Trump-Musk Feud Sparks Global, Financial Fallout

A public feud has erupted between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, escalating after Musk posted—and later deleted—unsubstantiated claims that Trump was named in Jeffrey Epstein files and called for Trump's impeachment. These accusations were denied by Trump’s allies, including Epstein's former lawyer and Vice President JD Vance, who dismissed them as baseless. The dispute reportedly started over Musk's criticism of Trump's 'One Big Beautiful Bill,' deemed fiscally irresponsible, which led Trump to threaten Musk’s government contracts. The fallout from the feud has caused a sharp drop in Tesla's share price and prompted public calls for reconciliation from business and political leaders. Internationally, the conflict has drawn attention, with Russian officials offering support to Musk and the EU inviting him to expand operations in Europe. Despite Musk's deletion of the controversial posts, tensions between the two figures remain high.
