Musk To Mattis: How Trump's List Of 'Derangement Syndrome' Critics Keeps Growing
Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. Trump accused Musk of "Trump derangement syndrome" after previously praising him. This follows critiques from former aides who labelled Trump as divisive and authoritarian. Many Republicans now oppose him, highlighting a significant rift within his own party. US President Donald Trump said that billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk was suffering from 'Trump derangement syndrome', just days after praising and celebrating him in the Oval Office as a farewell. He even gifted him a golden key as a gift which he reserves for 'very special people'. Trump cited Musk's opposition to the Republican agenda and said that he is 'not the first', which might suggest that he is aware that people who had been once close aides have become 'hostile', as he says. He added, 'I don't know what it is.' The president also said at the Oval Office on Thursday, "He (Elon Musk) hasn't said bad things about me personally, but I'm sure that will be next.' In Urban Dictionary, it has been defined as a "mental condition" wherein a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of the US President "to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason.' According to a July 2018 report by CNN, Trump Derangement Syndrome goes back to the early 2000s when the idea of having Trump as US President was a "punch line for late-night comics". Members of a presidential team work closely together, and even more closely with the president. Many officials who have witnessed his leadership style up close, have all been part of this club. John Kelly Kelly was the retired Marine general who was Trump's former chief of staff. He said that the latter fits 'into the general definition of fascist', he also said that the president spoke about the loyalty of Hitler's Nazi generals. He also told the New York Times that Trump 'certainly prefers the dictator approach to government.' Kelly told the Times that Trump 'never accepted the fact that he wasn't the most powerful man in the world — and by power, I mean an ability to do anything he wanted, anytime he wanted.' In response to criticisms from Kelly, Trump wrote on his social media platform, 'Thank you for your support against a total degenerate named John Kelly, who made up a story out of pure Trump Derangement Syndrome Hatred! This guy had two qualities, which don't work well together. He was tough and dumb.' Mark Esper Esper served as the Secretary of Defence for Trump for only 18 months. He said that the president wanted to use the military in ways he thought was inappropriate and they often clashed. Finally, Trump fired Esper in November 2020. He also made a shocking revelation that Trump inquired about shooting people who took part in the protest after George Floyd's murder in 2020. "We need leaders of integrity and character, and we need leaders who will bring people together and reach across the aisle and do what's best for the country. And Donald Trump doesn't meet the mark for me on any of those issues', he said, per NPR. Donald Trump has said that he did not want recommendations for staff associated with some of his political enemies. 'In order to save time, money, and effort, it would be helpful if you would not send, or recommend to us, people who worked with, or are endorsed by, Americans for No Prosperity (headed by Charles Koch), 'Dumb as a Rock' John Bolton, 'Birdbrain' Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, disloyal Warmongers Dick Cheney, and his Psycho daughter, Liz, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, General(?) Mark Milley, James Mattis, Mark Yesper, or any of the other people suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, more commonly known as TDS,' Trump posted on Truth Social. Mark Milley Pete Hegseth, US Defence Secretary, had revoked the personal security detail and security clearance for Mark Milley in one of his first acts in the job, according to Reuters. Milley was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for Trump. He, too, said that Trump was 'fascist to the core' in 'War', a book by journalist Bob Woodward. In his 2023 farewell speech, he said that the military does not swear allegiance to a "wannabe dictator", referring to Trump. James Mattis Retired Marine Corps Gen. James Mattis served as President Trump's first defence secretary. 'Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us,' Mattis said in a statement obtained by CNN. 'We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership', he added. Mattis criticised the president after long refusing to do it. His remarks are one of the strongest to date by a former Pentagon leader. Mike Pence Pence, Trump's former Vice President, has now become a prominent Republican critic. 'I've never been a fan of American presidents criticizing America on foreign soil,' he said on NBC. 'And particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia, where 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers hailed from, not including Osama bin Laden, I thought was unfortunate,' he continued. Stephanie Grisham Trump's former White House press secretary condemned Trump after working with him and also urged the public to vote against him at the Democratic National Convention. "I saw him when the cameras were off, behind closed doors. Trump mocks his supporters. He calls them basement dwellers," she said, adding that he had "no morals and no fidelity to the truth". She was one of the few Republicans to address a Democratic gathering. 'I never thought I'd be speaking at a Democratic convention,' Grisham stated. 'But, after seeing firsthand who Donald Trump really is, and the threat he poses to our country, I feel very strongly about speaking out.' Replying to Grisham's statement, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said in an email, 'Stephanie Grisham is a stone-cold loser who clearly suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome and many other mental issues'. Moreover, there are other Republicans too who have left Trump's side or criticise him, whom the latter has labelled 'disloyal', such as Mitch McConnell, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski and Rand Paul. Trump had called them "extremely difficult" and wrote "Why are they allowing Fentanyl to pour into our Country unchecked, and without penalty. What is wrong with them, other than suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, commonly known as TDS?" in aTruth Social post. Now Musk has unexpectedly joined them. The opposition that Trump has faced from members from his own team is unprecedented in the history of America.

