The Trump-Musk feud isn’t about ideology. It’s about dominion. Who gets to speak. Who gets heard. Who owns the attention economy.

It began with a ‘Xeet,’ or rather, a post on X, the social media platform that used to be Twitter, before Elon Musk rechristened it and, in the process, turned it into a digital colosseum where billionaires and presidents wrestled for narrative control. In April 2025, Donald Trump was back in the White House, and Elon Musk—less a man than a gravitational field of ambition—had finally soured on the president he once championed.

Musk posted a characteristically cryptic, mildly threatening message: ‘Interesting to consider who really won 2024.

The implication was clear: Musk had helped Trump win, and Trump wasn’t being grateful enough.
