Trump and Musk’s Online Feud Culminates in Deleted Tweet and Hints of Truce

A public spat between Elon Musk and Donald Trump led to Musk deleting a tweet that mentioned Trump in relation to the Epstein files. The dispute began with Musk’s assertions about the files’ non-release and Trump’s alleged connection. The tension was compounded by Musk’s departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and disagreement regarding Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’. Musk’s deleted tweet directly implicated Trump, which was followed by a suggestion of reconciliation after a tweet from Bill Ackman. JD Vance, the US Vice President, backed Trump during the online conflict. This public disagreement between two high-profile figures intensified quickly, marked by escalating criticisms and allegations.
