In a revelation that’s already setting fire to political circles and social media threads alike, former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci just shattered the illusion of harmony between President Donald Trump and his longtime tech ally, Elon Musk.

Speaking to a packed audience at the prestigious Hay Festival in the U.K., Scaramucci did more than just talk shop. He dropped an unfiltered bombshell — that the Tesla and SpaceX CEO holds deep-seated “disgust” for the 47th President of the United States. And the alleged private comment Musk made behind closed doors?

“I wouldn’t trust him with a power switch, let alone a country.”

Those were Scaramucci’s chilling words on Thursday, echoing across headlines in both the U.S. and Europe. The explosive claim leaves Americans asking: Is the Musk-Trump alliance real, or just another illusion staged for mutual benefit?

“He’s Playing a Long Game… But He’s Laughing at Him in Private”
Scaramucci, who famously lasted just 11 days in the Trump administration before being ousted, claimed Musk has been privately mocking Trump for years.

“Musk may smile in public, tweet supportive things here and there,” Scaramucci explained, “but in private? He thinks Trump is an unpredictable, dangerous buffoon. The kind of guy who couldn’t be trusted with a flashlight, let alone the nuclear codes.”

The audience reportedly gasped as Scaramucci continued detailing private conversations and cryptic tweets Musk has allegedly used to distance himself from Trump — without outright betraying him in the public sphere.

The most telling example? Musk’s now-viral insult aimed at Trump’s former trade adviser, Peter Navarro, whom he labeled “dumber than a box of rocks” before sarcastically apologizing to the box of rocks in a follow-up tweet.

“Navarro and Trump share identical trade views,” Scaramucci noted, raising his hands theatrically, “so when Musk obliterated Navarro, he was taking aim at Trump without saying his name.”

The Alliance Under Fire: A Fragile Friendship?
While Trump and Musk have appeared on friendlier terms recently — trading nods and likes on social media — insiders now wonder how deep that camaraderie really runs.

“They’ve been useful to each other,” said one anonymous GOP strategist. “Trump loves to name-drop billionaires. Musk loves influencing policy. But respect? That’s another story.”

If Scaramucci’s words are true, it raises a dangerous question: Is Trump’s most powerful tech ally just a wolf in sheep’s clothing?

One source close to Musk, speaking under the condition of anonymity, claims the billionaire has often been “frustrated” by Trump’s behavior, especially during key business negotiations and political events where Musk felt Trump was “reckless” and “uninformed.”

“He cringed when Trump said we’d land on Mars by the end of his second term,” the source added. “That kind of grandstanding makes Musk roll his eyes behind closed doors.”

Social Media ERUPTS
Within minutes of Scaramucci’s comments hitting the web, #MuskVsTrump began trending across platforms. Pro-Trump influencers immediately went into damage control mode, some accusing Scaramucci of “manufacturing drama” to sell books or promote his podcast.

But others saw a different story: a possible crack in one of the most unexpected political alliances in recent memory.

“Musk is a strategist,” tweeted political commentator Joy Mendel. “If he’s leaking these feelings now, it means he’s preparing to break publicly. Watch closely.”

What’s Next for Trump and Musk?
If Musk truly feels “disgust” toward Trump, and if he’s willing to let confidants like Scaramucci leak such views, the next chapter could be seismic. The billionaire’s influence over public opinion, tech policy, and even campaign financing makes him a key figure in any 2024 or 2028 political battle.

“Trump has few real allies left,” Scaramucci said during the interview. “If he loses Musk, even privately, that’s more dangerous than losing a cabinet secretary.”

As the world waits to see whether Musk will confirm or deny the claims, one thing is certain: The myth of Trump’s loyal billionaire inner circle is no longer bulletproof.

And if this is only the beginning… what else is Elon Musk keeping behind closed doors?
