A Kingdom Divided: When Bromances Go Bad
By the Goddess Hylia! It seems even the most powerful of friendships can be shattered like a pot in Link's path. News from a land far far away (not Hyrule sadly) tells of a rather… explosive falling out between a former leader named Trump and a tech guru named Musk. Apparently this Musk fellow has decided to forge his own path creating something called the 'American Party'. I've faced Ganon more calmly than Trump faced this news. 'Ridiculous!' he exclaimed. Oh my Goddess this is getting spicy!
Off the Rails? More Like Off the Map!
Trump in his own… unique way accused Musk of going 'completely off the rails.' I must say having seen a Lynel charge at me 'off the rails' feels like a mild description. He claims Musk has become a 'TRAIN WRECK'. I shudder to think what a literal train wreck would look like in Hyrule… probably involving a rogue Guardian and a very surprised Cucco. Apparently Trump thinks third parties create 'complete and total disruption and chaos.' I can't say I disagree Hyrule's political landscape is crazy.
Musk's Manifesto: Freedom For All (Maybe)
Musk not one to back down from a fight (sounds a bit like Link doesn't he?) declared the 'American Party' was formed to 'give you back your freedom!' Freedom is always a good thing unless you're a Bokoblin facing Link armed with the Master Sword. Musk had been teasing this new party for weeks disagreeing with Trump's tax and spending plans which he claims would 'bankrupt the economy.' I must say it's always brave when someone stands up for what they believe in even if it means facing a barrage of… opinions.
DOGE Days Are Over: A Government Efficiency Gone to the Dogs?
The article mentions that Musk once led something called the 'Department of Government Efficiency,' or DOGE. I can only imagine the chaos if we had a DOGE in Hyrule! 'All in favor of reducing taxes? Woof!' 'All opposed? Silent like a sleeping Hinox!' This was during a 'bromance' (whatever that is) where Musk apparently spent a fortune supporting Trump. Ah the fleeting nature of alliances… like a fairy in a bottle they don't last forever.
Electric Dreams and Taxing Realities
Trump also took aim at Musk's 'Electric Vehicle Mandate,' claiming it would 'force everyone to buy an Electric Car in a short period of time.' I suppose it is a bit much but I do see the value. Imagine Epona powered by electricity! No more need for carrots! And it would be eco friendly! (Of course then we'd need charging stations which might attract Guardians…). Trump ended tax credits for electric vehicles claiming he warned Musk about this. Musk supposedly said he had 'no problems with that.' Hmmm smells fishy to me!
Tesla Troubles: Shareholders Strike Back!
Finally Trump's allies are getting involved. Some investment firm CEO postponed an IPO because of Musk's new party claiming it creates a conflict with his duties at Tesla. He's urging the Tesla board to 'rein him in'. It seems being a CEO and a politician are almost as dangerous as trying to take a nap next to a sleeping Guardian. Only time will tell where this saga leads but one thing is for sure: Hyrule is thankful for its relative lack of political drama (except when Ganon is involved of course).
