Future conflicts are unavoidable! The alliance between Trump and Ma may not last long, will Musk and Trump eventually break up?

Preface

On the power chessboard on both sides of the Atlantic, two names are redefining the rules: Trump and Musk.

Trump is the spokesman of populism, who incites supporters with simple and direct slogans, aiming to 'make America great again' and attempting to reshape the splendor of the American dream. On the other hand, Musk is completely different. He is the tech guru of Silicon Valley, believing in the future, technology, and the vast universe. He considers traditional politics to be outdated tools, while information and technology are the core of power.

The encounter of these two people is destined to be a collision of power and faith.

A country that wants to pull the United States back to the past and turn it into a nation isolated on the mountaintop;

An attempt to establish a brand new global power system through information technology.

This conflict was planted in the Capitol Hill incident in 2021 and has been fermenting in the following years, eventually leading the United States towards an invisible 'information revolution'.

Act One: The Spark of the Capitol Hill Incident

On the morning of January 6, 2021, Washington was shrouded in a heavy gray mist, and an uneasy feeling permeated the cold air.

In front of the Capitol, thousands of Trump supporters wearing red MAGA hats gathered, holding signs that read "Election Fraud" and "Reelection", shouting slogans. Their anger and resentment seemed to be on the verge of destroying the building. The crowd's fury continued to rise, even the police on the scene felt threatened.

At Mar-a-Lago in Florida, Trump sat in his lavishly decorated private dining room, where the protest was being broadcast on TV. A complex smile hung on his face, seeming both satisfied and faintly uneasy. He took a bite of his McDonald's hamburger and said to his assistant, 'Look at these people, they love America, they know the truth.'

However, his supporters were not satisfied with mere demonstrations. They began to break through the police line and forcefully push down metal fences. The sound of shattering glass and the shouts of protesters intertwined, becoming the main theme of Washington that day. A few minutes later, groups of protesters stormed the Capitol building, smashing windows, overturning tables and chairs, and even entering the conference rooms to take selfies of their 'victory moments' with their phones.

All of this was broadcasted live and spread around the world.

On the other side of the earth, in a conference room of the Shanghai Super Factory, Musk is sitting in the main seat. In front of him is a report on Tesla's production capacity, but his gaze falls on the iPad screen handed over by his assistant - CNN is broadcasting the Capitol Hill incident live. His brow furrowed, his eyes showing a complex expression that is almost admiring. He whispered, 'This is not an ordinary protest, it is a force that can change history.'

On this day, the chaos on Capitol Hill became the focus of global media attention. For Trump, it was his counterattack after losing the election; for Musk, it was a public lesson on the power of populism.

Act Two: Trump's Decline and Musk's Ambition

The aftermath of the Capitol Hill incident quickly spread. The Democratic Party and the mainstream media joined forces to launch a comprehensive accountability campaign against Trump.

"Liquidate Trump" has become the main theme of 2021:

Account Suspension

Twitter, Facebook, and other social media platforms have collectively banned Trump's account, depriving him of a direct means to communicate with 80 million followers. This is the first time in his political career that he has been forced to "silence".

Criminal charges

Dozens of criminal prosecutions have come one after another, forcing Trump to shuttle between the courtroom and the public eye.

Family Betrayal

Even his daughter Ivanka has publicly expressed disappointment at the Capitol Hill incident. This statement has left Trump isolated.

The mainstream public opinion agrees that Trump's political life has come to an end. However, Musk in Silicon Valley has a different view. He said to his frens at a private gathering, "They underestimated Trump, but they underestimated the group behind him more."

In March 2021, Musk officially topped the Hurun Global Rich List and became the richest person in the world. His wealth has accumulated to the extreme, and his ambitions for power have quietly sprouted.

In public, Musk continues to play the role of a 'white left' leader in the tech industry. He supports environmental causes and advocates for the technological revolution of decentralization, even openly criticizing Trump as the 'representative of democratic crisis' on Twitter. But privately, his actions are completely different.

In April 2022, Musk proposed a shocking plan to acquire Twitter for $43 billion.

This is not just a business transaction, but also a political gamble. He knows well that social media is no longer just a tool for spreading information, but a weapon that influences public perception. By controlling Twitter, he can control public opinion and even change the course of history.

Despite the board of directors of Twitter attempting to block this acquisition with a 'poison pill' plan, Musk was undeterred. Six months later, he successfully completed the deal at a price of 440 billion U.S. dollars and renamed it "X".

Act Three: Musk's Transformation and the Dilemma of the Democratic Party

2022, a year of turning point.

With the outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian War, the Biden administration has been forced to allocate a large amount of resources to assist in the Ukrainian battlefield. However, the consequences of this war have quickly escalated domestically in the United States: inflation rates have soared, energy prices are soaring, and the cost of living for the lower class has sharply increased. The White House continues to issue statements claiming that the American economy is recovering, but the fact is that the price of eggs in supermarkets has almost doubled, and the price of gasoline has become unbearable for many middle-class families.

