Ex-Trump Lawyer Sent This Message To Elon Musk After Feud With Donald Trump Erupted
"After tensions exploded between Trump and Elon Musk, a former Trump attorney reached out to Musk with a telling message — raising eyebrows across political circles."
In the midst of a public feud with President Donald Trump, Tesla CEO Elon Musk received an unexpected offer of support from Michael Cohen, Trump’s former personal attorney.
Bottom line: Cohen contacted Musk last month following a series of heated exchanges between the Tesla CEO and President Trump on social media.
Musk, a former staunch Trump supporter and former director of the Department of Government Efficiency, publicly denounced Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill.
Musk’s criticisms of Trump, including his allegations of the president’s involvement in the Epstein files and his assertion that Republicans would not have won the 2024 election without his support, could have profound repercussions for the tech industry, business, and American politics, given the considerable influence of Trump and Elon Musk.
Cohen, who had a public feud with Trump and served time in prison on various charges, has since become one of the president’s most outspoken critics.
He contacted Musk via X, sending him the following message: “@elonmusk I told you this would happen. If you want to know how to fight political guerrilla warfare, DM me! Otherwise, you lose.”
In a subsequent Substack post, Cohen warned Musk that Trump “has the full support of the federal government” and that Musk “made a terrible mistake thinking he was untouchable.”
“Let me be clear: no one—not Bannon, not Jared, not Rudy, not me, and certainly not Elon—has ever been more important to Trump than him. ‘Friendship’ is never about you. It’s about what he can take from you. Your loyalty. Your power. Your credibility. Your money. And when this is over, it won’t just be over; it’s over.” “It will be scorched earth,” he wrote on Substack.
The public feud between Musk and Trump is not just a personal one. It is likely to have an impact on the tech sector and businesses in general, given the considerable influence they both wield.
Cohen’s offer to help Musk navigate this complex political landscape could signal a shift in alliances and power dynamics, with potential implications for future political and business developments.
