When Donald Trump brought the multi -illiarch Elon Musk to his team, many were considered agreed: that could not go well for long. Anthony Scaramucci, once a communication director in Trump’s first term for a few days, predicted shortly after the election that the new US president will end up “hell”. The egos of the two are too big, the theory, so that there was space for both in the White House in the long run.
Well, less than three months after Trump took office, the first big collision between the real estate mogul and the tech entrepreneur is emerging. The reason is the customs war that Trump unleashed against the world and which currently erases billions of stock market value in Musk’s companies every day. He made it clear on his house medium “X” that the Tesla boss does not keep anything of this brutal attack on free trade-by reposting a famous video of the business liberal pope Milton Friedman, a plea for free markets.
