Elon Musk removes content critical of Trump as tensions resurface
Elon Musk's Controversial Tweet Deletions
Arguably the most influential tech entrepreneur, Elon Musk, has caused a stir yet again by deleting a series of tweets on his X (ex-Twitter) platform, targeting none other than former US President Donald Trump. The deleted messages included a claim linking Trump to the Jeffrey Epstein controversy, which has started a new round of heated exchanges between two of America's biggest personalities.
The contested tweets led users to a blank website, suggesting they've been erased. Musk's allegation pointed to the Epstein files being withheld due to an alleged relationship with Trump. However, no proof supports these claims.
The elimination of Musk's posts followed a heated debate over Trump's proposed tax and budget reductions. Musk vehemently opposed the bill, dubbing it a "wicked act," highlighting its potential to escalate the country's staggering $36 trillion debt[1]. Trump, on the other hand, went on record applauding the law.
After initially choosing not to comment on the situation, Trump expressed his disappointment with Musk, stating, "We used to be friends"[1].
Both men took to their respective platforms to exchange digs - Musk via X and Trump on Truth Social. In a deleted post, Musk asserted, "Trump would've lost without me." The posts also implied, albeit without evidence, that Trump was linked to Epstein.
The exchange takes place amid ongoing speculation on Musk's political influence and ability to sway public opinion, given his ownership of X. The deleted posts didn't receive immediate responses from the White House or the Trump campaign[1].
The relationship between the two men, once amiable, has seen a dramatic shift, adding to the mounting public altercations between them.
