Washington, D.C., USA - The relationship between US President Donald Trump and Tech billionaire Elon Musk has reached a significant low. After intensive reports, it turns out that the former friendship between men has broken between the two. This development could have political implications for Trump, especially in view of the statements of politics expert Cathryn Clüver Ashbrook, who warns that the dynamics between Trump and Musk could be problematic for his second term. These tensions have also overshadowed the recent visit to the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Washington, where he had important discussions about the support of Ukraine.

The conflict between Trump and Musk could not only influence domestic politics, but also the United States foreign policy. In talks with Trump, Merz made it clear that Russia is the aggressor in the Ukraine conflict and violates the Geneva conventions. He also supported the EU Commission in Customs Policy to prevent the EU's division from the United States. In this tense political situation, the relationship between Trump and Musk could have far -reaching consequences.

donations and threats

In the past, Musk Trump supported $ 270 million for his election campaign. But the current gap between the two could cause Musk to found a third party. Clüver Ashbrook warns that the dependencies between Musk and Trump, especially with regard to space policy, are a worrying development. Trump has already indicated that he could stop orders for Musk's company SpaceX, which is a serious warning signal.

The tensions between the two personalities culminated in Musk’s recent criticism of an extensive spending package of the congress, which he described as "blatant hideousness". This public dispute could lead to Musk re -evaluating its influence in politics, while Trump in turn emphasizes the support of the National Fraternal Order of Police to advance a new law on tax relief.

The context of the super rich

The relationship between Trump and Musk reflects a broader topic: the political influence of super rich. According to a report on the effects of billionaires on politics, many of these wealthy are actively involved in legislation. Empirical data show that 11% of the over 2,000 billionaires listed by Forbes have sought a political office or held, with many of them representing rights or right -wing extremists.

An investigation by sociologist Andreas Kemper shows that billionaires can have a significant impact on politics through donations and media campaigns. Musk also had political influence last year, for example in relation to the AfD in the election campaign. These developments raise questions about the trustworthiness and the integrity of political processes in the United States, especially with regard to the corruption dynamics, which seems to result from Trump's second term.
