Trump and Musk's Heated Feud: A Public Brawl Unfolds
Trump offers well-wishes to Musk: "I hope he succeeds"
The relationship between U.S. President Donald Trump and tech titan Elon Musk has taken a turn for the worse, as both figures engage in a public slapfight, trading insults and accusations. As of now, it seems their rough patch shows no signs of resolution.
After the public falling out, President Trump has made it clear he wants nothing to do with Musk, deeming their conversation not worth his precious time. "I wish him all the best," Trump said aboard Air Force One, refusing to indulge in attempts to reconcile. He's got more pressing issues on his plate, like solving problems for the U.S. and the world.
The spat between the two started with Musk's vocal opposition to a tax and budget law promoted by Trump. Musk is advocating for much deeper spending cuts. On his social media platform, Trump hinted at potentially revoking government contracts for Musk's companies like Tesla and SpaceX, but remained vague on the details.
This spat has escalated dramatically in recent days, with Musk labeling Trump "crazy" in response to the President's criticism, and trading harsh words on their respective platforms. Musk even proposed founding a new centrist political party and put the idea to a vote. He also hinted at Trump's reliance on his support during the 2016 election.
Despite amidst the public battle, a source close to Musk suggested that he was open to mending fences with Trump, but recent social media activity suggests otherwise. Musk continues to slam Trump's tax plan, and maintains his call for a new centrist political party in the U.S.
Musk, a trusted Republican and notable campaign supporter with financial contributions over $250 million, found himself leading the cost-cutting committee Doge under Trump. However, the committee faced setbacks in the courts, with the Supreme Court granting temporary access rights to sensitive data from the Social Security Administration, and overturning a lower court's decision that would have forced Doge to disclose certain information, including internal emails.
