Following President Donald Trump and Elon Musk's very public falling-out, the former DOGE head may be looking to reconcile.

Musk remained a close ally to Trump during his campaign and through the beginning of his second term. However, signs of tension began to appear publicly toward the end of Musk's 130-day tenure as a special government employee.

Throughout the saga, Trump remained remarkably restrained.

Fault lines first emerged when Musk criticized Trump's "big, beautiful bill," a landmark piece of legislation that would codify many of the president's campaign promises. Musk first called the bill into question in May, saying he was "disappointed" with the amount of spending in it.

Although his critiques were relatively tame at first, they quickly devolved once he departed from the DOGE.

Musk poured fuel on the fire through a series of posts on his social media platform, X, starting in early June. The tech mogul decried the bill as an "outrageous, pork-filled ... disgusting abomination," shaming all 215 Republicans who voted to pass it in the House.

Republican leadership, like Speaker Mike Johnson (La.) and Majority Leader John Thune (S.D.), quickly came to Trump's defense, saying Musk was "terribly wrong" about the bill.

Despite the unification of Republicans behind the president, Musk continued to fan the flames with a series of online attacks.

Trump and other Republicans suggested that Musk's disapproval of the bill was due to a provision revoking tax credits for electric vehicles that his business Tesla has benefited from. Trump also said that Musk has had access to the legislation for a while and questioned why he waited until after the legislation passed the House to criticize it.

"False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!" Musk said in response.

Musk went on to claim that Trump would have lost without his support, predicted the tariffs will cause a recession, suggested Trump should be impeached, and accused the president of being "in the Epstein files."

No shot. We know Epstein had Trump's phone number; White House 47 released that publicly too. If there was any more to it, Biden and the Democrat DOJ would have 1000% released it. https://t.co/bKtE1whMxK

Throughout the saga, Trump remained remarkably restrained. Trump addressed Musk's comments a few times, saying he wished him well but that he was "not particularly" interested in talking to Musk.

Since then, Musk has deleted many of his posts, including those calling for impeachment and suggesting Trump was part of the Epstein conspiracy. In fact, Musk has gone back to posting on his social media platform as if nothing happened, leaving some to speculate that he may be trying to mend his relationship with the president.

Musk is back to retweeting Vice President JD Vance, posting American flags in support of the administration, and even posting Trump's Truth Social posts on his page. One post shows Musk replying to Trump with a heart emoji, a far cry from the accusatory comments he made just days before.

"It’s outrageous how much character assassination has been directed at me, especially by me!" Musk joked.

Although Musk has yet to make a public apology to the president, it seems as though he is attempting to take a more reconciliatory approach. We will have to wait and see if it's enough for the two political heavyweights to make amends or if Musk's fall from grace will be permanent.

The only Trump-Musk feud timeline you'll need

Social media erupted this week when President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk took to their respective accounts on Truth Social and X, clashing over their views on the “one big, beautiful bill” in Congress. The arguments escalated and took some very surprising turns that left the world agape.

While debates have been ongoing throughout the week, the feud between Trump and Musk truly began at 1:31 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday when Musk posted: “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.”

On Wednesday at 1:59 p.m., Trump reposted Musk’s post from May 28: “As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending. The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.”

Thursday morning, Trump gave his reaction to the growing feud: “I’m very disappointed, because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here. He had no problem with it. All of a sudden he had a problem, and he only developed a problem when he found out that we’re gonna have to cut the EV mandate.”

Trump went on to say in his statement, “He hasn’t said anything bad about me, but I’m sure that will be next. I’m very disappointed in Elon. I’ve helped Elon a lot.” He also suggested that many people, and perhaps including Musk, develop a case of “Trump derangement syndrome” when they leave his administration: “Some of them embrace it, and some of them actually become hostile.”

Thursday, 12:25 p.m.: Musk replied to a post with more footage of Trump’s statement and directly refuted Trump’s claim that he knew the “inner workings” of the bill. “False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!”

Piers Morgan took to X when Musk posted this claim: “BREAKING: Elon calls President Trump a liar. Wow.”

Thursday, 12:46 p.m.: Musk also responded to Trump’s claim in his news release that he would have won regardless of Musk's involvement: “Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate.”

“Such ingratitude,” he added.

