Far-right activist Laura Loomer was quick with the jokes as President Donald Trump and his former adviser, tech billionaire Elon Musk, shared a nasty – and public – falling out.
Seemingly taking on Musk’s formerly self-appointed role of “First Buddy,” Loomer was quick to back Trump – but also poke fun at the two powerful men’s intense social media spat.
“BBB actually stands for Big beautiful breakup,” Loomer joked Thursday on X.
Musk, 53, and Trump, 78, got into a heated back-and-forth on their respective social media sites – X and Truth Social – after Musk publicly criticized the president’s tax bill, dubbed the “big beautiful bill,” just days after leaving his role leading DOGE.
Earlier Thursday, Trump said he was “very disappointed” by Musk’s comments on his spending bill, which is working its way through Congress.
After Trump spoke out in the Oval Office, Musk took to X to say his former buddy would have lost the most recent presidential election without him.
“Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Musk wrote.
“Such ingratitude,” he added in a follow-up post.
Sharing a screenshot of Musk’s retort, Loomer noted, “It’s heating up.”
“Will be interesting to see what Republican lawmakers do now. I know law makers who are asking if they should side with President Trump or Elon,” Loomer wrote.
She continued: “I’ve been on the hill all day and it’s all anyone is talking about. The most powerful man in the world vs the richest man in the world.”
Musk replied to Loomer: “Oh and some food for thought as they ponder this question: Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years…”
As the spat unfolded, the president claimed Musk had gone “CRAZY” and threatened to terminate his multi-billion-dollar government contracts.”
“Elon was ‘wearing thin,’ I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!“ Trump wrote online.
