00:00The Battle of Billionaires
00:06From allies in war to allies at war
00:14Big beautiful bill triggers big breakups
00:21Elon's shocking turn jolves the right
00:30The X Factor
00:35Trump vs. Musk
00:36Big focus on news track
00:39The gloves are off
00:45No holds barred fight
00:47That's playing out between Donald Trump and Elon Musk
00:50And for all to see
00:51In a public spectacle
00:53They've been fighting it out on social media
00:55Over the big beautiful bill
00:58I've not made up that name
00:59That's actually what the bill is called
01:01You're watching news track
01:02I'm Akshra Tananda Gopala
01:03Over the next 30 minutes
01:04We're going to be decoding
01:05What this entire tussle
01:07Between Trump and Musk is all about
01:10And will they actually go ahead
01:12And reach some sort of a middle ground
01:14Will they be mediation
01:15Will they end this scuffle
01:17We're going to be talking about that
01:18And much more
01:19Let's begin
01:20Many would say that this has been a long time coming
01:26The fight between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump
01:30The relationship between them rapidly unraveled
01:33Escalating into a high profile political and personal feud
01:37With implications far beyond just social media bubs
01:40According to the Wall Street Journal
01:42Trump is now considering getting rid of his red Tesla
01:45Vehicle that he actually bought earlier this year
01:48Just months ago
01:49As a show of support for Musk
01:51During a wave of anti-Tesla protests
01:53He's clearly having second thoughts now
01:55Once a symbol of alliance
01:57The car now sits parked outside the West Wing
01:59As a quiet reminder
02:00Of that fractured partnership
02:03Gone sore
02:03In just a matter of 24 hours
02:05Donald Trump told multiple US media outlets
02:09That he has no plans to speak with Elon Musk
02:12Dismissing the tech billionaire
02:13As a man who's lost his mind in calling
02:16He's called Elon a poor guy
02:19Who's got a problem
02:20That's how Donald Trump has described him
02:21Saying it doesn't matter to him
02:23What's really happening with Elon Musk
02:24Despite the tension
02:26US media has confirmed
02:28That Musk may actually meet with White House aides
02:31In a possible effort to de-escalate
02:34For a ceasefire
02:35A sign both sides may recognize
02:38The broader political
02:39And importantly economic implications as well
02:42Now as the public spat
02:46Between Donald Trump and Elon Musk escalates
02:49From sharp social media jabs
02:51To threats over government contracts
02:53Many Americans are reacting
02:55With a mix of disbelief
02:56And also a tinge of amusement
02:59Americans are weighing in
03:00On what's become that very public unraveling
03:02Of the once curious alliance
03:04Between two of America's most polarizing
03:07And yet powerful figures
03:08Listen then to what Americans have to say
03:10About what's been playing out
03:11I think it was pretty predictable
03:14I mean you look at some of the other players
03:17Like Michael Cohen
03:18And some of the other people
03:19That he's had that you know
03:21Supported him and have been friends with him
03:23And been in business with him
03:24It seems like a lot of people
03:25Have turned on him over the years
03:27So
03:27They're two guys who are very powerful
03:30And they have big egos
03:31And I don't know how much of it is staged
03:33And I don't know how much of it is staged as well
03:34You know Trump is a reality TV guy
03:36And people say
03:37He's said so much stuff on social media
03:39Even before he ran for president
03:41To get attention
03:41And it's so hard to know
03:43Like how much of this is staged
03:44And how much of it is real
03:45I think social media is a very toxic tool
03:48For having debates
03:50And I think if they
03:52If I were to give them professional advice
03:54Gentlemen get into a room
03:56And hash out your differences
03:57Like we all do in the workplace
03:59And hopefully that will lead to a better outcome I guess
04:01It looks like a lot of petty fighting
04:04A lot of male hubris
04:05Just out on display
04:07I mean the odds of actually guessing
04:09What's going to come next
04:11Has never been as weird as now
04:13I don't think our country's ever experienced this
04:17Exact circumstances
04:19Maybe similar
04:21But the world was different then
04:23That relationship was doomed
04:26Just like so many of the other relationships
04:28That happen between the president
04:30And other people at that level
04:32Seems like they kind of use each other
04:35For whatever it is
04:36But I'm not real surprised
04:39That that's happening at all
04:40So almost every American
04:44Dismissing this feud
04:46And saying that you know
04:47This is just downright ugly
04:49And the world is watching
04:51Because no matter of 24 hours
04:53The Trump-Musk relationship
04:54Has imploded
04:55Once allies
04:56Now adversaries
04:58Fighting it out on social media
05:00But what exactly happened?
