Revenge: Musk "Will Try to Harm Trump" — Claims Former Longtime Friend

[July 5, 2025 | Washington, D.C.]

In a surprising turn of events, a former close associate of Elon Musk claimed this week that the tech mogul is “intent on exacting revenge” on former U.S. President Donald Trump.

The anonymous source, who reportedly maintained a close personal and business relationship with Musk for over a decade, told The Atlantic that Musk has “not forgotten” past political slights and “will try to hurt Trump — not physically, but politically and publicly.”

The revelation comes amid growing tensions between Musk’s media platforms and several right-wing political groups, some of which have accused Musk of betraying the very ideals of free speech he once championed.

“He doesn’t take betrayal lightly,” the source added. “This isn’t about ideology anymore — it’s personal.”

Musk and Trump were once aligned on several issues, particularly during Trump’s presidency. However, their relationship has cooled significantly in recent years, especially after Musk publicly criticized Trump’s 2024 campaign strategies and endorsed alternative candidates.

The statement has triggered speculation in political circles and tech communities alike. Some see this as a sign that Musk may use his growing influence — through platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and other ventures — to shape political narratives against Trump.

As of now, Musk has made no public comment on the matter.
