Political Earthquake in the U.S.: Is Musk Aligning with the Democrats?

International News: A new stormy war has erupted in US politics, which is not limited to election strategies but has taken the form of a direct confrontation between two giants - President Donald Trump and billionaire industrialist Elon Musk. Trump has openly warned Musk that if he supports the Democrats, he will have to face "serious consequences." This confrontation is not only a sign of sourness in personal relationships but can also have a profound impact on America's future policies and balance of power.

The bond of friendship is broken, Trump said. There will be no talk now

In an interview with NBC News, Trump clearly said that he no longer wishes to improve relations with Musk. He also said that he had given Musk many benefits during his first administration, but now times have changed. “I’m extremely busy, and I have no intention of maintaining any relationship with Musk,” Trump stated.

Speculation of Musk's inclination towards Democrats

The root of Trump's displeasure is that Elon Musk may support the candidates of the Democratic Party in the 2026 midterm elections. Although Musk has not directly confirmed this, his recent posts on social media point in this direction. He has described the Republican Party's tax cut and spending bill as "harmful to the country" and said that it will further increase America's debt.

Review of contracts and crisis on Tesla

Trump indicated that government deals with Tesla and SpaceX could face renewed scrutiny. He told reporters on Air Force One that "we will investigate every major contract, because there is a lot of money involved." This could be a big blow to Musk, as his companies are associated with huge technical and defense contracts with the US government.

Talk of a new party and Trump's concern

In response to a post on the social media platform X, Musk also talked about forming a 'new party' that could truly represent 80% of the American middle class. It is clear from this that he is disappointed with both the mainstream Republicans and Democrats and is looking for an alternative political stream.

Trump's hopes, but Musk's distance can become difficult

Even though Trump is confident that his tax cut and spending bill will be passed before July 4, the distance of high-profile supporters like Musk can cost him and his party heavily. Elon Musk’s funding significantly reinforced Trump’s 2024 campaign. But now, if Musk does not support or the atmosphere in the tech industry becomes against Trump, it may be difficult for the Republican Party to retain the majority in the 2026 midterm elections.

This war between Trump and Musk is no longer just personal but has become a big battle that will decide the future of the American political landscape. If this conflict deepens further, not only could it cause an upheaval in the tech industry, but new equations could also emerge in American democracy.
