CEO Elon Musk accused President Donald Trump of appearing in the Epstein files. As hours passed, there appears to be kind of reconciliation effort, damage control or maybe to reduce the intensity of animosity. Elon Musk has deleted some of his most damaging Twitter posts against Donald Trump, seemingly attempting to walk back the explosive claim. Another tweet that Trump has deleted is where he apparently supported Trump's impeachment as President and that JD Vance should replace him as the US President. In now-deleted posts, Musk claimed Trump was linked to the infamous child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, alleging, “That is the real reason [the Epstein files] have not been made public.” He added, “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”Musk’s sudden deletion of the posts suggests an attempt to de-escalate, but the fallout from the accusation continues to reverberate. The public awaits further developments in this high-stakes clash between two of the nation’s most influential figures.

How Donald Trump vs Elon Musk fight started and then exploded

The clash stems from Musk’s opposition to Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” a controversial proposal that includes historic cuts to Medicaid and food assistance programs while eliminating electric vehicle tax credits that benefit Musk’s Tesla.The spat began when Musk, objecting to the bill’s impact on his company’s bottom line, launched a relentless social media campaign to derail it. His posts created a rift among Republicans, who need near-unanimous party support to pass the legislation. Trump, irritated by Musk’s dissent, fired back with pointed jabs, prompting Musk to go nuclear. During a press conference, Trump expressed disappointment with the Tesla CEO, attributing Musk’s opposition to the bill’s proposed cuts to electric-vehicle (EV) tax credits. “I’m very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here,” Trump told reporters. “All of a sudden, he had a problem, and he only developed a problem when he found out we’re going to have to cut the EV mandate.”Musk fired back in real time, posting rebuttals on Twitter as Trump spoke. He wrote, “Such ingratitude,” highlighting his significant financial support for Republicans during the 2024 election. “Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House, and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate,” Musk claimed.
