Now That He's Turned on Trump, Should Democrats Align With Elon Musk?
Briefly

The sudden and tumultuous split between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, marked by personal attacks and accusations, has become a source of amusement and hope for liberals. After only 114 days of Musk's involvement in the Trump administration, the two publicly turned against each other, with Musk criticizing Trump's economic policies and Trump threatening to cut Musk's government subsidies. The conflict has raised questions about the potential consequences for the anti-Trump opposition, as many wonder if aligning with either figure is advantageous in the broader fight against Trump's influence.
After a mere 114 days, Musk left his White House job... Trump responded by asserting, 'The easiest way to save money in our Budget... is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts.'
The feud undeniably strengthens the anti-Trump opposition. As medieval folk wisdom teaches us, 'When thieves fall out, honest men come by their own.'
Musk accused Trump of economic mismanagement... He also claimed that Trump 'is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.'
While the entertainment value of the spat is invigorating, its actual political consequences are more ambiguous.
