Trump vs Musk: Representative AOC takes humorous jab, says ‘girls are fighting’

No one was able to contain their glee over Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s feud, not even Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took a humorous jab at Trump-Musk’s ugly divorce. When questioned about the conflict between the US president and his former close associate, she responded: “Oh man, the girls are fighting, aren’t they.“She elaborated that the conflict between Trump and Musk was inevitable. “We’ve been seeing that these two huge egos were not longed for being together in this world as friends”‘ she stated. She further noted the potential legislative implications of their disagreement, as Musk continues to oppose the president’s spending bill and advocates for Trump’s impeachment.The former head of the Department of Government Efficiency and Tesla CEO has expressed concerns that the ‘big, beautiful bill’ would nullify his recent accomplishments. He predicted the president’s tariff strategy would trigger an economic downturn later this year, whilst also promoting an unfounded theory about Trump being replaced.The president has retaliated by threatening to terminate Musk’s government contracts, claiming he dismissed the DOGE leader. Their relationship deteriorated when Musk began opposing the spending bill, arguing it would eliminate DOGE’s cost-reduction initiatives.Trump addressed reporters regarding Musk’s recent criticisms, stating: ‘Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will any more, I was surprised.’ He suggested Musk’s dissatisfaction stemmed from the administration’s reduction of electric vehicle mandates, affecting Tesla, and the replacement of Musk’s preferred NASA leadership candidate, potentially impacting SpaceX’s contracts.The president explained his decision to withdraw Jared Isaacman’s NASA nomination, citing his Democratic affiliation. ‘We won, we get certain privileges and one of the privileges is we don’t have to appoint a Democrat,’ Trump explained. Musk’s response on X was succinct: ‘Whatever.’
