Cohen's Bold Prediction: A Bromance on the Rocks?

In a startling revelation, Michael Cohen, the former personal attorney of Donald Trump, has forecasted a turbulent shift in the billionaire's relationship with Elon Musk. Speaking on MSNBC, Cohen expressed his belief that what many saw as a strong alliance is about to unravel.

"I’ve said it from the beginning: this bromance was destined to end," Cohen declared, shortly after Musk stepped back from his involvement in the controversial 'DOGE' initiative aimed at reducing government expenditures.

The Stakes: Money and Power

Cohen didn’t shy away from emphasizing the potential financial friction brewing between the two titans. He speculated that Trump could target Musk's wealth, citing Musk’s status as the world’s richest man as an irritation for the former president. Cohen noted, "Yes, he used him for his money," highlighting the transactional nature of their relationship.

Musk has funneled an astounding $291 million into the 2024 election cycle, largely supporting Trump, a fact that now seems to loom large over their partnership.

A Daring Strategy: DOGE and Government Funds

In a strategic twist, Cohen suggested that Trump might leverage the infamous cryptocurrency, DOGE, to challenge Musk, pointing to how his ventures have taken advantage of American resources. He predicted that Trump could seek to "claw back" financial incentives, like government subsidies for Tesla.

Cohen’s Stark Analogy: Royals and Rivalry

Cohen further drew a provocative parallel between Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who notoriously consolidated power through aggressive measures against rivals, including family members. Cohen warned, "He’s gonna do to Elon Musk what Mohammed bin Salman did to other royal family members."

A Bitter Betrayal: Lessons from Cohen's Experience

Having spent years as Trump's confidant, Cohen knows firsthand the potential for betrayal in Trump's world. After cooperating with investigations and testifying against Trump, Cohen knows too well how loyalty can turn to dust. "Donald doesn’t care about anyone or anything other than himself," he stated. "I would have taken a bullet for him—if he wasn’t the one pulling the trigger."

With tensions brewing, the political and personal showdown between Trump and Musk could be one for the history books.
