I Feel Like a Kid of a Bitter Divorce Wishing ‘Mommy and Daddy Would Stop Screaming’: Cruz on Trump vs Musk
The ongoing feud between US President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk has been making headlines globally. The two have been trading barbs on social media, with Trump labeling Musk as “a very dishonest guy” and Musk responding by calling Trump “a disaster”. But what’s the real story behind the scenes? According to Republican Senator Ted Cruz, he has witnessed firsthand the explosive reactions of Trump when Musk starts posting against his decisions.
In an interview with a news outlet, Cruz revealed that he has a good friendship with both Trump and Musk, and that he has been a witness to the intense exchanges between the two. “Trump was pissed. He was venting,” Cruz said, describing Trump’s reaction when Musk starts posting against his decisions. “I feel like the kid of a bitter divorce where you’re just saying, ‘I wish mommy and daddy would stop screaming’.”
Cruz’s comments provide a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of the Trump administration and the intense rivalry between the two individuals. Trump, known for his mercurial temperament, is said to be extremely sensitive to criticism, and it appears that Musk’s outspoken nature has been a major source of frustration for him.
The feud between Trump and Musk started earlier this year when Musk tweeted that the US should be a “honest broker” in the Middle East, rather than taking sides with Israel or Palestine. Trump responded by calling Musk a “very dishonest guy” and saying that he was not a fan of his. Musk, known for his quick wit and sharp tongue, fired back by calling Trump a “disaster” and saying that he was “not a good person”.
The exchange has continued to escalate, with both sides trading insults and accusations. But Cruz’s comments suggest that the tension between the two goes far beyond mere differences of opinion. “When Musk starts tweeting about Trump’s decisions, Trump gets very upset,” Cruz said. “He’s a very sensitive guy, and he doesn’t like to be criticized.”
Cruz’s friendship with both Trump and Musk provides a unique perspective on the feud. As a senator, Cruz has worked closely with the Trump administration on various issues, and he has also been a vocal supporter of Musk’s ventures, including his work on electric cars and space exploration.
Despite the intense rivalry between Trump and Musk, Cruz remains optimistic that the two can find a way to work together. “I think that Trump and Musk are both very smart guys, and they both have a lot to offer,” Cruz said. “I think that they can find common ground and work together to achieve great things.”
But for now, the feud between Trump and Musk continues to dominate the headlines. And as Cruz’s comments suggest, the tension between the two is very real. “I feel like the kid of a bitter divorce where you’re just saying, ‘I wish mommy and daddy would stop screaming’,” Cruz said. It remains to be seen whether Trump and Musk can find a way to put aside their differences and work together for the good of the country.
