Have Trump and Musk Been Persuaded to End Their Feud?

White House aides scrambled to arrange peace talks Thursday after President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's vicious public spat threatened to derail the president's signature legislative agenda, Politico reported.
Aides had arranged a private call for Friday, according to the outlet, though a senior White House official told The Daily Caller that while Musk "has expressed interest in a phone call, the President does not intend to speak to Musk today." Staff reportedly prodded Trump to avoid insults and act tactfully, arguing a skirmish with the world's richest man would only distract Republicans he still needs to muscle the multi-trillion-dollar package across the finish line, while Musk hinted at reconciliation after hedge fund titan Bill Ackman publicly begged the two men to "make peace for the benefit of our country."
"Oh it's OK," Trump told Politico, responding to a question about the spat. "It's going very well, never done better ... the numbers are through the roof, the highest polls I've ever had and I have to go."
The president's nonchalant response Thursday marked a stark contrast to the ugly, days-long social media exchange that began when Musk blasted the "big beautiful bill's" projected $2.4 billion price tag as "pork-filled" and a "disgusting abomination" on Tuesday.
The SpaceX founder continued to unleash a barrage of posts attacking the legislation's fiscal impact, accusing Trump and congressional Republicans of abandoning conservative principles on government spending. Trump initially fired back with characteristic force -- branding Musk "CRAZY" and threatening to terminate the many federal subsidies and contracts his companies enjoy -- but White House staff successfully convinced him to temper his approach by Thursday afternoon, according to the outlet.
"I don't mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "This is one of the Greatest Bills ever presented to Congress ... I didn't create this mess, I'm just here to FIX IT. This puts our Country on a Path of Greatness."
The reconciliation signals became clearer when Ackman posted his peace plea on X, writing, "I support @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk and they should make peace for the benefit of our country."
"You're not wrong," Musk responded at around 9:30 Thursday night, hours after implying the president was implicated in Jeffrey Epstein's child sex trafficking ring, threatening to form a third party and suggesting Trump should be impeached.

7 Somehow Trump alienated the richest man in the world that gave his campaign $500 million dollars and was showering his wealth on Republican candidates.

Musks big crime was he wanted to actually cut federal spending.

Trump said it was all about electric car subsidies, which is bullshit, musk has called for ending these subsidies years ago. It just funds his competition.

13 The Washington Times - Friday, June 6, 2025

Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, called the conflict that erupted between his son and President Trump as two “elephant bulls or alphas having a go at each other.”

The elder Mr. Musk thinks that the high-profile fight between the two men will eventually subside, but said he believes that his son’s allegation that the president is included in the files related to Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased banker and sex offender, was a bad move.

“I have no idea what he was thinking,” he said during an interview with Al Arabiya English.

29 Elon really should have stuck to attacking congressional Republicans who packed so much spending into the bill. It avoids a direct break with Trump, MAGA will happily agree with him on that, and it might have intimidated a couple into playing ball. Not saying Trump doesn't bear a lot of responsibility--he very much does--but publicly going after him in this manner was never going to pay off.

Ackshully, Musk's big crime was getting pissy about the BBB not doing what it is prohibited by law from doing. Musk, much like Trump 1.0, thinks that you should just be able to do things good for the country. But you can't. And unless you're planning on advocating for suspending both Congress and the Courts and ruling as a God-Emperor, you have limitations.

58 I don't think Trump articulated the machinations that go on with Congress and the convoluted budget processes to Musk in terms he could understand. I also think Musk had reasonable, but unobtainable aspirations with regards to his DOGE work. Both fell short on defining the cans and can nots with each position.

Had Musk known that all the waste fraud and abuses DOGE uncovered would be news, but not necessarily become policy he might have been more circumspect.

Had Trump articulated how his BBB supposedly is really a big deal there may have been no reason to piss all over each other for 24 hours.

In a public war, dropping a nuke is a good strategy to try against Trump. No one's really done it before. Trump will always go lower, meaner, nastier, so Elon decided to go as low as possible first. That's my read.

The other side to this is when the meltdown ends, the autistic person is over it completely and they struggle understanding why the person who was at the other end of their meltdown isn’t over it the way they are.

