Elon Musk’s Father Claims PTSD, Regrets Trump Alliance in Moscow

Elon Musk's father, Errol Musk, has publicly stated that Elon regrets his involvement in helping President Trump get reelected and is experiencing what he described as "White House PTSD" after a turbulent stint as a White House adviser. Their alliance, which included Musk reportedly donating $288 million to Trump's 2024 campaign, fell apart amid a fierce public feud sparked by Musk's criticism of Trump's tax and spending legislation and controversial claims linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, which Musk later deleted. Errol Musk characterized the fallout as similar to a "marriage going wrong," suggesting Elon was overwhelmed by the political arena and believed Trump, as the duly elected president, would ultimately prevail. President Trump has dismissed any hopes of reconciliation, stating he has no intention of speaking to Musk again and accusing him of having "lost his mind." Elon Musk's public disputes with Trump have included threats and reversals around federal contracts and space program operations. Despite the conflict, Errol Musk expressed optimism that the two could eventually resolve their differences, attributing much of the tension to stress and fatigue on both sides.
