I Feel Like the Kid of a Bitter Divorce: Cruz on Trump vs Musk
The feud between US President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk has been making headlines for quite some time now. The two have been trading barbs on social media, with Trump labeling Musk as a “bully” and Musk accusing Trump of being a “bully” himself. Amidst all this drama, Republican Senator Ted Cruz has now revealed how Trump reacted when Musk started posting against his decisions. In an explosive interview, Cruz said that he’s good friends with both Trump and Musk, and he feels like the kid of a “bitter divorce where you’re just saying, ‘I wish mommy and daddy would stop screaming’.”
The interview, which was published in a major news outlet, provides a rare glimpse into the inner workings of the Trump administration and the personalities involved. Cruz, who has been a vocal supporter of Trump in the past, said that he’s witnessed the president’s reaction firsthand when Musk started criticizing him on social media.
“Trump was pissed. He was venting,” Cruz said, describing Trump’s reaction to Musk’s tweets. “He’s a guy who’s very passionate, very intense, and very emotional. And when he gets upset, he gets upset big time.”
Cruz’s comments are significant because they come from someone who has been close to both Trump and Musk. As a Senator, Cruz has been a vocal supporter of Trump’s policies, and he has also been friends with Musk for many years. Cruz has even tweeted about his friendship with Musk in the past, calling him a “friend” and praising his entrepreneurial spirit.
However, Cruz’s comments also highlight the intense rivalry between Trump and Musk. The two have been sniping at each other on social media for months now, with Trump accusing Musk of being a “bully” and Musk accusing Trump of being a “bully” himself. The feud has been fueled by a series of tweets, with both sides trading barbs and insults.
Despite the intense rivalry, Cruz says that he’s tried to stay out of the fray. As a Senator, Cruz has a role to play in shaping policy and working with his colleagues across the aisle. He doesn’t want to get drawn into the mudslinging and name-calling that has characterized the feud between Trump and Musk.
“I’m not going to get into the mudslinging and the name-calling,” Cruz said. “I’m going to stay focused on the issues that matter to the American people. That’s what I’m going to do.”
But despite Cruz’s efforts to stay out of the fray, his comments about Trump’s reaction to Musk’s tweets have sparked a lot of interest. The interview has been widely shared on social media, and many are praising Cruz for speaking truth to power.
Some are also criticizing Cruz for not taking a stronger stance against Trump’s behavior. After all, Trump’s behavior has been widely criticized by many, including some of his former advisors. Cruz’s comments about Trump’s reaction to Musk’s tweets may be seen as a defense of the president’s behavior, rather than a criticism of it.
Regardless of how one interprets Cruz’s comments, it’s clear that the feud between Trump and Musk is not going away anytime soon. The two have too much at stake, and their rivalry is fueled by too many factors. For now, it seems like we’ll just have to sit back and watch as the drama unfolds.