Tesla shares gain after $152 billion selloff, but Trump-Musk truce uncertain
Tesla shares recouped some losses that had been triggered by a spat between CEO Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump, even though a truce appeared uncertain on Friday as a White House official said the president was not keen on talking to his former ally. The stock rose nearly 4 per cent after a steep fall in the previous session, that wiped out $152 billion in market value, when the world's most powerful man and its richest publicly entered a war of words over the tax and spending bill. Earlier, a Politico report had said Trump and Musk were likely to talk later in the day. Musk had signalled on X he was open to easing tensions with the president, agreeing with calls for a detente from users on the social media platform. But Trump told CNN on Friday, "I'm not even thinking about Elon," adding the billionaire has "got a problem". Tensions escalated on Thursday after Musk stepped up his criticism of Trump's sweeping tax bill, which proposed largely ending the popular $7,500 EV tax incentive by the end of 2025. In response, Trump suggested cuts to the government's contracts with Musk's companies, including rocket maker SpaceX. "It might be a bit too hopeful to think their relationship will ever go back to what it once was, but if cooler heads prevail and the tension eases, that would definitely be a big improvement for Tesla," said Tesla shareholder Matthew Britzman, who is an analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown. Lofty stock valuation An open clash with Trump could pose multiple hurdles for Tesla and the rest of Musk's sprawling business empire. The US Transportation Department regulates vehicle design standards and would have a big say in whether Tesla can mass-produce robotaxis without pedals and steering wheels. Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Tesla stock is down 26.9 per cent this year following a 14 per cent drop on Thursday. Still, the shares trade at 120 times expected earnings, a lofty multiple compared to other automakers and even tech giants such as Nvidia. The shares have been on a turbulent ride since last July when Musk backed Trump's White House bid. They surged initially as investors bet on less regulatory pressure for robotaxis, but tumbled due to soft sales and brand fallout from Musk's political stance. Stronger sales from potential Republican customers were expected to offset a liberal boycott, but analysts warned that Musk's recent actions may erode that buffer too. "With Musk alienating Republicans, there is no one left to prop up consumer sentiment towards Tesla, which could lead towards a full-scale collapse in brand perception," said political strategist Evan Roth Smith, co-founder of Slingshot Strategies.

US Brotherhood Ices Over After MAGA Meltdown
US President Donald Trump is not interested in talking with Elon Musk, a White House official said on Friday, signalling that the president and his former ally might not resolve their feud over a sweeping tax-cut bill any time soon. Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads US President Donald Trump is not interested in talking with Elon Musk , a White House official said on Friday, signalling that the president and his former ally might not resolve their feud over a sweeping tax-cut bill any time simultaneously burning bridges with both his customers and now the political movement he funded and amplified for months, Musk now faces a rare convergence of threats — collapsing brand loyalty, shaky revenues, and mounting legal and regulatory risk. Tesla shares on Friday managed to claw back some steep losses from the previous session, when they fell 14% and lost $150 billion in value, the largest single-day decline in the company's interviews with several US media outlets, Trump said he was focused on other matters. 'I'm not even thinking about Elon. He's got a problem, the poor guy's got a problem," he told CNN. This, after Musk backed off the threat of decommissioning SpaceX 's Dragon spacecraft, and wrote, 'You're not wrong,' in response to billionaire investor Bill Ackman saying the duo should make may get rid of the red Tesla Model S that he bought in March after showcasing Musk's electric cars, a White House official said. Musk did not directly address Trump but kept up his criticism of the massive Republican tax and spending bill that contains much of Trump's domestic X, Musk amplified remarks made by others that Trump's "big beautiful bill" would hurt Republicans politically and add to the nation's $36.2 trillion debt. He replied "exactly" to a post by another X user that said Musk had criticized Congress and Trump had responded by criticizing Musk Republicans are siding with Trump, an optimistic sign for eventual passage of a tax cut bill at the root of the two billionaires' public White House statements came one day after the two men battled openly in an extraordinary display of hostilities that marked a stark end to a close the exchange, Trump suggested he would terminate government contracts with Musk's businesses, which include rocket company SpaceX and its satellite unit high-profile allies have largely stayed silent during the feud. But one, investor James Fishback, called on Musk to apologize. "President Trump has shown grace and patience at a time when Elon's behavior is disappointing and frankly downright disturbing," Fishback said in a statement.'Elon isn't functioning to the benefit of his shareholders,' said Ross Gerber, chief executive of Tesla shareholder Gerber Kawasaki, which has been reducing its Tesla holdings over the last few years. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he has been texting with Musk and hopes the dispute is resolved had initially stayed quiet, but broke his silence on Thursday, telling reporters he was "very disappointed" in Musk.
