President Donald Trump’s feud with Elon Musk has escalated in recent days. The two men, once seen as allies, are now engaged in a heated exchange on social media. Musk appears to have deleted several incendiary posts on his platform, X, including one that accused Trump of being linked to Jeffrey Epstein.
The White House has strongly denied these allegations. The reasons behind Musk’s deletions are unclear. However, they come after a week of intense back-and-forth between the tech mogul and the president.
In one instance, Musk responded “yes” to a user who called for Trump’s impeachment. That post was also removed by Saturday morning.
Musk deletes incendiary social media posts
Ohio Senator J.D. Vance weighed in on the feud during an interview. He suggested that Musk was making a “huge mistake” by going after Trump. Vance described Musk’s actions as those of an “emotional guy” who got frustrated.
The White House has not yet commented on Musk’s deleted posts. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed Musk’s allegations against Trump. She referenced Musk’s dissatisfaction with recent legislative actions by the administration.
This marks another twist in the relationship between Musk and Trump. The dispute seems to have been worsened by Musk’s opposition to Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”
Musk criticized the bill for not including policies he favored. As this story continues to develop, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold between the two powerful figures.
