Donald Trump's biographer made an eerie prediction about Elon Musk's time in the White House coming to a fiery end seven months before the spat between the pair.

Michael Wolff, who has authored several books highly critical of the president over the years, including Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, told BBC Newsnight in October 2024: "The thing about being king of the world is there can only be one."

The pre-election prediction came months before the high-profile bromance between the Republican and the billionaire finally imploded on Thursday, with Mr Trump claiming the world’s richest man had gone “CRAZY” and threatening to terminate his multi-billion-dollar government contracts.
