Trump & Musk: Allies, Opportunists, or Frenemies?

Max Bennett and Lisa Vega dive into the tangled alliance between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, two titans whose political alignment serves both their interests. From Musk’s financial support of Trump’s campaign to amplifying his voice on Twitter (now X) and speculations about Musk snagging a government role, their partnership could reshape both politics and business. But there’s more beneath the surface—how will Musk’s Chinese business ties with Tesla hold up under Trump’s potential policy shifts? And as if that weren’t enough drama, we touch on a separate report of an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate Trump. Expect a sharp, irreverent, and darkly humorous dive into the high-stakes world of tech, politics, and international intrigue.