Meanwhile, the border issue between the U.S. and Mexico is escalating. The Biden administration has terminated the border wall project from the Trump era, resulting in a large influx of illegal immigrants and a sharp deterioration in security issues in border towns. Every day, the mainstream media in the U.S. is filled with news of shootings, robberies, and zero-dollar purchases.

Musk quickly grasped all of this and realized that this was the best time to redefine the power structure.

But this year, his personal life has also undergone a huge impact. His eldest son Xavier officially applied to the court for gender reassignment to become a woman and publicly announced his intention to sever ties with his father. This event not only became a family crisis for Musk, but also made him realize the profound impact of 'awakening culture' on society.

Elon Musk publicly criticized the transgender movement and the 'awakening virus' for the first time on Twitter. His remarks quickly sparked controversy, but also won support from a portion of the MAGA group. He has never publicly admitted to being a supporter of Trump, but has started to associate himself with the 'MAGA mask', gradually attracting this political force.

However, this is just a tactic, and Musk's goals go far beyond the scope of MAGA. He knows very well that his belief is not populism, but a technological doctrine that goes beyond national boundaries and ideologies:

Social Darwinism;

Technological capitalism;

Egoism.

In Musk's blueprint, the United States is just his testing ground for power, and technology is his true tool of power.

Act Four: The Rift Between Musk and Trump

At the beginning of 2023, the atmosphere in Washington is tense and delicate.

Elon Musk sat in the office at Twitter headquarters, the screen in front of him displaying messages of gratitude from MAGA supporters for unblocking Trump's account. He smiled gently, picked up a cup of coffee, but didn't drink it. His gaze turned to the window, seemingly contemplating something.

At the same time, Trump held a secret meeting at Mar-a-Lago. His advisory team made it clear that Musk's intentions should not be underestimated; his actions seem more like an attempt to take control of the entire MAGA movement rather than supporting Trump.

“Who does Musk think he is? He will never understand what our faith is!” Trump angrily slammed the table. His advisors remained silent, knowing that the former president's anger was building up, but no one dared to directly refute Musk's importance.

The key reason for the gradual divergence between the two lies in their completely different definitions of power:

Trump's MAGA movement is centered on populism, and he believes that his power comes from the loyalty of grassroots supporters.

Musk, on the other hand, believes in the power of technology and capital. He sees Trump as just a pawn in the power game, a temporary tool.

The divergence is becoming more public. In May 2023, Musk mentioned in an interview: 'We should not be afraid of artificial intelligence, what we should really worry about is stupid leaders.' Although not naming names, the Trump camp quickly interpreted this statement as a sarcasm against Trump.

Act five: Prelude to an Information Coup

In 2024, the preparations for the U.S. presidential election are in full swing.

Behind the MAGA movement, Musk's Silicon Valley tech conglomerate is accelerating its expansion. He has successfully acquired CNN and is integrating it into Twitter's operating system. He has launched a new algorithm on the Twitter platform that can analyze user emotions in real-time and push customized political content based on user interests.

The Trump team realized that Musk's tweets are no longer a neutral platform. It is more like a weapon, a tool that can shape public perception. A senior advisor to Trump said at a meeting: 'If we cannot control public opinion, winning votes is meaningless.'

At the same time, Musk's actions became bolder.

He publicly announced that he will distribute coin rewards to every Twitter user who participates in the election to encourage "real and transparent voting".

The non-profit organization he funded began running a large number of ads in key swing states, promoting the idea of "technology changing the world," indirectly implying that Trump's "outdated" policies will hinder America's future.

This information war is not only an experiment of power, but also a global technological revolution. Musk is testing whether election results can be directly influenced through information control. If successful, this will be one of the most disruptive changes in modern political history.

Outcome: Inevitable confrontation

In November 2024, the United States welcomed a new presidential election.

Trump stood on a stage in Florida, delivering a speech to tens of thousands of supporters. His voice was hoarse, but his emotions were high: 'This is not a normal election, this is a battle for the soul of America!' Cheers erupted from the crowd, and the MAGA flag waved in the air.

At the same time, Musk is in a high-tech conference room in Silicon Valley, California, watching the data analysis results of CNN and Twitter. His team's report states that his algorithm can accurately predict the voting tendencies of voters and even change the flow of 5% of votes through content push.

Trump emphasizes tradition and faith, while Musk shapes a futuristic utopian vision through technological means. These two completely different power models will inevitably clash in the future.

What is the result of this future confrontation?

The final answer has not yet been revealed, but what can be certain is that the impact of this power struggle will far exceed the United States, and even surpass the Earth itself.

What is the future of power? Who will control the destiny of humanity? This 'information revolution' will reveal the answer.
