The internet lit up this week after Elon Musk ignited a firestorm by going after President Donald Trump—and then quickly backed down.
What started as a disagreement over Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” (OBBB)—a sweeping tax and trade reform plan aimed at supercharging American manufacturing, reducing the deficit, and cutting off the globalist money faucet—turned into something far darker.
The feud escalated when Musk, in a now-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter), accused Trump of being involved in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
Musk wrote on X, “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”
He continued, “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”
Musk even shared a decades-old video of President Trump speaking briefly with Epstein at a Mar-a-Lago party in 1992—footage that has circulated for years and proves absolutely nothing.
Musk calmed down Thursday night after going off on Trump in several nasty posts on X. Responding to a poster with (at the time) 184 followers who pleaded with Musk to “cool off” in response to Musk posting as part of his fight with Trump he would decommission the Dragon space capsule relied on by NASA to shuttle astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station, Musk said, “Good advice. Ok, we won’t decommission Dragon.”
A few minutes later Musk responded positively to a plea for peace by Bill Ackman who posted, “I support @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk and they should make peace for the benefit of our great country. We are much stronger together than apart.”
Just as suddenly as the posts appeared, they vanished. By early Saturday morning, Musk’s tweet had been deleted.
