Listen "Trump and Elon’s messy breakup"
Episode Synopsis
A feud between Elon Musk and U.S. President Trump escalated and exploded over the course of 72 hours last week.It started off with Musk’s criticism of Trump’s new spending bill, calling it a “disgusting abomination.” Trump later criticized Musk during a press conference in the Oval Office, saying that he would have won the 2024 election without the millions of dollars Musk spent to support him. From there, a barrage of attacks ensued over social media, and threats to cancel government contracts and cooperation. Dasha Burns, Politico’s White House Bureau Chief and host of “The Conversation with Dasha Burns”, is here to walk through the twists and turns of this public breakup, and reflect on who wins and who loses when two of the most powerful people in the world fight.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts
