In the grand theater of American power, where political ambition meets algorithm and an orange ego collides with encryption, we witness the most spectacular falling-out since Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak disagreed about garage ventilation. The Trump-Musk inevitable divorce proceedings have begun, and the tech world is scrambling to pick sides like middle schoolers during a cafeteria food fight—except the stakes involve nuclear codes and the fate of artificial intelligence.

What began as a beautiful bromance between the US president, Donald Trump, who tells truths on his own social network, Truth Social, like a caffeinated teenager and Elon Musk, a billionaire who names his children after Wi-Fi passwords has devolved into something resembling a Shakespearean tragedy, if Shakespeare had to deal with SEC filings and rocket launches. The fallout has sent shockwaves through Silicon Valley’s carefully constructed ecosystem of mutual back-scratching and strategic brown-nosing.
