I Feel Like a Kid of a Bitter Divorce Wishing ‘Mommy & Daddy 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 exchanging barbs on social media, with Trump taking aim at Musk’s companies and Musk firing back with biting criticism. While many have been following the drama with great interest, one person who’s been in the thick of it all is Republican Senator Ted Cruz. In a recent interview, Cruz revealed what it’s like to be friends with both Trump and Musk, and how the President reacted when Musk started posting against his decisions.
Cruz, who has been a strong supporter of Trump’s policies, said that he’s known both men for years and has a good relationship with them. However, he admitted that the recent feud has been taking a toll on him. “I feel like the kid of a bitter divorce where you’re just saying, ‘I wish mommy and daddy would stop screaming,'” Cruz said in an interview.
According to Cruz, Trump was “pissed” when Musk started posting against his decisions. “He was venting,” Cruz said, adding that he’s tried to mediate the situation but it’s been difficult. “I’ve talked to both of them, and I’ve said, ‘Guys, this is getting out of hand. Can you please just calm down?’ But it’s hard to get them to stop.”
Cruz’s comments come as the feud between Trump and Musk continues to escalate. Last week, Trump tweeted that Musk was “a short and happy stock boy who doesn’t know much about cars” after Musk criticized the President’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement. Musk fired back, saying that Trump was “a disaster for the environment” and that his administration was “completely out of touch with reality.”
The feud has also taken a toll on the stock prices of both Tesla and SpaceX, Musk’s companies. Tesla’s stock price has dropped significantly in recent weeks, and SpaceX’s valuation has also taken a hit.
Despite the drama, Cruz remains optimistic that the situation can be resolved. “I think both of these guys are smart enough to figure out a way to get along,” he said. “They’re both winners, and they both want to win. But in the meantime, I just wish they would stop screaming at each other.”
Cruz’s comments have sparked a lot of debate online, with many people taking to social media to weigh in on the feud. Some have defended Trump, saying that he’s just trying to stand up for his country and his policies. Others have criticized Musk, saying that he’s just trying to stir up controversy for attention.
Regardless of where you stand on the issue, it’s clear that the feud between Trump and Musk has become a major distraction for both men. And while Cruz may be trying to mediate the situation, it’s clear that it’s going to take a lot more than just a good friend to get these two to calm down and stop screaming at each other.
