### Cohen Predicts Trump-Musk Relationship to Sour Over Wealth

Michael Cohen, former attorney for Donald Trump, has forecasted an impending fallout between the former president and billionaire Elon Musk. Speaking on MSNBC, Cohen stated that the so-called "bromance" between Trump and Musk was always destined to end badly. This prediction came shortly after Musk distanced himself from the "DOGE" initiative aimed at reducing government spending.

Cohen suggested that Trump’s next move might be to target Musk's wealth, feeling uneasy about Musk's status as the world’s richest individual. "Yes, he used him for his money," Cohen remarked, highlighting Musk’s $291 million expenditure during the 2024 election cycle, primarily directed at supporting Trump, as reported by OpenSecrets.org.

He further speculated that Trump will exploit the DOGE committee to scrutinize how Musk’s business ventures have benefited from U.S. government support. This could include attempts to reclaim funds, such as subsidies received by Tesla. Cohen drew a parallel with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's aggressive consolidation of power, suggesting that Trump might employ similar tactics against Musk.

Cohen has a unique insight into Trump’s relationships, having served as his personal lawyer and fixer for many years before turning against him. Cohen’s own legal troubles, which include campaign finance violations and lying to Congress, underscore his assertion that Trump cares solely about himself. "Look at what he did to me," Cohen emphasized, reflecting on his loyalty to Trump and how it ultimately backfired.

Trump's pattern of discarding loyal associates once they no longer serve his purposes is a recurring theme in Cohen's narrative. He recounted his own experience as a warning to others who might think their loyalty would shield them from Trump’s self-serving actions. "Donald doesn’t care about anyone or anything other than himself," Cohen concluded, expressing a sentiment borne from personal betrayal.