145 In case you were wondering:

The Chicken Tax, a 25% tariff (tax) levied by the American government on imported brandy, dextrin, potato starch, and light vehicles like the Toyota Hilux, prevents you from purchasing a Toyota Hilux at the moment. The Hilux wouldn’t be subject to that tariff if Toyota constructed it here in America like many other Toyota models, enabling Toyota to sell it for a reasonable price. The Hilux would become uncompetitive in the market for compact pickup trucks as a result of the levy.

That's the same thing. You're suggesting - obviously hyperbolically - that Trump should overthrow the government since Congress is permitting the interference from the courts. Then what? Now we live in a dictatorship which is more likely to be pragmatic about things but, eventually, will change to the point where it'll line you up against a wall and shoot you for looking at it funny.

The situation with the courts sucks but that's life and sometimes grownups have to endure things that suck. Hopefully TJM is correct and it'll all come out in the wash.

163 When you’re on a team, you act in the interests of the team. You find a way to best achieve the mission using all of your skills. You decide a course of action and you move forward. Together. Even if you had reservations you put them aside and you keep going forward towards the common objective.

You never move against the team. You never undermine its members. You settle your disputes in private, even if it’s with fists.

Musk broke a lot of cardinal rules in this process and I think the only team he is on is his own.

>>In case you were wondering:

There are a couple of other reasons the Hilux will never be sold in America besides the chicken tax, safety standards, emission standards, and Toyota sells two of the most popular pickup Trucks in the US.

Also, a little known fact is that when Toyota first came to America in the 50's they were forced to make a deal with distribution groups and enter into a very lop-sided distribution agreement, they don't make a lot on cars they sell in the US.

The Hilux is never coming to America, ever. So if you want a small pickup, the Ford Maverick or Slate is it for the forseeable future.

Correct. And I think Musk really thought he could buy Donald off for $200 million in campaign ads or whatever he said he spent.

And I think Donald said "wrong."

And now Musk is realizing he's been had.

Although, frankly, he wasn't had. Politicians shouldn't be able to be bought off by big donors, no matter what foreign-born Elon Musk thinks about our political system here. This isn't South Africa.

That said, he's obviously not completely wrong, but you don't say that part out loud. And Trump is a bit of a wildcard. And also there are a lot of other special interests and donors other than Musk that Trump has to deal with.

Musk is successful because he is a disrupter, which is different than being disruptive, most of the time at least. He pushes, he dictates, he doesn’t allow for no. If you aren’t on his bus, you are under it. It is the same culture in every single company he has founded. He doesn’t get you can’t do this very same thing in government, it’s not built to allow for this type of “do it and if you here to tell me why you can’t, I will find someone else who will” leadership style. I am not sure his brain works any other way, though.

I don't believe that the lie detector thing could be implemented. Judges don't work for the Executive and cannot be compelled to answer questions. It'll look bad? Why would they care? The Senate will never vote to remove them.

I suspect that someone would slap an injunction on moving busloads of illegals to judge's neighborhoods in about 3 seconds. Then you're right back to obey or not.

246 Musk is successful because he is a disrupter, which is different than being disruptive, most of the time at least. He pushes, he dictates, he doesn’t allow for no. If you aren’t on his bus, you are under it. It is the same culture in every single company he has founded. He doesn’t get you can’t do this very same thing in government, it’s not built to allow for this type of “do it and if you here to tell me why you can’t, I will find someone else who will” leadership style. I am not sure his brain works any other way, though.
Posted by: Piper at June 06, 2025 04:08 PM (aT5K/)

Yeah, that's about right.

I'd phrase it slightly differently, but I think Elon is used to being a tyrannical dictator, and it has worked for him while making him a lot of enemies.

But I think only someone mentally ill can go through life like that, leaving a wake of destruction behind them and say "well, hey, but at least I built a successful company."

And the world needs people like that, even if everyone around them hates them.

That said, he should be nowhere near the levers of power.

Men should find decent women and make them life partners instead of studding around like Elon. Story of Jay Moloney, Hollywood superagent who never got out of his coke-and-starlets phase, lost his career to addiction, and hanged himself on his 35th birthday. The friends who watched him descend pointed out that he never built a solid relationship or made long-term emotional investments in any humans. This is what happens when men get their "dream" life of endless lays and no commitments.

