On June 8, 2025, the ongoing feud between Elon Musk and the Trump administration reached a new peak, as reported through various online sources. President Donald Trump publicly stated he has no interest in reconciling with Musk, warning of “serious consequences” if the billionaire funds Democratic candidates in future elections. This statement came during an interview, where Trump also labeled Musk as “very disrespectful” to the office of the president, marking a sharp decline from their previously close alliance. The conflict intensified after Musk’s criticism of Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” a major legislative package, which he has called a “disgusting abomination” due to its projected $2.4 trillion addition to the national debt over 10 years, according to Congressional Budget Office estimates. Musk, who recently stepped away from his role as a Trump adviser, has been vocal on X, engaging thousands of users with his posts, including a now-deleted claim linking Trump to the Jeffrey Epstein files. In response, Trump threatened to terminate government contracts with Musk’s companies, such as SpaceX, which could impact billions in federal funding. The White House, through press secretary Karoline Leavitt, dismissed Musk’s Epstein remarks as an “unfortunate episode” tied to his dissatisfaction with the bill. The public spat has generated over 10,000 mentions on X within 24 hours, reflecting significant online engagement, with no resolution in sight as of 10:20 PM CEST.
