Donald Trump is currently having a public meltdown after Elon Musk started criticizing Donald Trump's disastrous budget bill. And Donald Trump has just made a stunning admission, although an admission that we all knew to be the case, that Doge was all a fraud from the outset, a way to protect Elon Musk's

business interests. That's how Donald Trump is now attacking Elon Musk and threatening Elon Musk after Elon Musk came out strongly against the disastrous budget bill. Here's what Donald Trump posted moments ago as this war between Trump and Musk is really heating up. Trump writes,

The easiest way to save money in our budget, billions and billions of dollars, is to terminate Elon's governmental subsidies and contracts.

I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it. Hmm. Well, why didn't you do it, Donald, if that's what you thought was the right thing to do? Oh, wait, because he was running Doge? As Kyle Chenney posts, in one post, Donald Trump eviscerates the entire basis for Doge and amplifies the conflicts of interest Musk had as the head of the cost-cutting effort.

Donald Trump just made a stunning admission, an admission that may indeed be criminal as well. Shocking admission. Jonah Goldberg writes, Now Trump basically thinks the government has a trade deficit with Elon Musk and doesn't get anything in return for those contracts. It's kind of perfect. Then Donald Trump posted the following moments ago.

Elon was, quote, wearing thin. I asked him to leave. I took away his electric vehicle mandate, the EV mandate that forced everyone to buy electric cars that nobody else wanted, that he knew for months I was going to do. And he just went crazy, exclamation point.

Then Elon Musk responds to an account called Autism Capital, which wrote, Trump fires back at Elon. The online battle begins. Popcorn emoji. Elon Musk writes, such an obvious lie. So sad. And Elon Musk then makes the following threat. Seems like a bit of a threat. Oh, and some food for thought, Musk writes, as they ponder this question.

Trump has 3.5 years left as president, but I will be around for 40 plus years. Then Elon Musk posts, is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?

Then Elon Musk's baby mama, Ashley St. Clair, who's sued Elon Musk, she goes, hey, at real Donald Trump, let me know if you need any breakup advice.

Donald Trump attacks Elon Musk for forcing upon the Trump regime a guy by the name of Jared Isaacman to lead NASA because Isaacman had previously donated to Democrats before. So Elon Musk moments ago pointed out,

This is what Donald Trump said about Jared Isaacman back on December 4th of 2024. I'm delighted to nominate Jared Isaacman, Donald Trump wrote, an accomplished business leader, philanthropist, pilot and astronaut as administrator of NASA. Jared will drive NASA's mission of discovery and inspiration, paving the way for groundbreaking achievements in space, science, technology, technology.

and exploration. Over the past 25 years, as the founder and CEO of Shift4, Jared has demonstrated exceptional leadership, building a trailblazing global financial technology company. He also co-founded and served as CEO of Draken International, a defense aerospace company for over a decade, supporting the U.S. Department of Defense and our allies.

Jared's passion for space, astronaut experience, and dedication to pushing the boundaries of exploration, unlocking the mysteries of the universe, and advancing the new space economy make him ideally suited to lead NASA into a bold era.

Remember earlier today, Elon Musk posted the following. Without me, Trump would have lost the election. Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51 to 49 in the Senate. Such ingratitude.

And then moments ago, Elon Musk dropped a bomb. And he says, time to drop the really big bomb. Elon Musk posts, Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. This is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DR.

Elon Musk pointing out what we've been pointing out here on the Midas Touch Network over and over again. Trump is all over those files. And there is a massive Department of Justice cover up by Pam Bondi and Kash Patel and others to hide the Epstein files to protect Donald Trump. Elon Musk putting it in a post as this civil war between the two escalates.

Let's be honest, coffee isn't just a drink, it's survival. It's how I shift from half-asleep zombie to fully functioning human being, and for me, that starts with trade. Listen, you all know I take my coffee very seriously. Trade is the number one U.S. coffee destination, working with over 50 of the best roasters around the country to deliver insanely fresh coffee matched to your taste.

Their team has tried thousands of roasts to narrow it down to over 450 incredible options, and somehow the first quiz I took nailed my preferences perfectly. I am loving the latest roast I received, a citrusy Ethiopian roast from Temple Coffee in Sacramento. It has notes of tangerine, mango, and stone fruit, and a smooth, rich Colombian blend from

good Citizen Roasters in Nashville. Every bag arrives fresh, smells amazing, and the quality just blows grocery store coffee out of the water. And the best part, I never run out. I spend less than I did at cafes for better coffee, and I'm supporting local roasters. Total win.

Right now, Trade is exclusively offering our listeners 50% off your one-month trial at drinktrade.com slash Midas. That's drinktrade, T-R-A-D-E, .com slash M-E-I-D-A-S for 50% off your one-month trial. drinktrade.com slash Midas. Go back to February 14th, 2025.

