Elon Musk Deletes Donald Trump 'Epstein Bombshell' Post On X, Big Hint Of Possible Truce With US President?

Washington: Elon Musk, billionaire entrepreneur, has deleted his Epstein bombshell post on X in which he claimed that Donald Trump's name was in those controversial files saying that's why the government was not releasing them.

On June 5, Elon Musk dropped a really big bomb on Donald Trump when he claimed that the US President was in the Epstein Files and that was the reason why they were not releasing them. In another post, Musk added, “mark his words… the truth will come out."

However, two days after Musk's rift with former close aide erupted out in open when two among world's most influential people humiliated each other on social media, the deletion of Tesla CEO's explosive post on X against Donald Trump sparked speculations if whether a reconciliation was underway with the US President. Take a look at what Elon Musk had posted on June 5. 

From friends to foe, what led to Trump-Musk showdown?

It all started after differences erupted between Donald Trump and Elon Musk over US President's Congressional spending bill. After Musk exited the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), he fumed over Trump's spending bill terming it outrageous. He claimed that the Bill will further put the US in more debt, something which was totally against what the people of United States had voted for. 

On X, Musk wrote, “I'm sorry, but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: You know you did wrong. You know it.”

Trump threatens to snatch government subsidies to Elon Musk

After Musk criticised Donald Trump, the US President took to his own social media platform Truth Social suggesting ways to reduce government spending and threatened that one way to do it was scrapping government subsidies to Elon Musk's SpaceX.

“The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn't do it,” Donald Trump said.

Speaking to media, Trump had also said that he was disappointed by the remarks of his former close aide. In some other posts on Truth Social, the US President further hit out at Musk saying, “Elon was “wearing thin,” I asked him to leave, I took away his EV mandate that forced everyone to buy electric cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went crazy.”

Trump continued Musk bashing and added that he don't mind Elon turning against him but he should have done this some months ago.

“I don’t mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago. This is one of the Greatest Bills ever presented to Congress. It’s a record cut in expenses, $1.6 trillion dollars, and the biggest tax cut ever given. If this Bill doesn’t pass, there will be a 68 per cent tax increase, and things far worse than that. I didn’t create this mess, I’m just here to fix it. This puts our country on a path of greatness. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN,” the US President had posted on Truth Social.

Soon after Trump's threat to cut government subsidies, Elon Musk had hit back at Trump saying he would decommission his Dragon spacecraft immediately.

Elon Musk went even further and put out a poll on X asking users whether he should float a new political party. “Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?” Musk posted.
