Donald Trump and Elon Musk are having a messy public spat over Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” which would fund mass deportations while cutting some spending elsewhere. Musk’s main concern is that the bill does not formally codify DOGE’s budget cuts and continues deficit spending at an unsustainable level. For those not familiar with modern economic theory, deficit spending is fine if it causes the GDP to grow and thus the national debt to GDP ratio remains the same. This can work in a white country but is all but impossible in the modern US where government spending is shoveling money into ever-increasing millions of black holes.

All-out war erupted on June 5, 2025 when Elon claimed that the Epstein list wasn’t being released because Trump was on it. This was followed by a flurry of social media posts by both sides.

So who is right? Who is more likely to prevail? And most importantly: What should White Nationalists do?

Trump is mostly in the right. The problem is that he is incompetent. He talked up the Epstein list and even promised to release the files, but then failed to deliver.

Trump is indeed named in the Epstein files, but on a flight with his family and a nanny. Thus, nothing untoward could have happened. And while Trump can be dumb, he’s not dumb enough to talk up the files if he really was implicated in them. Furthermore, if the files did implicate Trump in something bad, the Democrats would have released them — even if it caused massive collateral damage on both sides of the uniparty aisle. For those who may doubt this, remember that the deep state kept the fact that Biden had late-stage colon cancer from him for electoral reasons, thereby probably shaving off several years off his life. If the regime’s top front man is that expendable, Congress critters and vapid celebrities are even more expendable.

Most importantly, if what Elon claims is true, what did he know and when did he know it? Are we to believe that he only became acquainted with Trump’s depravity just as they had a falling out and not sooner? Doubtful. If true, Elon’s accusations implicate him in the Epstein cover-up, because he was happy to fund, campaign for, and collaborate with Trump while knowing he was depraved.

Perhaps Trump delayed the release of the Epstein files and prosecutions thinking he could use it as his own blackmail. If so, it failed because the Congress has not been cooperative. Sometimes you just have to let justice reign even if the world burns.

The most likely reason that Trump ordered Bondi and Patel not to release the files was because they implicated “our greatest friend and ally” Israel. Anyone from our sphere could have told Trump this years ago. Epstein didn’t traffic underage girls as a hobby. He was running a blackmail ring for Mossad. But Trump is stuck in a boomer fantasy land where Jews are magical creatures who can do no wrong, just as liberals view blacks. This is a great example of why conservatives should listen to us nationalists more.

On June 4, the tone-deaf FBI all but confirmed my suspicions that the files implicate Israel when they disingenuously posted a desperate cope.

Methinks the obese trans lady of color doth protest too much. The same people who quickly and aggressively prosecuted hundreds of J6ers have not made a single Epstein related arrest.

The White House shielding Jews from criticism from the Epstein list is even more bizarre and incompetent after the apparent decoupling of the administration from Israel and their warmongering operative Mike Waltz. Releasing the list would have been a good slap in the face to the people trying to undermine the administration’s pivot from World Policeman to Fortress America.

Elon might be stabbing Trump in the front, but the FBI and the Zionists will stab him in the back if they think they can get away with it. Given the lack of accountability for J6 and the stolen election, there’s little reason why they shouldn’t think they can get away with it again.

Elon is also focused on the wrong issue. What made the DOGE cuts great was simply defunding the Left. Talk about fiscal responsibility was always just window dressing. DOGE should be analyzed from the perspective of Sulla, not Ned Flanders.

Yes, out of control spending which has brought us to a 124% debt to GDP ratio is a problem. But Elon, like a typical conservative, is putting the cart before the horse. Passing good policy today is worthless if we lose the next election. The Democrats are too dangerous to be allowed to take power. They would destroy a lot more than our finances.

That the bill doesn’t tackle the national debt is not a problem with Trump but with the structural issues of liberal representative democracy, mainly the incentive for short-term looting over long-term planning as explained by Hans-Hermann Hoppe.

And as alluded to above, there is a strong racial element to balancing the budget. Overall, it takes over four white taxpayers to subsidize one black over his lifetime due to entitlements, social services, and crime. Hispanics aren’t much better. The best way to balance the budget is to Make America White Again. Funding Trump’s deportation and remigration policies is an important first step towards that goal.

I’m not going to balance the budget for the brown people replacing us.

So who will win? Without a doubt, Trump.

Elon has an advantage in that both have a free speech platform, with Elon’s X outclassing Trump’s Truth Social in both quality and size of userbase. Both also have a dramatic backstory of huge ups and downs in business, with Elon’s technology being more admirable than Trump’s real estate.

Trump’s advantages clearly eclipse Elon’s. They both have cults of personality, with Trump’s being larger and more mobilized, including in real life. It helps that Trump literally dodged a bullet and has been fighting this fight much longer than Elon. Elon’s main plan for now seems to be to form a third party, which is not viable with the US winner-take-all electoral system. Moreover, Elon’s businesses are dependent upon government contracts, which Trump can cut. And if he tries to ban or shadowban MAGA accounts on X as he did to nationalists during The Great Christmas H1B War, it will backfire. He cannot afford such a loss of legitimacy nor a Rightest boycott of X.

This flows into the strongest factor for why Trump will win: we aren’t going back to libertarianism. There was a robust libertarian to MAGA or Alt Right pipeline, but it only flows in one direction. Race blind capitalism no longer appeals to anyone except oligarchs. We “subtards” beat Elon in the Great H1B War, and we can beat him again.

“Who is right?” and “Who will win?” are questions asked by passive spectators. I prefer the active question: How we can we use this to advance white interests?

Whites are the backbone of MAGA. We are the backbone of America, the land that allows Elon’s businesses to flourish. But we are at best taken for granted, like a neglected child. Oftentimes, we are outright abused. If they treat us like a kid in a dysfunctional family, perhaps we should act like one.

Oftentimes in a divorce, the children realize that they can manipulate their parents into competing for their favor. Trump is our real dad, and because he loves us more, we should insist that he show it with gifts like mass deportations, free speech, white identity politics, dismantling the FBI, paying the J6ers restitution, and freeing Derek Chauvin. Why not suspend habeas corpus and denounce Jewish control of American foreign policy while we’re at it? If Elon wants visitation, he can make X a free speech platform in fact as well as in name.

I would prefer that we all get along and work together, but here we are. Even if Trump and Elon reconcile tomorrow, the scars will remain, and it will only be a matter of time until the conflict re-erupts with greater force.

Elon has made it clear that he feels entitled to dictate policy because he helped reelect Trump with his “free speech” platform, funding, and star power. That would be conventional wisdom, but history is a stream of becoming which has moved on. Elon is ironically oblivious to how reelecting Trump ended the old era in which oligarchs could buy politicians.

A power can be overthrown only by another power, not by a principle, and no power that can confront money is left but this one. Money is overthrown and abolished only by blood.
