidies in electronic vehicles such as Tesla, which belongs to him.
Worry
If the rupture is expanded, the two men could hurt each other in many ways. And since one of them is the US president, any Musk’s hostile initiative against Trump can change the dynamics of his second presidency. Musk spent $ 275 million to contribute to the Republican candidate in the November US presidential election.
Now, as the two million friendship has been shaken, Oh, he could use his billions to fund campaigns against Republicans. In view of the intermediate elections for the American Congress, which will be held in November 2026, many Republican MPs who benefited from Musk’s money (such as, for example, Tony Gonzaleza MP of Texas, who received $ 800,000) is concerned about their re -election. Musk may also decide not to offer the sum of $ 100 additional millions of dollars that has promised further support to philosopher organizations.
$ 3 billion contracts
Musk could also undermine the Trump government using his companies. In a post he wrote that he intends to “immediately turn off” the “Dragon” spaceship of Spacex, which carries NASA astronauts and supplies to and from the International Space Station. Musk’s threats had the direct consequence of the far -right Steven Banonan ideological brain of tramping and a former Trump adviser during his first presidential term, who is one of MSK’s heavier critics, propose to the US president to cancel all Musk contracts with federal services and in addition to requesting his investigation.
According to the New York Times, in 2023 Musk companies had secured three billion dollars’ contracts with 17 US federal services. Banon also asked Trump to investigate the use of drugs allegedly was doing by Musk, who reported in a report by the “Nuts” – a fact that Musk has not denied – and Musk’s efforts to be informed of classified military information about China and in the US.
Estain case
In one of his posts in X, Musk, without submitting evidence, claimed that the Trump government deliberately delayed the notification of files for him Jeffrey Ekstain, The formerly big -scale trafficking and pedagogy condemned, who committed suicide in prison in 2019 because Trump’s name appeared in these records. Similar scandalous posts can personally harm Trump and the institution of the American Presidency.
. He has already referred to the possibility of stopping government contracts with Musk companies, including Spacex and Tesla, writing that “this would be the easiest way to save money on our budget”. Trump can also withdraw the security license, which Musk holds in the context of government contracts related to SpaceX’s cooperation with NASA. In this case, MSK’s cooperation with the US government would be further difficult.
Given the wide range of powers that Trump has as president, including the ability to sign executive decrees to punish political opponents and ask the Ministry of Justice to pursue investigations such as those requested by Banon, the US president has the power.
