I Feel Like a Kid of a Bitter Divorce Wishing ‘Mommy and Daddy Would Stop Screaming’: Cruz on Trump vs Musk
The feud between US President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk has been making headlines for weeks. The two have been going back and forth on social media, with neither side giving an inch. But what’s it like to be a bystander in this high-stakes game of tit-for-tat? According to Republican Senator Ted Cruz, it’s like being the kid of a bitter divorce.
In an explosive interview, Cruz revealed how Trump reacted when Musk started posting against his decisions. “Trump was pissed. He was venting,” said Cruz, adding that he’s good friends with both Trump and Musk. Cruz, who has been a vocal supporter of Trump in the past, said he feels like the kid of a “bitter divorce where you’re just saying, ‘I wish mommy and daddy would stop screaming’.”
The feud between Trump and Musk started when Musk, who is a vocal critic of Trump’s environmental policies, tweeted that the President was “skeptical” of climate change. Trump, never one to back down from a fight, quickly responded by calling Musk a “bully” and “a terrible businessman.”
Since then, the two have been trading barbs on social media, with neither side showing any signs of backing down. But according to Cruz, Trump is taking the feud very seriously. “He’s really upset about it,” said Cruz. “He feels like Elon is trying to undermine him and his administration.”
Cruz, who has been a vocal critic of Musk’s in the past, said that he understands why Trump is so upset. “Elon is a very smart guy, he’s a very successful businessman, but he’s also a very arrogant guy,” said Cruz. “And when you’re that successful and that smart, it’s easy to get a little full of yourself.”
But despite his criticisms of Musk, Cruz said that he still considers himself a friend of the billionaire. “I’ve known Elon for a long time, and I think he’s a great guy,” said Cruz. “I just don’t agree with him on everything.”
The feud between Trump and Musk has also been seen as a sign of the growing tensions between the two men. Trump has been increasingly critical of Musk’s company, Tesla, and has even gone so far as to suggest that the company is a “disaster.” Musk has responded by calling Trump a “liar” and a “bully.”
Cruz said that he believes the feud is a sign of the growing divisions in the country. “I think we’re seeing a lot of divisions in this country right now, and I think this feud is just a symptom of that,” said Cruz. “We’re seeing a lot of people who are really upset with each other, and I think this feud is just one example of that.”
In conclusion, the feud between Trump and Musk is a sign of the growing divisions in the country. While both men have their own valid points, it’s clear that the feud is not going to be resolved anytime soon. As Cruz said, it’s like being the kid of a bitter divorce, where you’re just wishing that mommy and daddy would stop screaming.