05:02Why have we got Epstein
05:04Impeachment
05:05All of it being dragged in
05:07By Trump and Musk
05:08In our next report
05:09We first decode for you
05:11What was the trigger
05:12For this kind of a fight?
05:19The Trump vs. Musk fight
05:21Has turned into a full-blown war
05:23It all started with
05:26The first public takedown of Musk
05:28By the US president
05:30He knew every aspect of this bill
05:33He knew it better than almost anybody
05:35And he never had a problem
05:36Until right after he left
05:38And if you saw the statements he made about me
05:40Which I'm sure you can get very easily
05:42It's very fresh
05:42On tape
05:43He said the most beautiful things about me
05:46And he hasn't said bad about me personally
05:48But I'm sure that'll be next
05:49The big beautiful bill that triggered a Musk meltdown
05:55Got a strong reaction from the Tesla CEO
05:57Musk declared on Twitter
05:59That he had never seen the bill
06:01Trump hit back
06:03Calling Musk an in-grade billionaire
06:05And accused him of throwing a tantrum
06:07After losing electric vehicle subsidies
06:10I'm very disappointed in Elon
06:12I've helped Elon a lot
06:13It's not
06:14He's not the first
06:15People leave
06:17My administration
06:18And they love us
06:21And then
06:22At some point
06:23They miss it so badly
06:25And some of them
06:26Embrace it
06:27And some of them
06:28Actually become hostile
06:29I don't know what it is
06:30It's sort of
06:31Trump derangement syndrome
06:32I guess they call it
06:33But we have it with us too
06:35They leave
06:36And they wake up in the morning
06:38And the glamour's gone
06:40The whole world is different
06:42And they become hostile
06:44I don't know what it is
06:45Someday you'll write a book about it
06:46And you'll let us know
06:47Elon Musk fired the next shot
06:49Saying Trump owed his 2020 win to him
06:53He even put up a poll
06:55On his social media platform X
06:57Asking if he should float his own political party
07:00Trump then escalated the feud
07:03Going on to declare
07:04On his truth social platform
07:06That he will be cutting subsidies
07:08Given to Musk
07:08That made the SpaceX founders say
07:11That he would begin decommissioning
07:13SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft
07:15Dragon is the only US spacecraft
07:18Capable of sending astronauts
07:19To the International Space Station
07:21Then the bombshell
07:24Musk vowing to support Trump's impeachment
07:27Calling the bill
07:28And Trump's conduct
07:29A betrayal of every principle
07:31He once pretended to stand for
07:33The feud hit the roof
07:35When Musk accused Trump
07:37Of suppressing the full
07:38Jeffrey Epstein files
07:40Saying that Trump himself
07:41Was named in the sealed documents
07:43The political fallout
07:46Had financial consequences
07:48Tesla stock plunged
07:50Erasing $153 billion
07:52In market value
07:53And wiping over $20 billion
07:56From Musk's net worth
07:58In hours
07:59Two egos
08:00One broken alliance
08:02And a whole nation
08:04Watching the fallout
08:05Unfold in real time
08:07Bureau Report
08:09India Today
08:09Okay, let me bring in
08:15On this broadcast
08:16Professor David K. Johnston
08:17Journalist and author
08:19He's a professor of public policy
08:20At the Rochester Institute of Technology
08:22Professor Johnston
08:23Thank you very much
08:24For your time
08:25I don't think any of us
08:26Are really surprised
08:27By what's happened
08:28But was it really
08:29Just a matter of time
08:30Before this kind of
