Victor Davis Hanson: “Only the Left Wins When Elon Turns on Trump”

What happens when the two most disruptive forces in modern America turn on each other? Victor Davis Hanson breaks down the high-stakes fallout of the Musk–Trump rift—and why it’s a gift-wrapped win for the Left.

Elon Musk, once the billionaire backbone of Trump’s digital and political rise, is now openly attacking the very movement he helped electrify. From fiery tweets to whispers of a third party, Musk’s rebellion isn't just personal—it's strategic. But according to Hanson, it's also self-destructive.

Behind the drama: power struggles over budget battles, tax cuts, and who really drives the post-Biden recovery. Musk called it a “bad bill.” Trump called Musk’s loyalty into question. And in the background, the media—who once begged Musk to flip on Trump—are watching gleefully.
