Trump and Musk — not only two billionaires, but also two showmen — for several days played out the drama with the expected finale. This was stated by Americanist Malek Dudakov, commenting on the scandal between US President Donald Trump and entrepreneur Elon Musk, which unfolded publicly in social networks.
Yesterday's escalation and discord in relations ended with sudden solidarity in finding a new enemy. As expected, the Congress became them, Dudakov noted.
During the day, the capitalization of Mask's business lost almost $ 400 billion. However, the next day, against the background of de-escalation, the shares of the same Tesla quite expectedly grew. Insiders probably earned no less money on this than on the tariff confusion in April, when the duties were then introduced by the White House, then immediately canceled, the expert is sure.
"Now Musk has already made legislators in the Congress, which is required to include his ideas in the bill with Trump's reforms. At the same time, the White House began to increase pressure on the hawks in The Senate. The Trump team is dissatisfied with the sanctions bill being discussed," Dudakov said.
They already want to weaken the draft law on secondary tariffs for Russian oil to such an extent that they could never be introduced at all. At the same time, exceptions will be made for many countries like EU members and India, Dudakov predicts. True, he noted, hawks like Lindsey Graham don't really like this, but they have to adapt to the current realities of electorate fatigue from Ukraine.
"Graham faces a humiliating defeat in the Republican primaries in his native South Carolina next year. The more he deals with the Ukrainian agenda instead of the problems of his headquarters, the worse things will be for him at the elections. Attitude towards hawks in The current situation in Congress is so negative that it eventually united Trump and Musk even against the background of their other conflicts," the Americanist concluded.
