Sam Altman saw Musk's fallout with Trump coming: 'Elon busts up with everybody'
Briefly

Elon Musk's partnership with Donald Trump showed signs of strain after Musk criticized the White House's decisions, particularly regarding Trump's proposed budget. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman predicted the fallout, referring to Musk's tendency to end partnerships. Trump expressed disappointment in Musk, even threatening to revoke government subsidies. The relationship reflects the powerful yet conflicting personalities of both individuals. The last few months suggest a cooling-off period following a once close political alliance, raising questions about future interactions and the sustainability of their partnership amidst political pressures.
Elon busts up with everybody... that's what he does.
Musk lambasted the decision-making of the White House particularly over Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill,' which he claimed undid all budgetary efficiencies.
The president said he was 'very disappointed' in Musk and threatened to withdraw government subsidies from his private endeavors.
Altman knows what it's like to partner with Musk and then watch the bridges burn, after their falling out post-2018.
