Trump-Musk Feud Erupts Publicly Over Big Beautiful Bill

The political alliance between President Trump and Elon Musk collapsed in a public feud spanning June 5-7, 2025. Musk criticized Trump signature One Big Beautiful Bill Act for its price tag and national debt impact, triggering a cascading exchange. Trump said he was disappointed in Musk and that their relationship was over. Musk responded by claiming Trump was in the Epstein files and reposted calls for impeachment. Steve Bannon called for Musks deportation. Trump said Musk had gone CRAZY and threatened consequences if he funded Democratic candidates. The feud began with Musks departure from DOGE on May 30 and escalated when he attacked the spending bill publicly. Musk later apologized on June 11, but reignited attacks in late June and announced the America Party. The two eventually reunited at Charlie Kirks memorial service in September 2025.
