#TrumpVsMusk

In the public sphere, the quarrel escalated after Trump noted at a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz: The bill on tax cuts should not be criticized. Musk called the document officially titled One Big Beautiful Bill "disgraceful," and noted that it would exacerbate the budget deficit.

In response, the head of Tesla stated that without him, Trump would have lost the election, and the Republicans would not have managed to secure an absolute majority in Congress.

In turn, Trump threatened to revoke contracts and government subsidies from SpaceX to address the budget deficit issue that Musk pointed out.

Following this, Musk stated that Trump figures in documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein child trafficking case, and that is why they have not yet been made public. According to one unofficial version, Epstein's suicide in custody in 2019 was staged, as he allegedly could have testified against high-ranking officials and celebrities who visited his island.

Trump, in response, stated that he had been planning Musk's dismissal from the administration for several months - he who headed the Department of Government Efficiency, and knowing this, "went insane."
