In recent days, a notable clash has emerged between two of the most influential figures in the world, each representing their dominant sectors. On one side is former U.S. President Donald Trump, and on the other, tech magnate Elon Musk. What began as a promising and visionary relationship has deteriorated into mutual accusations. The turning point came when Trump warmly bid farewell to Musk after the latter left his advisory role in the administration. However, tensions rose when Musk publicly criticized new tariff policies affecting the automotive industry, leading to a fallout with Trump. This feud has reportedly caused Tesla’s stock to plummet between 14% and 17%, resulting in significant financial losses. The situation highlights the risks of underestimating political power, as Musk’s actions have cost him the trust and support of a key ally. Meanwhile, Mexican business magnate Carlos Slim offers a lesson in navigating political landscapes, having maintained influence through various administrations. Musk’s experience underscores the enduring strength of political power over economic influence.
