President Trump made it clear in a Fox News interview—he’s not picking up the phone for Elon Musk. After a week of social media sparring, Trump dismissed the Tesla CEO as someone who’s “totally lost it,” making it clear that the White House isn’t interested in mending fences just yet. The rift stems from Musk’s blistering critique of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill,” a major legislative package that includes historic spending cuts and the largest tax cut in U.S. history.
Musk’s Meltdown Over the Bill
Elon Musk didn’t just criticize the bill—he went nuclear. Calling it a “disgusting abomination,” Musk accused the legislation of being bloated and backwards, taking special aim at its removal of EV subsidies. He even implied, without evidence, that Trump’s name appeared in Epstein’s files—a move that shocked many and marked a line even Musk’s staunchest defenders hesitated to cross.
Trump Fires Back on Truth Social
Trump responded in classic fashion: publicly, bluntly, and unapologetically. On Truth Social, he said he “asked [Musk] to leave,” noting that Musk knew the EV mandate was on the chopping block for months and only erupted when it actually happened. “He just went CRAZY,” Trump wrote. In a follow-up post, Trump touted the bill as “one of the Greatest Bills ever presented to Congress,” warning that failing to pass it could trigger a 68% tax increase.
A Feud With Fallout
This feud isn’t just a Twitter spat—it’s a disruption in the conservative universe. This past year, Musk was the surprising ally to the MAGA movement, speaking out against censorship, government waste, and liberal overreach. But now, with Tesla’s government funding on the line, he’s lashing out. The irony? Both men are actually right—Trump’s bill is essential, and Musk’s concerns about debt and bureaucracy aren’t wrong. But the way Musk went about it? It was a tactical mistake.
Musk’s Political Ambitions Stir the Pot
Adding fuel to the fire, Musk floated the idea of forming a new political party—a move seen by many as more of a warning shot than a serious plan. Trump, unfazed, brushed it off by pointing to solid poll numbers and strong GOP support. Meanwhile, insiders report that while Trump himself won’t be making contact, some aides might try to de-escalate behind the scenes.
They’re Better Together
Let’s be honest—MAGA was stronger when Musk and Trump were on the same team. Musk brought innovation and media disruption. Trump brought populist strength and policy boldness. The split may be dramatic, but it doesn’t have to be permanent. Musk may have bitten the hand that fed him, but even a tech genius should know—sometimes the smartest move is to patch things up.
Final Thoughts
This Trump Musk feud is more than just a beef between billionaires—it’s a stress test for the future of the conservative movement. Both men command massive influence, and both have contributed to dismantling the woke narrative in their own ways. If they bury the hatchet, they could reshape the political and tech landscape once again. For now, we’ll watch, we’ll wait—and we’ll hope.
