Amul butters up the Donald Trump-Elon Musk online spat with special topical; netizen reacts: ‘Ye company band karake manega'
The ongoing spat between US President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk has been dominating global headlines, sparking a flurry of opinions, memes, and viral posts online. Naturally, Amul — known for its witty takes on trending topics — decided to join the fun with its signature humour.
Their latest topical features a cartoon of Trump sitting at his Oval Office desk at the White House, while Tesla CEO Musk stands beside him, arms folded, both wearing deadpan expressions. True to form, Amul's punchline is a clever play on words: 'What goes up Musk come down.' Beneath it, the tagline reads, 'Amul. The X Factor,' — a double entendre referencing both Musk's social media platform X and his aerospace venture SpaceX, both frequently mentioned amid the controversy.
Sharing the ad on social media, Amul captioned it: '#Amul Topical: President of USA and billionaire/Tesla owner have a feud!'

The post instantly took off, drawing thousands of reactions, comments, and shares. 'How can Amul be so creative in every post!! Just love the way you play with the words!' a fan wrote. Another added, 'I forgot that Duolingo, Red Bull n AMUL hav the craziest marketing… love that it hasn't gone to the woke class like Jaguar. Keep up the great work.'
Adding to the fun, one user joked, 'Elon didn't butter him well,' while someone else chimed in with, 'Ye company band krake manega (This company will get itself shut down).'
Amul has been on a roll lately. Not long ago, they paid tribute to Mission: Impossible with a hilarious post featuring Tom Cruise dangling from a helicopter — except, in true Amul style, he's nonchalantly holding a slice of buttered toast. The caption? 'Better Ethan the rest!' with a cheeky follow-up: 'Impossibly tasty.'
Clearly, when it comes to mixing current affairs with creamy puns, nobody does it like Amul.

China stocks end at nearly 3-week high as Sino-US trade truce sparks optimism
SHANGHAI, - China stocks climbed on Wednesday, touching their highest levels in nearly three weeks, lifted by optimism over progress in U.S.-China trade talks, although investors awaited further details on the framework agreed upon by the two countries. China's blue-chip CSI300 Index rose as much as 1.2% to its highest since May 23. Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng index climbed up to 1%, touching its strongest level since March 20. U.S. and Chinese officials said on Tuesday they had agreed on a framework to put their trade truce back on track and remove China's export restrictions on rare earths while offering little sign of a durable resolution to longstanding trade differences. "This is positive news to the market. At least now there's a bottom line that neither side is willing to cross," said Mark Dong, co-founder of Minority Asset Management. "Going forward, both sides will move toward reducing the trade imbalance." The two-day meeting in London followed a leader-to-leader phone call between U.S. President Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping last week after tensions between the countries flared, with each accusing the other of violating the Geneva deal. Zeng Wenkai, the chief investment officer at Shengqi Asset Management, said markets had likely expected the outcome. "People have realised that kneeling gets you nowhere — in fact, it only invites more bullying," Zeng said, adding that countries are now adopting a tougher stance in negotiations with the U.S. The CSI Rare Earth Index gained more than 3%, while China's semiconductor index fell 0.1%. "The details matter, especially around the degree of rare earths bound for the U.S., and the subsequent freedom for U.S.-produced chips to head East," said Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone. "But for now as long as the headlines of talks between the two parties remain constructive, risk assets should remain supported." By market close, the CSI 300 Index rose nearly 1%, the Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.5% and the Hang Seng Index added 0.8%. Tech majors traded in Hong Kong advanced 1.1%. Chinese stocks have struggled for direction since April 2, when Trump announced his sweeping reciprocal tariffs. The CSI300 Index has barely budged from the April 2 level, and the Hang Seng Index gained around 5% during the period, both lagging the recovery among major global markets. China's auto stocks climbed nearly 2% after several major automakers, including BYD, Chery and Geely, pledged to pay suppliers within 60 days.

Elon Musk says sorry: Five ways Donald Trump might react – from most to least likely
In a striking reversal, billionaire Elon Musk has walked back his recent attacks on US President Donald Trump, tweeting on Wednesday: 'I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week. They went too far.' The apology comes just days after Musk accused Trump of appearing in the sealed Epstein files, described his landmark legislation as 'an abomination,' and even floated JD Vance as a better presidential candidate. He had also expressed support for Trump's impeachment—before swiftly deleting the posts. The episode marks a rare climbdown for Musk, whose public persona has thrived on provocation. But whether Trump accepts the olive branch remains unclear. Trump's initial response was dismissive yet ambiguous. Asked at a White House press conference whether he would speak to Musk, Trump said: 'I haven't really thought about it… Maybe he's already called. You'd have to ask him. I'd have no problems with it.' The tone, while noncommittal, contrasts sharply with his past remarks, where he called Musk 'a man who has lost his mind', 'a big-time drug addict,' and someone who had 'gone CRAZY!' for criticising his EV mandates. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Trump also warned that Musk could lose government contracts if he backed Democrats. By week's end, the former president had offered what sounded like a final word: 'Wish Elon well.' In Trumpian lexicon, it's often a euphemism for political exile. Here are some possible reactions from Trump: 1. The Cold Shoulder: 'I don't think about Elon' Most Likely Trump's go-to move when crossed: pretend he's unbothered while subtly twisting the knife. He's already said, 'Wish Elon well,' and 'Maybe he's already called.' Expect more of this 'I'm too important to care' posture. 'I don't care about Elon. Never did. But he's been very disloyal. Sad!' 2. Mockery Mode: 'Elon's on drugs again' Highly Likely Having already branded Musk a 'big-time drug addict,' Trump won't resist the temptation to suggest the apology was ketamine-fuelled. It's cruel, personal, and exactly his style. 'Looks like Elon's dealer cut him off—now he's begging for forgiveness.' 3. Revenge with a Smile: 'He knows I'm winning' Very Possible Trump might treat the apology as an admission of defeat. In his world, apologies = weakness. Expect a victory lap on Truth Social. 'Even Elon knows who the real leader is. He wants back in. Not happening!' 4. The WWE Heel Turn: 'Elon's a loser, always was' Somewhat Likely If Trump feels Musk is still a threat—or if Musk dares to hedge his loyalties—expect a scorched-earth takedown, complete with Tesla jabs and X mockery. 'Tesla's collapsing. Twitter's a mess. Elon's a fraud—always was!' 5. Transactional Forgiveness: 'We'll see what he does next' Least Likely—for now While Trump is transactional, this usually comes after public humiliation. Unless Musk grovels publicly or pledges fealty to Trump 2024, forgiveness remains off the table. 'If he plays ball, maybe. But actions speak louder than weird tweets.' Bottom line: Trump doesn't forgive; he negotiates. And he never lets a billionaire apology go to waste without squeezing it for attention, dominance—or revenge.
