It’s not a breakup. It’s a full-blown digital war.
Once upon a tweet, Elon Musk and Donald Trump were pals—posting praise, sharing platforms, and backing each other up in the strangest bromance this side of politics. But that bromance? Over. Done. Roasted.
Now they’re digging up receipts from years ago and launching digital grenades across their platforms—Musk on X (formerly Twitter), and Trump on Truth Social. Yes, they each have their own social network, because of course they do.
So what’s this fight really about?
Trump’s latest jab? Accusing Musk of breaching federal contracts and being nothing more than a self-serving opportunist. Musk clapped back with a reminder that he reinstated Trump’s X account and expected at least a thank-you card. Then came the interviews, leaked emails, and snide comments—all making it clear: these two are not getting brunch anytime soon.
And why should Baja care?
Because Mexico, especially border regions like ours, could very well end up in the middle of this fallout.
Trump hinted (again) that under his leadership, companies that don’t invest inside U.S. borders shouldn’t expect favors. So what happens if Musk takes that personally? What if he turns his gaze to Baja, where land, talent, and cross-border logistics are ready for the taking?
Our region has long been a tempting option for clean energy, aerospace, and tech investment. If Musk is looking to break ties with U.S. institutions and flex his independence, Baja California could be more than just a pit stop—it could be a plan B.
Was Musk just campaign arm candy?
Let’s be honest. A lot of people now believe Musk was paraded around for political clout—just another shiny endorsement to rally Silicon Valley voters. But when the confetti cleared, there was no love lost. No thanks. No recognition. Just cold, hard business.
What happens next?
Will Musk retaliate with major moves outside U.S. soil? Will Baja benefit from the fallout of two billionaire egos colliding? Or will this drama just fade into the internet void?
One thing’s for sure: we’re watching. And we’re not judging—some of our readers here still have MAGA hats, others drive Teslas.
But while these two throw punches online, we’ll sit back, open a chilled glass of 80% Chenin Blanc
20% French Colombard (yes, Lola by Symmetría if you can find it), and enjoy the show.
Because if you’re going to watch the world’s richest man and one of its loudest ex-presidents duke it out, at least do it with a bit of Baja class.
