Elon Musk And Donald Trump To Meet After
Elon Musk and Donald Trump are set to meet on June 6 following a heated online feud sparked by Musk’s accusation that Trump appears in the sealed Jeffrey Epstein files. Their falling out began after Musk stepped down from his political advisory role and publicly criticized Trump’s spending bill, calling it excessive and wasteful. Trump expressed disappointment in Musk’s comments, while Musk escalated tensions by posting explosive claims on social media, alleging Trump’s presence in the Epstein documents and promising future revelations.
The White House, through Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, labeled the dispute an “unfortunate episode,” suggesting Musk was upset over the bill not aligning with his interests. Despite the public fallout, there are efforts to reconcile, with hedge fund manager Bill Ackman urging them to unite for the country’s benefit—a sentiment Musk acknowledged. Musk’s followers also voiced extreme opinions online, including calls for Trump’s impeachment and Musk taking over, which Musk encouraged. Despite the conflict, both parties appear willing to meet and possibly resolve their differences for the sake of national unity.
