Just when you thought reality TV had peaked—boom—Donald Trump and Elon Musk are back at it, serving up a hot dish of ego, subpoenas, and social media shade that would make Madea clutch her pearls.
In a plot more tangled than “The Oval”, the former U.S. President and the Tesla/SpaceX/Everything-But-Earth CEO are beefing like it’s season 4 of Sistas. Their latest feud? Trump accused Musk of being a “borderline Epstein boy” during an off-the-rails rally, referencing the billionaire’s alleged link to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Musk clapped back, saying Trump should “worry more about Stormy than SpaceX.”
