Tension between Trump and Elon Musk boiled over on Thursday after the President responded to the Space X founder’s thrashing of the Big Beautiful Act and its spending levels, sparking a very public feud between the two.
Trump told reporters on Thursday that Musk is seemingly “upset because we took the EV mandate” and suggested he was also unhappy that Trump pulled the nomination of Musk’s friend, Jared Isaacman, for NASA administrator.
Later Thursday, President Trump took to Truth Social to air his grievances.
Trump created a firestorm after he threatened to cut billions of dollars of Elon Musk’s government subsidies and contracts.
“Elon was “wearing thin,” I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!” Trump said on Truth Social.
“The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!” Trump said.
Elon Musk responded with a taunt.
This just gets better and better

In a follow up X post, Elon Musk said President Trump is in the Epstein files.
Time to drop the really big bomb:@realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public.
Have a nice day, DJT!