Remember when Hannity interviewed Trump and Musk, who were sitting together during the bromance period where Donald Trump said, Elon called me and said, they're trying to drive us apart. They're trying to drive us apart. We would never let that happen. Here, play this clip. They tried it, then they stopped. They have many different things of hatred. Actually,

Elon called me. He said, you know, they're trying to drive us apart. I said, absolutely. No, they said, we have breaking news. Donald Trump has ceded control of the presidency to Elon Musk. President Musk will be attending a cabinet meeting tonight at eight o'clock. And I say, it's just so obvious. They're so bad at it. I used to think they were good at it. They're actually bad at it because if they were good at it, I'd never be president.

Because I think nobody in history has ever gotten more bad publicity than me. I could do the greatest things. I get 98% bad publicity. I could do outside of you and a few of your very good friends. It's like the craziest thing. But you know what I have learned, Elon? The people are smart. They get it. Yeah, they do. They get it. They really see what's happening. Yes.

Now, as we previously reported, Elon Musk stopped following Donald Trump's top advisor, Stephen Miller.

Elon Musk previously hired Stephen Miller's wife to work with Musk. No word on if Miller's wife is still going to be working with Musk, but Miller's wife left working with Miller and Trump to work with Musk. Many rumors were taking place online about that move. Elon Musk also unfollowed the ultra-MAGA right-wing influencer guy Charlie Kirk,

that was a, something that went down as well.

Elon Musk responded to Donald Trump's statement in the Oval Office during that disastrous press conference with Friedrich Mars, the chancellor of Germany, where Trump goes, I'm very disappointed with Elon. I've helped him a lot. He knew the inner workings of the bill better than anybody. I'll play that clip in just a moment. But Elon responds, false. This bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it.

Here's what Trump said in the Oval Office. Play the clip. But if they picked him, I would have won Pennsylvania. I want to buy a lot. But I'm very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here, better than you people. He knew everything about it. He had no problem with it. All of a sudden he had a problem and he only developed the problem when he found out that we're going to have to cut the EV mandate because that's billions and billions of dollars. And it really is unfair. We want to have

cars of all types, electric, we want to have electric, but we want to have a gasoline combustion, we want to have different, we want to have hybrids, we want to have all, we want to be able to sell everything. And when that was cut, and Congress wanted to cut it, it became a little bit different. And I can understand that. But he knew every aspect of this bill, he knew it better than almost anybody. And he never had a problem until

Right after he left. And if you saw the statements he made about me, which I'm sure you can get very easily, it's very fresh on tape. He said the most beautiful things about me. And he hasn't said bad about me personally, but I'm sure that'll be next. But I'm very disappointed in Elon. I've helped Elon a lot.

I just want to clarify, did he raise any of these concerns with you privately before he raised them publicly? To which Elon Musk responded, whatever. Keep the EV solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil and gas subsidies are touched.

Very unfair, but ditch the mountain of disgusting pork in the bill. In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that is both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this. Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim, beautiful bill. Slim and beautiful is the way.

Remember when Donald Trump was asked, this was less than a week ago, were you aware of Elon Musk using drugs like ketamine and mushrooms during his time at Doge? Trump said, no, he's fantastic. I'm not troubled by anything that he does. Play this clip.

I like this man. Were you aware of Elon Musk's regular drug use? No, I wasn't. I think he's fantastic. I think Elon is a fantastic guy. And I'm not troubled by anything with Elon. I think he's fantastic. Did a great job. And, you know, Doge continues. And by the time it's finished, we'll have numbers that will

Knock your socks off. It's going to be he did a fantastic job and he didn't need it. He didn't need to do it.

You will also recall during the last cabinet meeting or maybe the cabinet meeting before the last cabinet meeting, a despicable one that is, Elon Musk was wearing a double hat. He was wearing two Trump hats on top of each other during the cabinet meeting at the White House. And Trump said how much he loves the double hat. Here, play this clip. Thank you very much.

Elon, I love the double hat, bud. He's the only one that can do that. You gotta wear it with him. Well, Mr. President, you know, they say I wear a lot of hats. That's true. Even my hat has a hat. And now this was from earlier today when Donald Trump cited as a reason why Elon Musk must support the budget bill and everything Donald Trump does. Trump says, Elon Musk wore the hat.

Once you wear the hat, there's no going back. You understand? You wear the hat, you can't disagree with Trump. That's it. Here's what Trump says. - Look, Elon and I had a great relationship.

I don't know if we will anymore. I was surprised because you were here. Everybody in this room practically was here as we had a wonderful send off. He said wonderful things about me. You couldn't have nicer said the best thing. He's worn the hat. Trump was right about everything. And I am right about the great, big, beautiful bill. We call it a great, big, beautiful bill because that's what it is.

And again, biggest tax cuts in history, biggest economic development moves anywhere. We've never done anything like it. Business is spurred. And I don't know if you've seen the numbers, but the numbers. Well, we'll keep you updated on more of this civil war that is rocking Washington, D.C. and frankly, the entire country. A civil war between MAGA factions right now. We'll keep you posted every step of the way.
