Much of the The right -wing media ecosystem seemed insecure how to react to apparent as public implosion of the relationship between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk on Thursday and Friday morning. Points and influentials that normally react wildly against Trump criticism played more or less in the middle. Even much of the criticism of Musk was relatively gentle.
“You have to let Trump be Trump,” said Fox News’s old host, Eric Bolling, on Steve Bannon’s broadcasting network, the voice of Real America. “You can be first brother,” said Musk, “but you can’t be a de facto president.”
Behind the scenarios, they say that Republican operators could not help but to entertain -with the message of messages that flood their group chats. They tended to take Trump’s side.
A Trumpworld consultant tells Wired reporton how Trump had described Musk privately as “50% genius, 50% child.”
“After today,” says the consultant, “I think it’s just 100% stupid.” (Musk did not respond immediately to a comment request.)
While Musk had been fighting the republican budget reconciliation package formally known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act for several days in X, Things became ugly Once Trump denounced the billionaire during an appearance of the Oval Office on Thursday with the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. “Elon and I had a great relationship,” said Trump. “I don’t know if we’ll do it.” Later, Musk coincided with an X user who requested the arrest of the President.
However, some presented the conflict as a positive thing, even as they asked to end.
“I think the most fantastic of this is that we all see it,” said Fox News Host Greg Gutfeld. “Would you have a forceful president and a billionaire that you make publicly in public about an invalid president? … At least I know what happens, and I can enjoy -a little bit, but I want them to stop. I have had it. I don’t want to see my parents fighting.”
On Friday morning, Fox & Friends Cohost Brian Kilmeade hoped to end the animosity, which suggests that there could be a “big and beautiful truce”.
Although many of the larger Trump coalition seemed to be hesitant to commit themselves to one side or the other, this was not true for everyone, because on night night, the Grollera Pals on Thursday afternoon. After Musk published “@realdonald Trump is in the Epstein files. This is the real reason they have not been made public”, some Maga’s loyalty were shocked. Alex Jones, however, the presenter of the Radio on the right and the conspiracy theorist Responsible in a predetermined manner–write That Trump “has to answer as soon as possible.”
One of the most prominent accounts of the Maga-Vers, Catturd, then went after Jones. “What turned out to be Alex Jones: What fucking fraud” He tweeted. (Jones did not respond immediately to a comment request sent to infowars.)
