june 5, 2025: the musk-trump feud, reignited by musk’s recent criticism of trump’s “big beautiful bill,” has deep personal roots tracing back to 2022, when trump publicly claimed he could have made musk “drop to his knees and beg” for government help—mocking musk’s dependence on federal subsidies. that insult set the tone for a long-standing clash of egos, each driven by outsized narcissism.
in the latest escalation, trump fired back with personal insults, prompting musk to retaliate by accusing trump—without evidence—of being named in the sealed jeffrey epstein files, insinuating that this was the reason they remain unreleased. though musk later deleted the explosive post, the allegation stunned observers and reignited the feud with renewed ferocity.
inspired by beeple’s piece hard fork, this scene reimagines the escalating feud between trump and elon as a symbolic “hark fork”—a visual nod to an irreversible blockchain split—portraying them as fused halves of a single face caught mid-separation. drawing from beeple’s conceptual framework, the image incorporates real tweets from both figures to highlight and immortalize their public clash.
we’ve entered an era of political reality tv, where the fate of one of the world’s most powerful democracies is diminished by petty bickering on social media—democracy reduced to degeneracy, one tweet (and delete) at a time.
