The Doge monster that Musk bred may soon be set on him as his fallout with Trump unfolds

​The gift that keeps on giving that is tech billionaire Elon Musk continued to “entertain” the masses around the globe this week. And now following the passing of his former bestie’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” – central to the end of his bromance with US President Donald Trump – things are bound to get more interesting.

What’s more, the American gubernatorial and state elections season is around the corner.

One social media user joked that the two billionaires should grow up and stop arguing “nonstop over the smallest things – and the whole world ends up knowing about it”. But the “smallest things” are also “big, beautiful” and expensive – or “insane” – things with a potential to disrupt the already chaotic American politics and global trade.

The very public and nasty feuding between the two previously inseparable "best friends forever" may be providing us all with free entertainment, but we must remember that it’s the grass that suffers when elephants fight.

Unfortunately, all we can do is watch this soap opera whose most recent episodes involved Musk threatening to start a national political party to rival the Democrat-Republican “uniparty” while Trump cautioned that he could set the Doge “monster” on him and his electric car company.

"Doge is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon," Trump said in a social media post.​

I can’t wait for that episode of this free reality show a social media user likened to a daily streaming of “How Billionaires Argue”. But what would be ​more interesting for us stuck in beautiful but boring Mzansi would be to see our prodigal son deported back home. ​And that is not beyond Trump.

The two billionaires are neck-and-neck at the moment. Trump is still ruling the roost from the White House, while Musk seems to be playing his political cards well, using some valuable experience gained while supporting his old friend to the tune of over $200bn in last year’s election race. But starting a new political party is not child's play, even for billionaires.

Bu​t expect some more terrible, horrible things to follow between these two in the coming days and months. Let’s all just watch this tragicomedy – from a safe distance.
