#TrumpVsMusk
It seems that the relationship between U.S. President Donald Trump and businessman Elon Musk has turned into a public confrontation, as both sides exchanged criticisms via social media platforms following a dispute over a major economic bill. The disagreement began when Musk described the bill supported by Trump as a "disaster filled with favoritism," prompting Trump to respond by threatening to cut government contracts to Musk's companies, including *SpaceX* and *Tesla* ⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾.
In another escalation, Musk hinted that Trump might be involved in the *Jeffrey Epstein* files, which sparked widespread controversy⁽¹⁾. Musk also indicated the possibility of shutting down SpaceX's *Dragon* spacecraft, which NASA uses to transport astronauts to the International Space Station⁽¹⁾.
On the other hand, polls have shown that a majority of Americans do not support either side in this dispute, with *52%* of participants choosing the option "neither" when asked about which party they support in this conflict⁽³⁾.
It seems that the tension eased a bit on Friday, as Musk showed openness to reconciliation, while Trump indicated that he is "not interested" in having a call with Musk at this time⁽⁴⁾⁽⁵⁾. Do you have any specific aspect of this topic you would like to discuss?
