Video Description

A dramatic rift has erupted between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, once close allies in Trump’s second-term orbit.

Trump abruptly cut ties with Musk, removing key allies like NASA’s administrator, despite Musk's massive political donations and behind-the-scenes influence. Musk, feeling betrayed, fired back, publicly suggesting Trump should be impeached. Ian warns the feud reflects deeper dysfunction in American politics, where influence is bought, loyalty is volatile, and institutions bend to personal power. Still, don’t rule out a truce. As Ian notes, “They can clearly patch it up, and they should … because it is in both of their interests.” Keep up with global news and why it matters. Follow GZERO!
