#MuskVsTrump Today’s headlines swirl around Donald Trump’s intensifying feud with Elon Musk and a flurry of controversial political moves. The clash erupted over Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” on tax cuts and spending. Musk slammed it as an “abomination” and claimed Trump’s name appears in sealed Jeffrey Epstein files. Trump fired back, threatening to pull federal contracts from Musk’s companies and branding him “a man who has lost his mind.” In a dramatic twist, Trump may sell his Tesla Model S, which he bought just three months ago.
Musk, who stepped down from his role at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) on May 30, responded by announcing that SpaceX will retire its Dragon spacecraft program—a clear shot at Trump’s threats.
Meanwhile, Trump is doubling down on trade. After a June 5 call with President of. China, Trump is set to meet him again June 9 in London. His tariff hikes—now 50% on steel and aluminum—are in legal limbo but still active, thanks to a recent appeals court decision.
Back home, he’s under fire for shutting down Dupont Circle park during WorldPride 2025 and for reviving a travel ban targeting 12 countries. Critics warn these moves could destabilize both diplomacy and the economy.
