How Elon Musk Created a Nightmare for Donald Trump

On June 5, Elon Musk did something that no one has been able to do since Donald Trump stormed the political stage in 2015: He has destabilized the great king of America again (Maga).

I started with a bomb post that was now deleted on X (previously Twitter). “It is time to really drop the large bomb. Donald Trump is in Epstein’s files,” Musk wrote. “This is the real reason for not announcing them. I wish you a happy day.”

The virus was gone before removing the musk quietly. But the damage was done. For the first time, Trump was facing a dangerous rebellion from his own base, and the spark came from a person outside politics, and it can be said that someone is more powerful online: Musk.

Calculated musk strike

The collapse began in the Trump alliance -your mosa publicly on June 5, when the former president, who was angered by Mossk, indicated that the government had decreased federal contracts granted to Musk companies, especially NASA deals with Spacex. On the same day, Tesla shares decreased, threw $ 150 billion in market value.

But what no one greatly noticed in the beginning is the MUSK decision to withdraw Trump to the most dreamy and most active conspiracy theory in the Maga: Jeffrey Epstein.

For years, Trump’s supporters clung to the belief that Epstein, the sexual criminals who are convicted with elites in politics, financing and kings, were killed to protect powerful Democrats. The so -called “Epstein files” has become a massive cry for those who believe that the system protects children who are punished for the truth.

Until I ignited the flame, the interest in the files has faded. The issuance of the “Stage 1” document in early 2024 failed to involve the main democratic figures, leaving the Maga base disappointed. Then the musk threw a hand grenade.

Feed the fire with Grook

In a series of follow -up publications on July 17, Musk Grok, the Chatbot Chatbot, asked his X platform to create a list of people who visited the reputable Epstein Island because, according to him, “it must be investigated for potential rape of underage girls presented by Epstein.” “Think hard and search completely. Ask the potential intensity and the frequency of their crimes.”

Please present a comprehensive list of all those who must be investigated by possible rape of underage girls from Epstein.

Think hard and search carefully. It is done through possible severity and the frequency of their crimes.

It was a direct appeal to the Maga emotional instincts: fear, anger and the desire for revenge. But this time, Trump’s Crusader is no longer against the elite. He was being thrown as part of it.

Trump’s losing fist

Trump tried to reject the accusations, described them as a “stupid trick”, and urged his followers to move forward. But many of them refused. “Trump was partially elected in 2016 a pledge to” be imprisoned “. Screaming on us to stop talking about Epstein makes us talk about it more.”

On the Internet, snow reaction. Users mocked Trump’s deviations – political ads and simple grievances – while calling for transparency. The #releasetheeepsteinfiles retailer exploded again.

Anger intensified after the Ministry of Justice (Doj) fired Federal Prosecutor Mourin Kumi, who reopened parts of Epsin. For many, there was another evidence that Trump was protecting someone, or himself.

The perfect strike

Musk select the only thing that the Trump base – Epstein – and use it to shake their loyalty.

A decade ago, Trump had planted a movement based on conspiracy, suspicion and moral anger. The heart of the text. The effect was immediate. Some believed that the CEO of Tesla and the founder of Spacex was playing with fire. Spacex relies heavily on federal contracts, and Trump explains that revenge was on the table. But after six weeks, Musk returned to work, and Trump is still trying to put out the fire.

Musk penetrated the Maga Shield. Using the moral language against its founder. He created a rift at the Trump base that cannot be penetrated. It was a strategic blow.

For the first time since 2016, Donald Trump does not set the agenda. He interacts with someone else. It is a remote control of the control system.

Musk 1. Trump 0.