We pretty much just quit and walked away from manned space exploration back in the 80s.

He's our tool. We can stash it inside the house while we use him and stash it in the outside shed other times. Either way the Dems can't do shit.

And keep on tying your party to a 100 time felon of human trafficking Dems. And wait till he starts confessing more stuff.

And of course why was this asshole so important to a Federal Judge, his daughter and all these attorneys that he came in from vacation and worked all night trying and failing to stop it?

Let your enemy make mistakes.

Yup, perpetuation of the species. Sound cold? Not at all.

Materialistically, it's a stepping stone to the universe. The technological advancements we will make just in colonizing Mars are unimaginable.

320 Men should find decent women and make them life partners instead of studding around like Elon. Story of Jay Moloney, Hollywood superagent who never got out of his coke-and-starlets phase, lost his career to addiction, and hanged himself on his 35th birthday. The friends who watched him descend pointed out that he never built a solid relationship or made long-term emotional investments in any humans. This is what happens when men get their "dream" life of endless lays and no commitments.

I agree, but what woman could deal with Elon as a husband?

Firstly, I don't know if he enjoys studding around, or if he could even sustain a marriage. And he's too much of a workaholic.

I couldn't bear my husband sleeping on the floor of his office instead of by my side.

How old, of what? Get the records retirement logs. The morons probably left a gondola full of records and told the lowest level employee to log contents and ship it off (to the mountain caves).

I'm serious. Records retirement is the bane of all federal agencies, and records and tapes lying somewhere is common. It's a pita, no one wants legal responsibility

Significantly less gravity which does bad things to you over time. Absolute vacuum as opposed to low pressure atmosphere which makes air seals more difficult. Any cataclysm which destroyed the Earth would likely also destroy the moon.

You both are correct. Elon is a one off. a Perspective: he has the genius gene, the more children from him the greater the odds the gene will be passed as dominant. I think that's in his mind.
In this era of low birth rate and soi bois him being with women and being a father is motivational. Much better than porn.

There is nothing greater in this world than the family, a mother running the household and father providing for the family, with children.

Elon trashed Trump's bill, in favor of a mythical giant spending cut that has ZERO chance of passing either house of Congress and Trump shot some zingers at Elon. Upset he's losing EV credits, wanted to pick the new head of NASA, etc. All said kind of tongue in cheek.

Considering that Trump specifically mentioned his govt contracts, I have to wonder whether is has to do with Musk's team (which I figure is chock-full of barking mad leftists) doing various things regarding space (Starship & Space Force). Note that Starship has been having problems lately. It always makes me wonder if somebody on the team might be sabotaging things, or simply not putting in the same effort they used to.

Regardless, it's surprising to me how few people seem to recognize how fake this "feud" is. Moreso than the Trump/DeSantis "feud", I'd say.

I wouldn't be surprised.

Of course Trump IS in the Epstein files - he helped in one of the prosecutions! He knows that, and he knows what it sounds like, so he knows it will be irresistible to the media. Musk even says "the truth will come out", which of course means that it will come out that Trump was working against Epstein even long ago.

It's genius, really. They must have reasons why they want to make it look like there's distance between Trump & Musk, and this is the perfect way to do it.

Exactly.

But the REAL question is "Why is Musk in such a hurry?"

He says he's worried about the Sun expanding, and swallowing up Earth. As far as I know, that's millions of years away, and Mars would be next anyway.

He's also said he's worried that CO2 levels will eventually make the air on Earth unbreathable. Supposedly, he's a super smart guy, but that's just retarded.

So, again, why does he REALLY seem to be in such a hurry?

342 Karen Read trial update:

Crash Daddy Wolfe testified today, displaying video of car/arm collisions and discussing damage to the tail light. Summary: a body did not cause damage consistent with the evidence.
(Interestingly, the inner diffuser had damage, but could not be reproduced - like maybe a hammer caused it.)

Cross by the Commonwealth was pathetic. Hank Brennan looked more like an idiot.

Redirect started, and will continue Monday.

Then, Crash Daddy Rentschler will testify about the damage done to a body by the Lexus.

These guys were originally hired by the FBI, and were available to both sides, but only the defense used them in the furst trial, because this is a frame job and would hurt the State's case.
