Trump's former fixer says Musk should DM him for a lifeline amid the feud with POTUS
The Tesla boss, once seen as an ally of Trump and even tapped to head the Department of Government Efficiency during his presidency, has taken a sharp turn in recent weeks.
Musk has openly criticised Trump on social media, going so far as to slam the former president's 'One Big Beautiful Bill' and even link him to the Epstein files. He further roiled feathers by saying that the Republicans would not have been the winners of the 2024 elections without his support.

But amid the war of words, Musk got a curious message out of the blue from one familiar with Trump tricks, his ex-fixer and personal attorney, Michael Cohen.
What message does Cohen have for Musk
Cohen, who has served time in federal prison for campaign finance violations and tax fraud, took to X (formerly Twitter) last month to directly address Musk.
'@elonmusk I told you this would happen. If you want to know how to fight political guerrilla warfare, DM me! Otherwise, you lose,' Cohen wrote.
'Let me make something crystal clear: no one; not Bannon, not Jared, not Rudy, not me, and definitely not Elon, has ever been more important to Trump than Trump. The 'bromance' is never about you. It's about what he can extract from you. Your loyalty. Your power. Your credibility. Your money. And when it's over, it's not just over; it's scorched earth,' he doubled down.
He also cautioned that Trump has 'the full weight of the federal government behind him,' and suggested Musk had made 'the classic mistake of believing he was untouchable.'

Last month, Trump's former fixer told MSNBC's Ali Velshi that Trump won't leave Musk in peace. 'They're going to really go after Elon Musk like nobody has seen, ever, in this country, because they can,' he said.
'And one thing Elon doesn't understand is this political guerilla warfare that they're going to conduct against him.'

Best of BS Opinion: Correct timing, power, and the politics of precision
Imagine, you're playing badminton at dusk, the last game of the day. The air is thick with sweat and concentration. The rally has gone long, your legs ache, but your grip is tight on the racquet. And just then, the shuttle floats up just right. It's the moment. The crowd (or your cousin on the sidelines) holds its breath. You leap. All your power rushes to the wrist. But misjudge the timing by a split second, and it's not the shuttle you strike, it's your own shin. The point's gone, and so is your pride. That's the thing about power. It dazzles. But precision makes it count. Let's dive in. At the BRICS summit in Brazil, the bloc served up a lofty vision of multipolar global governance. But the timing was off. Xi Jinping didn't show up. Putin beamed in from behind a legal firewall. Their declaration, which was long, loud, and layered with good intentions, ended up masking deep divisions. As our first editorial notes, India now has to prepare for its turn as host in 2026, facing the tricky task of keeping this scattered smash from hitting the floor. Donald Trump, meanwhile, nailed his legislative smash, or so it seems. His $4.5 trillion 'Big Beautiful Bill' rewrites tax policy, but slashes healthcare and green subsidies. Markets flinch. The deficit balloons. Even Elon Musk protests. The power was there, and the Republicans lined up for the perfect assist. But, as our second editorial outlines, the follow-through may haunt not just America, but emerging markets bracing for aftershocks. R Jagannathan reflects on a different kind of swing: one between ideology and realism. Should Vodafone Idea be nationalised to avoid a telecom duopoly? Should the government stay the course on disinvestment? The problem isn't strength. It's a fuzzy vision and half-hearted execution. Like mid-air hesitation before a decisive smash, it only leads to stumbles. Vanita Kohli-Khandekar writes about India's film industry, where studios obsess over star power but overlook screen infrastructure. SVF's investment in West Bengal's single-screen revival shows that placing the shuttle right, again and again, can reignite the game. But if the industry keeps missing that window, it'll only keep bruising itself with underwhelming turnouts. Finally, Aditi Phadnis reviews Adivasi or Vanvasi: Tribal India and the Politics of Hindutva, a bold study of the RSS's tribal outreach. Here too, the Sangh's outreach brims with influence but carries inner contradictions. When ideology overtakes timing, you win applause, but miss the point. Stay tuned, and remember, sometimes, the strongest smash is the one you resist, until you're ready!

US to send ‘more weapons' to Ukraine, says Trump, days after ordering pause in deliveries
US president Donald Trump on Monday said that America will have to send more weapons to Ukraine to help the war-torn country defend itself against Russian offensive, days after ordering a pause in the critical delivery of weapons to Kyiv. Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said that Ukraine was getting hit by Russia very hard and it needs to defend itself. The US president detailed that America would be sending primarily defensive weapons. Earlier on Friday, Trump had said that Ukraine would need Patriot missiles to be able to defend itself but the US leader skipped mentioning it on Monday. 'We're going to send some more weapons. We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves. They're getting hit very hard, now. They're getting hit very hard. We're going to have to send more weapons, defensive weapons, primarily,' Trump said at the White House ahead of the start of 'private dinner' with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The comments by Trump appeared to be a complete change in stance after the Pentagon last week announced to pause the delivery of some air defense missiles, precision-guided artillery and other weapons to Ukraine amid the concerns that its own stockpiles have depleted too much. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, after a call with President Trump on Friday, had said that the US leader had agreed to work on increasing Kyiv's capability to 'defend the sky' as Russian attacks escalated. Zelenskyy discussed joint defense production, purchases and investments with Trump. Meanwhile, Moscow escalated its offensive against Kyiv and the latest Russian attacks on Ukraine killed at least 11 civilians and injured more than 80 others, including seven children, officials said on Monday. Ukraine has been asking the US to sell more of its Patriot missiles and other systems in order to defend its cities from intensifying Russian attacks. 'I'm not happy with President Putin at all,' Trump said.

‘US close to trade deal with India', Donald Trump announces amid new tariffs on 14 countries
United States President Donald Trump has again stated that the country is 'close' to signing a trade deal with India, even as he on July 7 revealed tariffs on some 14 countries, including major Asian trading partners Japan and South Korea. Talking to reporters about the tariff letters sent to various countries, Donald Trump said, '...We are close to making a deal with India. We've made a deal with the United Kingdom. We've made a deal with China." 'Others we met with, and we don't think we're going to be able to make a deal, so we just send them a letter. We're sending out letters to various countries telling them how much tariffs they have to pay. Some will maybe adjust a little bit depending if they have a cause, we're not going to be unfair about it…' he added. Donald Trump on July 7 notified US trade partners that higher tariffs will begin from August 1 this year, in 14 letters sent to countries including Japan, South Korea, Serbia, Thailand and Tunisia, according to a Reuters report. He also hinted at being open to deals and negotiations, but warned of consequences if the countries addressed retaliated with their own tariffs, the report added. 'If for any reason you decide to raise your Tariffs, then, whatever the number you choose to raise them by, will be added onto the 25 per cent that we charge,' Donald Trump said in letters, released on his Truth Social platform, to Japan and South Korea.
