Errol Musk Addresses Musk-Trump Dispute, Praises Putin at Moscow Forum

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker used his Knox College commencement address to deliver critical remarks aimed at Elon Musk and the Trump administration, highlighting Musk's dismissive attitude toward the U.S. Constitution and questioning the Trump administration's acceptance of a foreign jumbo jet potentially used for spying. Meanwhile, Elon Musk and President Donald Trump have been engaged in a public dispute following Musk's harsh criticism of Trump's tax and spending bill and calls for his impeachment, prompting Trump to threaten to cancel government contracts with Musk's companies. Elon Musk's father, Errol Musk, speaking from Moscow at a pro-Putin conference, described the conflict as a result of stress and insisted it would end soon, urging for a break and compromise while praising Russian President Vladimir Putin and criticizing Western media. The conference, organized by a Kremlin-connected oligarch, featured several Western speakers and Russian officials, reflecting Moscow's strategic effort to influence opinion in Trump’s America amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. Errol Musk's comments underscore the complex interplay between personal, political, and international dynamics surrounding the Musk-Trump feud. Despite the public acrimony, Elon Musk expressed hope for reconciliation with President Trump, viewing the dispute as temporary.
