Trump-Musk Feud Deepens GOP Division Amid 2024 Campaign

A public feud between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk has caused significant tension within the Republican Party, leaving many GOP lawmakers hesitant to comment. Musk, who heavily funded Trump's 2024 campaign, claimed credit for Trump's electoral victory and criticized key Republican legislation, but his attacks were largely rebuffed by House Republicans who remain loyal to Trump. Trump dismissed Musk as having "lost his mind" and indicated he had no interest in reconciling with the billionaire, underscoring the deteriorating relationship. The conflict escalated on social media, with Musk suggesting impeachment and raising allegations involving Trump, while Trump threatened to revoke Musk's government contracts. Conservative figures like Steve Bannon sided firmly with Trump, viewing Musk's influence as waning and out of step with the GOP’s populist agenda. This feud highlights a rare break in the previously aligned Trump-Musk political partnership, stirring uncertainty among Republican ranks about leadership and loyalty.