08:31An ugly public spat
08:33Between Musk and Trump
08:34Oh, absolutely
08:38All of Donald's relationships
08:40Eventually come a cropper
08:42Because everything with Donald
08:44Is transactional
08:46And it's based on loyalty
08:48To Donald personally
08:49And so once you have
08:51A significant disagreement
08:52Things begin to fall apart
08:54In this case
08:55Elon Musk
08:57Having gotten rid of
08:58All of the sources
09:00Of accountability
09:00For his government contracts
09:02Inspectors, general
09:03Lawyers
09:04Contract officers
09:05Had a person
09:07He wanted to run
09:08NASA
09:09The National Aeronautics
09:10And Space Administration
09:12Where he has
09:13Billions of dollars
09:14In contracts
09:14And Trump said no
09:16And picked somebody else
09:17And that's where
09:17This all began to fall apart
09:19Essentially
09:21You have two
09:22Very corrupt men
09:23Trying to divide up
09:24What they regard
09:25As their right
09:26To the spoils
09:27But who do you think
09:29Professor Johnston
09:31I'm curious to know
09:31Has more to lose
09:32In this feud
09:33Trump or Musk
09:35And why
09:35Oh I think Musk
09:39Is much more in jeopardy
09:40First of all
09:41He lost 20 billion dollars
09:44Yesterday
09:44In the value
09:46Of his Tesla stock
09:47Which he's borrowed
09:48Against to finance
09:49Other ventures
09:50And Musk
09:52And Musk certainly has
09:53In his contracts
09:54With his bankers
09:55Requirements
09:56On keeping a certain
09:57Minimum level
09:58Of net worth
09:58And a certain amount
09:59Of cash flow
10:00As a condition
10:01Of his loans
10:02And Trump
10:03Spoke about
10:04Canceling contracts
10:06That
10:07Musk has
10:08With the government
10:09Which would be
10:09Devastating to the finances
10:11Of the richest man
10:12In the world
10:13But do you also think
10:15And yes you've said
10:16That you know
10:16Musk is going
10:17To suffer maximum
10:18The consequences
10:19Of this kind
10:20Of a rift
10:20But does something
10:21Like this also
10:22Dent Trump's popularity
10:24As Musk seems
10:24To suggest
10:25Professor
10:25Well it won't hurt
10:29Trump one bit
10:30With his base followers
10:32Who are 20-25%
10:34Of Americans
10:35They're going to be
10:36With Trump
10:37No matter what he does
10:38As Donald said
10:38I could shoot someone
10:39On Fifth Avenue
10:40And not lose a vote
10:41But it is exposing
10:43Rifts in the Republican Party
10:46Particularly the U.S. Senate
10:47Over the
10:49What Donald calls
10:50The big beautiful bill
10:51And Musk calls
10:53The big ugly bill
10:54And I think the facts
10:55On that one
10:56Are much more
10:57With Musk
10:57And let's just talk
11:00About that big
11:01Beautiful bill
11:02First I cannot believe
11:03That's the name
11:03Of an actual legislation
11:05But if there's been
11:07Such a pushback
11:08On this bill
11:09On this reform professor
11:10What really explains
11:11Why Trump
11:12You know despite that
11:14Has remained stubborn
11:15On this particular bill
11:16Well Donald has no idea
11:22What's actually in his bill
11:23Nor do many of the Republicans
11:25And several Republicans
11:26Who voted for it
11:27In the House
11:27Have come out
11:28And said
11:28I don't know what's in it
11:29It was just
11:30The Republican bill
11:31Were to vote for
11:32And so Trump
11:34Recognizes this
11:36Not as a matter
11:37Of policy
11:38Of fiscal prudence
11:39Of providing
11:40For those things
11:42That will make
11:42The American economy
11:43Best
11:45It's what feeds
11:46His ego
11:47And remember
