Musk and Trump feud takes a surprising twist
Elon Musk shared unexpected comments about US President Donald Trump after their clash over the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’.
Billionaire Elon Musk appears to have set aside his differences with US President Donald Trump, praising him for resolving several major global conflicts.
In a post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, South Africa-born Musk said he would give credit where it’s due. He was responding to a message shared by Trump on Truth Social, which read that Trump’s representatives had had a” long and productive meeting with the Israelis today [Tuesday] on Gaza”.
“Israel has agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize the 60-Day ceasefire, during which time we will work with all parties to end the war. The Qataris and Egyptians, who have worked very hard to help bring peace, will deliver this final proposal. I hope, for the good of the Middle East, that Hamas takes this deal, because it will not get better,” wrote Trump.
TRUMP THREATENS TO ‘DEPORT’ MUSK
Earlier, the two clashed over the Big Beautiful Bill, which the US Senate passed on Tuesday. Musk had strongly opposed the bill, but Trump claimed that Musk knew about it before endorsing him for president.
“Elon may get more subsidy than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa. No more rocket launches, satellites, or electric car production, and our country would save a fortune,” Trump shared.
The US president also added that perhaps the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) should investigate Musk, claiming that lots of money could be saved.
MUSK CALLS REPUBLICANS A ‘PORKY PIG PARTY’
Before his unexpected praise for Trump, Musk had criticised the Republican Party on X, calling it a “Porky Pig Party” over its support of the new bill. He warned that the legislation would raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion and described it as “debt slavery”.
He also floated the idea that it might be time to form a new political party, accusing the Republicans of failing to act in the interests of American citizens.
