#TrumpVsMusk

The public feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk, widely discussed under the hashtag #TrumpVsMusk, recently exploded, marking the end of an unlikely alliance between the U.S. president and the tech billionaire. Here’s an update based on the latest information: Context of the Dispute: Origin of the Conflict: Tension began when Musk openly criticized Trump’s bill, known as "One Big Beautiful Bill," which proposes tax cuts of $$ 3.7 trillion and additional spending that would increase the national deficit by $$ 2.4 trillion over the next decade, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Musk, who until recently led the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), called the bill a "disgusting abomination" and urged followers on X to pressure Congress to reject it. Escalation: During a meeting in the Oval Office with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on June 5, 2025, Trump expressed disappointment with Musk, suggesting that he was upset about the removal of tax incentives for electric vehicles, impacting Tesla. Musk responded in real-time on X, denying that his criticism was limited to incentives and intensifying personal attacks. Key Developments: Personal Attacks: Musk against Trump: Musk accused Trump, without evidence, of being in the unreleased files of Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting that this was the reason the documents had not been released. He wrote on X: "Time to drop the big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That’s the real reason they haven’t been made public."