11:48Donald confirmed
11:50Something last month
11:51That I've been saying
11:52Since 2011
11:53That he believes
11:54He is the only person
11:56Who could possibly
11:57Be president
11:57And be competent
11:59And that he thinks
12:00He should run
12:01The whole world
12:01And what did Trump
12:02Tell Atlantic Magazine
12:0414 years after
12:05I first said that
12:06I run the country
12:07And the whole world
12:08And to Donald
12:10The details
12:10They're insignificant
12:11This is all about
12:12The image of him
12:14In the world
12:15And my final question
12:17To you Professor Johnston
12:18Is you know
12:19How is this going to end
12:20What's going to happen next
12:21Do you think
12:22There's going to be
12:23Some form of mediation
12:24Is that what it will take
12:25For Trump and Musk
12:27To get back together
12:28And at least be
12:29On you know
12:30The same page now
12:32Do you think
12:32It'll take mediation
12:33Or some outreach
12:34From the White House
12:35Or vice versa
12:35Well at the moment
12:40Donald is trying
12:41To get some kind
12:42Of reconciliation
12:43He's backed off
12:44A little bit
12:44Of his most
12:45Flamboyant statements
12:47About Musk
12:48They will have to come
12:51To some sort of
12:52An accord
12:52Or there's going to be
12:53A serious meltdown
12:54In other areas
12:55He doesn't want
12:56And right now
12:57Republican leadership
12:58In the U.S. Senate
12:59And apparently also
13:00In the House
13:01Is trying very hard
13:02To shore up support
13:03For the spending bill
13:06Because of the
13:08Molotov cocktail
13:09That has been thrown
13:11Into this by Elon Musk
13:12But you know
13:13At the end of the day
13:14There'll be some kind
13:15Of relationship there
13:16Donald for example
13:18Got rid of his advisor
13:20Stephen Bannon
13:22Some time ago
13:23Of a disagreement
13:24They had
13:25Donald still
13:26Listen somewhat
13:27If not directly
13:28Then indirectly
13:29To Bannon's
13:30Generally pretty sound
13:32Advice about this bill
13:33Okay
13:36Let me leave it at that
13:37Professor Johnston
13:38Thank you very much
13:38For your time
13:39For joining us here
13:40On India Today
13:41And helping us
13:42Really decode
13:42What's been playing out
13:43Between Trump and Musk
13:45And you know
13:46At this point
13:46It's impossible
13:47To say what's going
13:48To happen next
13:48Because you have
13:49Two extremely volatile
13:51Unpredictable characters
13:52Indulged in this
13:53Very public spat
13:54Despite the fact
13:56That both of them
13:57Hold such important positions
13:58One of them being
13:59The President
14:00Of United States
14:02But what really
14:03Is the bone of contention
14:04Here I've been referring
14:05To it as a big
14:05Beautiful bill
14:06I've now made up
14:07That name
14:08It's actually the name
14:09Of the legislation
14:10It's one big
14:11Beautiful bill
14:12Is the name given
14:13By Donald Trump
14:14Typical of him
14:15But what exactly
14:16Is this bill about
14:17Well the White House
14:19It's a budget
14:19Reconciliation bill
14:21So essentially
14:21It makes 2017
14:23Tax cuts permanent
14:24Now the argument
14:25Against that
14:26Which Musk
14:27Has been talking about
14:28Is that this kind
14:29Of a tax
14:30Tax cut
14:30Raises your debt ceiling
14:32Which is why
14:32He's been opposing it
14:33To the nail
14:34Now what this bill does
14:36The White House
14:36Has been speaking about it
14:37Saying it ends taxes
14:38On tips
14:39And overtime as well
14:41So they've said
14:41That that's hugely beneficial
