The day of the Trump-Musk feud is this generation's white Ford Bronco chase. For an afternoon, everyone was glued to their screens as the world's most powerful man and the world's richest man squared off. The entertainment value helped distract from the sour smell of societal rot. It was a ridiculous milestone in our national decline, and Esquire's Dave Holmes has possibly the final word on what it's all about. – Michael Sebastian, editor-in-chief Plus: |

A breakup fight turns into an extremely dumb referendum on manhood. |
As even the very-not-online know by now, President Donald Trump and Wealthy Nuisance Elon Musk got into it on Thursday. In a volley of social media posts over the course of an afternoon, the two demonstrated that they have, like Taylor Swift and Blake Lively, halted their friendship. Of course, unlike Swift and Lively, neither of these boys seem to have run any of their public messages by any of their legal representatives before blasting them out into the world. So, we got Elon admitting to having bought the Republican Party its wins in the last election, and then accusing Donald of being in the Epstein Files. We got Donald threatening to cancel all of SpaceX's federal contracts, and then divulging the really dishy details of a conversation he had about Elon with Heather Locklear, who he could tell was pretty into him. That last part is not technically true but it is tonally accurate. It actually could still happen at any minute, so you should park yourself on the home page of either The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal, both of which still have live coverage of this social media breakup spat, updating in real time. |

What Wes Anderson loves to do is make movies, yes—but really, it's more specific than that. Anderson likes to create films in his own particular style (symmetrical, colorful, meticulously arranged), about his own particular preoccupations (families, schemes, young love), with his own particular troupe of actors (Schwartzman, Murray, Wilson, Norton, etc.). As his career has advanced, each successive film has felt like a slight refinement upon the previous one, with Anderson's command growing stronger and his signatures more familiar. For better or worse, he is our most consistent auteur. Which also makes his films—including his latest, The Phoenician Scheme—the most difficult to rank. |

Malbon has been at the forefront of the Golfaissance before the pandemic brought everyone back to the course. The Los Angeles-based brand has been one of the finest purveyors of golf clothing since its launch in 2017. Tastemaking style, good photoshoots, and a laid-back swagger you're not going to see at Augusta. The brand's bread-and-butter is collaborations, specifically when it gets resources from an established company to make something killer. |
