Trump & Elon Breakup: Billionaire Feud or Palantir Distraction Kayfabe? w/ Comedian Alex Stein (AKA Prime Time 99) – Ask Dr. Drew – Ep 492
Public fallout between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, heightened by Musk’s X post alleging Trump’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein, caused chaos in DC. But some pundits believe the feud is actually kayfabe – a wrestling term for a staged conflict.
Fake feuds are not unusual for Trump – even after speaking harshly about Megyn Kelly, the two are now friends again. Many believe this fight with Musk is designed to trick Democrats into demanding the release of Epstein files… or to distract Trump’s own supporters from his controversial alliance with Palantir and his Big Beautiful Bill. Are they playing 5D chess, or is the fallout a real battle between the world’s most powerful people? After Musk’s accusations, can they ever repair their friendship?
