Trump-Musk Feud: From Spending Bill to Epstein Accusations

Trump-Musk Feud Explodes: Billionaire's Criticism, Epstein Accusations, and the President's Response Washington, D.C. - A significant public dispute has erupted between US President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk. The conflict began when Musk publicly condemned Trump's recently passed Congressional spending bill, calling it a "disgusting abomination." This sparked a rapid response from President Trump, who, during a meeting with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, expressed his disappointment with Musk, stating, "I'm very disappointed in Elon. I've helped Elon a lot." Musk countered Trump's statement by claiming it was a lie. The situation took another turn when Musk accused Trump of being connected to the Jeffrey Epstein files, a claim that is now under review by the FBI. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt described Musk's actions as an "unfortunate episode." The incident highlights the complex relationship between the President and a prominent figure in the business world, and raises questions about the ongoing investigation into the Epstein files.
