Trump, Musk Feud Intensifies Over Epstein, Tax Bill

A public feud has erupted between former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, with tensions escalating after Musk criticized Trump's tax bill for increasing national debt and ending electric vehicle tax credits. Trump responded by asserting that the legislation offers historic tax cuts and suggested Musk's opposition is due to the loss of government subsidies and contracts for his companies. The dispute intensified when Musk alleged on social media that Trump is named in unreleased Jeffrey Epstein files, an accusation Trump denied. Trump also stated he had asked Musk to leave his administration and revoked certain EV mandates. The spat has led Trump to threaten pulling government contracts from Musk's companies. Both continue to publicly exchange criticisms, marking a clear end to their prior cooperation.