14:43There's no question
14:44Of any sort of blowback
14:45Now as far as
14:46Elon Musk goes
14:47And those who are
14:48Against it
14:49They say that
14:50All of this
14:50This kind of
14:51Budget reconciliation
14:52Will actually lead
14:54To deficit
14:55Spiralling
14:56Out of control
14:57And therefore
14:57The economy of America
14:58Will be dented
15:00Will be dented
15:00But contrary to that
15:01Donald Trump
15:02The White House
15:03Have maintained
15:04That this actually
15:05Boosts domestic
15:06Manufacturing
15:07Because there are
15:08Tax breaks
15:09So it will be
15:10Beneficial to the
15:11People of America
15:12Now as far as
15:14The argument
15:14Against this bill
15:15Goes
15:15They say
15:16That millions
15:17Could also be
15:18Affected
15:19In the sense
15:19That they could
15:19Lose medic aid
15:21And I'll bring that
15:21To the next point
15:22The reason
15:23That they say
15:24Many could lose
15:25Medic aid
15:25Is essentially
15:26Because at this
15:28Point the bill
15:29Also talks about
15:29Targeting waste
15:30And fraud
15:31In medic aid
15:32And in food aid
15:33It also protects
15:34Pregnant women
15:35Disabled and elderly
15:36How does it do that
15:38Well it essentially
15:39Ensures that there is
15:40Also some help
15:41That's given to them
15:42So that's part
15:43Of the legislation
15:44But Musk has
15:46Always said that
15:46This actually
15:47Will only ensure
15:48That there's
15:49Income inequality
15:50That the differences
15:51Will grow as a
15:52Result of these
15:53Kind of doles
15:53But mind you
15:54While you see
15:55All of these
15:55Differences being
15:56Played out
15:57And we've got
15:57You the arguments
15:58For and against
15:58Donald Trump
15:59Maintains that
16:00The reason Elon
16:01Musk is against
16:02It is because
16:03Part of the bill
16:03Also talks about
16:04Cutting off
16:05Any sort of
16:07Perks that you
16:08Get for clean
16:09Energy
16:10For endorsing
16:11Clean energy
16:11And obviously
16:12With Trump
16:12With Musk having
16:14Tesla
16:14That does hit him
16:16Hard
16:16So Trump says
16:17That's the reason
16:18He's opposing
16:19This big beautiful bill
16:21As it's called
16:21Now in a 2021
16:23Interview we want
16:24To take you back
16:24In time to a clip
16:25That's going viral
16:26Right now
16:27Because Musk made
16:28His stance on
16:29Government subsidies
16:30Crystal clear
16:31He said scrap them all
16:32He argued that
16:33Neither electric vehicles
16:34Nor traditional
16:35Energy industries
16:36Like oil and gas
16:37Should receive
16:38Taxpayer support
16:39Trump
16:40You had Musk
16:41At that point
16:41Even rejecting
16:42The EV tax credit
16:43Dismissing federal funding
16:45For EV charging
16:45Infrastructure
16:46Calling all of it
16:48Unnecessary
16:49Now you know
16:50What are standards
16:51We don't need
16:54This $7,500
16:54Tax credit
16:55I would say
16:57Honestly
16:58I would just
16:59Can this whole bill
17:00Don't pass it
17:01That's my recommendation
17:02Do we need support
17:03For gas stations
17:03We don't
17:05So there's no
17:06There's no need
17:07For this
17:07For support
17:09For a charging network
17:09I would delete it
17:11Delete
17:11I'm literally saying
17:12Get rid of all subsidies
17:13But also for oil and gas
17:15So as you heard
17:19From Professor Johnston
17:21He did speak about
17:22How perhaps
17:22Musk could lose out
17:24Way more
17:24Than Donald Trump
17:25Here's why
17:26Musk's businesses now
17:28Stand to lose
17:30Big time
17:30And we've already seen
