Glowing in today’s GASlight is…
The Big Beautiful Billionaire Bro Breakup
It started as a billionaire bromance written in gold leaf and meme stock — Trump and Musk, two titans of self-promotion, circling each other like satellites made of ego and entitlement. But now? The bromance has crashed like a Tesla on Autopilot or a Treasury Bill after tariffs.

Why the fallout?
Not because of Trump’s authoritarianism.
Not because of the coup flirtation.
Not even because of the cult rallies with chainsaw patriotism.
No — Elon’s issue is that Trump’s big beautiful budget doesn’t go far enough.
Sure, he’s thrilled about the billionaire tax cuts. But he’s deeply troubled that it also increases the deficit without further slashing programs that help the poor, the sick, and the working class.
He wanted austerity for the many — not just golden parachutes for the few.
Trump wanted applause. Musk wanted data.
Now they want nothing to do with each other (until they need each other again).
Because when your bromance is based on ego, grift, and performative fake populism…
eventually one of you reads the fine print. And we wonder if one of them reads at all.
Satirically yours,
George
