Summary

  • On Truth Social, President Trump has accused Elon Musk of knowing that the Big Beautiful Bill to eliminate EV tax credits would be passed in secret, and not being happy about it — perhaps because it could impact Musk’s government contracts.
  • In response, on Musk’s own social network, X, Musk has admitted that he lobbied hard for the passing of the bill, but claimed that it was done in secret and that Trump would have lost the election were it not for Musk’s support.
  • Musk has also alleged that Trump’s links to Jeffrey Epstein are the real reason why the files haven’t been released, and claimed that this could be grounds for Trump to strip him of his citizenship and deport him to South Africa.
  • Meanwhile, Trump has threatened to revoke Musk’s government contracts, and Musk has announced that SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft, which carries cargo and crew to the International Space Station.