17:31That in Tesla stocks
17:32Crashing
17:33And the market
17:34Suffering as a result
17:35But let's explain to you
17:36How Musk's
17:37Many many businesses
17:38Could suffer
17:38Starting off
17:39With Starlink
17:40Well if the government
17:42Wants of Donald Trump
17:43Wants he can really
17:43Crack the whip
17:44On Elon Musk
17:45Here's how
17:46For Starlink
17:47Federal Communications
17:48Commission
17:48Is reviewing the bid
17:50For expanded
17:51Satellite spectrum
17:52They could go ahead
17:53And say no
17:54To Musk
17:55What will that mean
17:56It will affect
17:57Starlink's
17:57Internet expansion plans
17:59So there
17:59You've got
18:00Musk's growth plans
18:02Being curtailed
18:03As far as
18:03SpaceX goes
18:04Environmental
18:05Protection agency
18:07Essentially regulates
18:08Site impact
18:09Wastewater discharge
18:10If they want
18:11They can go ahead
18:12And red flag
18:13SpaceX
18:14They review launches
18:15Land
18:16Wildlife
18:17Impact
18:17So every single
18:19Launch that
18:19SpaceX has
18:20The government
18:21Could go ahead
18:21And say no
18:22This is going ahead
18:23And impacting
18:24The environment
18:25We're not going
18:25To allow it
18:26Similarly for SpaceX
18:27The other aspect
18:28Is that the
18:28Federal Aviation
18:29Administration
18:29Proposed a
18:31$633,000 fine
18:34For license violations
18:35This right now
18:37Is a proposal
18:38They could push
18:39For that money
18:40To be recovered
18:40From Elon Musk
18:42As far as
18:43Tesla goes
18:43We've already
18:44Spoken about
18:45The clean energy
18:46Rebate that you get
18:48That's not going
18:49To happen
18:49But besides that
18:50For Tesla
18:51The National Highway
18:52Traffic Safety
18:53Administration
18:54Is investigating
18:55The full
18:56Self-driving
18:57System safety
18:58Which has been
18:58Rather controversial
18:59And it's something
19:00That's right now
19:01In the process
19:01Of scrutiny
19:02Now they're
19:03Probing several
19:05Aspects of that
19:06Robotaxi launch
19:07Tech weather
19:08Response
19:08If they want
19:09They can go ahead
19:10And show a red
19:10Signal to Musk
19:12Moving forward
19:13With any more
19:14Tech on that front
19:15Then there's
19:16Neuralink
19:16Which is something
19:17Musk has been
19:17Extremely
19:18Extremely passionate
19:19About
19:19He's repeatedly
19:20Spoken about it
19:21On X
19:21Food and Drug
19:23Administration
19:23Oversees clinical
19:24Trials
19:25As well as
19:25Device approvals
19:26Trials remember
19:27Were delayed
19:28Due to safety
19:28Issues
19:29It's now ongoing
19:30But you never know
19:31The government
19:32May step in
19:32And say look
19:33We want to
19:34Stop the clearance
19:35That we gave
19:35Earlier
19:36In which case
19:37All the growth
19:37That Musk is
19:38Looking to see
19:39In a Neuralink
19:40Could be stalled
19:41And then of course
19:42This is social
19:43Media
19:44Platform X
19:45Securities and
19:47Exchange Commission
19:47Lawsuit over
19:48Musk's 2022
19:50Twitter acquisition
19:51Is something that
19:52Could seriously
19:53Be a problem
19:54For Musk
19:55He's going to be
19:56Responding to the
19:56Allegations
19:57Next month
19:58So this could be
19:59A huge roadblock
20:00For him
20:01For his social
20:02Media
20:02Platform X
20:02So every single
20:03Company he owns
20:04The government
20:05Can go ahead
20:06And choke him
20:07If they want to
20:08But let's recap
20:09For you
20:10We've spoken
20:10About what's
20:11Gone wrong
20:11Between Trump
20:12And Musk
20:13But let's go
20:13Back in time
20:14To when things
20:15Were good
20:15Not so long
20:16How it started
20:18How it started off
20:18They were the
20:19Odd couple of
20:20American power
20:21Donald Trump
20:22Elon Musk
20:22One fueled by
20:24Politics
20:24The other
20:25By rockets
20:26But behind the
20:27Handshakes
20:28Behind the headlines
20:29A bond that
20:30Shaped policy
20:31Business and
20:32Global influence
20:33Was formed
20:34Now of course
20:35It's war
20:35So from
20:36Bromance to
20:37Blow up
20:37Here's our report
20:39On exactly what
20:40Happened
20:40The rise
20:41And the fall
20:42Of this very
20:43Very public
20:43Alliance
20:44It started as
20:57An unlikely
20:57Alliance
20:58The real estate
20:59Giant turned
21:00President
21:01And the tech
21:01Titan
21:02Obsessed with
21:03Mars
21:03But by
21:042017
21:05Donald Trump
21:06And Elon
21:07Musk
21:07Were not
21:07His allies
21:08They were
21:09In lockstep
21:10From energy
21:11Policy to
21:12Economic
21:13Strategy
21:13Musk stood
21:14By Trump
21:15Even after
21:16Public backlash
21:17He sat
21:17On the
21:18President's
21:18Business
21:19Council
21:19Appearing
21:20More loyal
21:21Than most
21:22Republican
21:22Senators
21:23The romance
21:25Went global
21:26Musk once
21:27An outsider
21:28Found himself
21:29On calls
21:29With world
21:30Leaders
21:30Meetings
21:32With India's
21:33Modi
21:33Francis
21:35Macron
21:36And even
21:37Korea's
21:38Envoys
21:38When Trump
21:39Could not
21:40Show
21:40Musk
21:41Did
21:41It wasn't
21:44Just policy
21:45It was
21:46Personal
21:46Lileks
21:48Musk's
21:49Toddler's
21:50Son
21:50Was even
21:51Seen
21:51Skipping
21:51Through
21:52The West
21:52Wing
21:52With
21:53Donald
21:53Trump
21:53Himself
21:54Tweet
21:57After
21:58Tweet
21:58Musk
21:59Gushed
22:00Admiration
22:00For
22:00Trump
22:01The
22:01Bromance
22:02Was
22:02Public
22:02Passionate
22:03And
22:04Powerful
22:04I'm
22:06Going to
22:06Buy
22:07And
22:08I'm
22:08Going to
22:08Buy
22:09Because
22:09Number
22:10One
22:10It's
22:10A
22:10Great
22:10Product
22:11As
22:11Good
22:11As
22:11It
22:12Gets
22:12And
22:13Number
22:13Two
22:13Because
22:13This
22:14Man
22:14Is
22:14Devoted
22:14His
22:15Energy
22:15In
22:16Today
22:16Is
22:17I
22:18I
22:18Think
22:18He's
22:18Been
22:18Treated
22:19Very
22:19Unfairly
22:19By
22:20A
22:20Very
22:21Small
22:21Group
22:21Of
22:21People
22:22And
22:23I
22:23Just
22:23Want
22:23People
22:23To
22:24Know
22:24That
22:24You
22:25Can't
22:25Be
22:26Penalized
22:26For
22:26Being
22:26A
22:27Patriot
22:27And
22:28He's
22:28A
22:28Great
22:28Patriot
22:29And
22:30he's also done an incredible job with Tesla. And I mean, nobody else has a car company started up
22:36in the last 30 years. It's been successful. I don't think so. The tide has turned. The crack
22:42is wide open. From policy disputes to personal digs, their once powerful alliance turned into
22:49an open warfare. Contracts were pulled, accusations flew, and Musk's fortune evaporated by over a
22:58hundred billion. The bromance has crumbled. No more tweets, no more handshakes. From Oval Office to
23:06Open Feud, the breakup is on the world stage. Bureau Report, India Today.
23:14You can never really say what's going to be next with two characters like Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
23:20So volatile, so unpredictable. We'll continue keeping track of all the updates and reactions
23:25that come in from Trump and Musk. But that's all we have time for on this special broadcast.
23:30Thanks very much for tuning in.