Thursday, 1:57 p.m.: Musk posted a poll in which he asked: “Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?” The poll received over 2.4 million votes in the first five hours and topped 5.3 million votes on Friday morning.

Thursday, 2:37 p.m.: Trump posted on his Truth Social account: “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!”

At the same time, Trump posted: “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!”

Thursday, 2:48 p.m.: Elon responded to an account that posted a screenshot of Trump’s post roughly 10 minutes later: “Such an obvious lie. So sad.”

Thursday, 3:10 p.m.: Elon Musk made the most incendiary comment of the feud: “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!”

“Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out,” Musk added.

Musk’s original statement about the Epstein files took the internet by storm. At 3:31 p.m., BlazeTV host Auron MacIntyre responded, saying, “Only two real options here. 1) This is true and Elon knowingly covered for a man he is accusing of being a pedophile 2) This is a lie and Elon is committing serious libel while cheapening the serious nature [of] trafficking minors. Neither are great.”

Blaze News senior politics editor Christopher Bedford took a different approach: “No shot. We know Epstein had Trump's phone number; White House 47 released that publicly too. If there was any more to it, Biden and the Democrat DOJ would have 1000% released it.”

Thursday, 4:06 p.m.: Trump posted: “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% 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!”

Thursday, 4:11 p.m.: Musk also seemingly signaled his agreement with one user on X who said, “Trump should be impeached and JD Vance should replace him.”

In response to one of Trump’s statements posted as a screenshot on X, Musk announced: “In light of the President’s statement about cancellation of my government contracts, @SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately.” The post appears to have been taken down.

Thursday, 4:24 p.m.: Blaze Media editor in chief Matthew Peterson summed up the confusion of the day: “It was ***inevitable*** Trump and Elon would clash, of course — but this is dumb shite all around and I am almost sure that this level of blow up could have been avoided. ... Whatever is really going on — whatever really led to…this…is what people want to know now.”

Thursday, 4:26 p.m.: Musk later posted, “The Trump tariffs will cause a recession in the second half of this year.”

Thursday, 4:43 p.m.: Musk reposted one user’s post of a video with the caption: “In 1992 Trump partied with Jeffrey Epstein. Just gonna leave this here.” The video features Trump at his mansion in Mar-a-Lago, throwing a party. It also captures Jeffrey Epstein’s arrival at the party and a conversation between them.

Thursday, 4:48 p.m.: Following Musk’s declaration about the Dragon spacecraft, NASA press secretary Bethany Stevens commented on X: “NASA will continue to execute upon the President’s vision for the future of space. We will continue to work with our industry partners to ensure the President’s objectives in space are met.”

Thursday, 5:30 p.m.: Bill Ackman posted a message on X: "I support @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk and they should make peace for the benefit of our great country. We are much stronger together than apart."

Thursday, 8:04 p.m.: JD Vance posted a picture of himself with comedian Theo Von with the caption, “Slow news day, what are we even going to talk about? @TheoVon.”

Thursday, 9:20 p.m.: Musk walked back his statement about decommissioning the Dragon spacecraft.

Thursday, 9:27 p.m.: Elon Musk replied "you're not wrong" to Bill Ackman's call for peace, signaling the possibility of a reconciliation between the two men in the future.

Friday, 7:42 a.m.: An ABC News reporter broke the news about a phone conversation he had had with President Trump: "In a phone conversation this morning, @realDonaldTrump told me @elonmusk is 'the man who has lost his mind.' Trump did not, however, seem angry or even concerned about the feud. As for reports that there is going to be a Trump/Musk call scheduled for today, Trump told me he is 'not particularly' interested in talking to Musk although he says Musk wants to talk to him.”

Friday, 9:41 a.m.: The New York Post reported Trump plans to get rid of the Tesla he bought in support of Musk. The Tesla Model S will either be “given away” or “sold off,” according to Peter Doocy on Fox News. Doocy went on to report that Musk had been “wearing thin” on Trump for “about a month.” The public feud that exploded on Thursday was a small part of a longer period of disagreement.

On Friday morning, Fox News reported that Trump said that “Elon’s totally lost it” and that he is not interested in speaking with him at this time. Trump is also reportedly “not worried” about Elon’s suggestion of forming a new political party.

Friday, 1:57 p.m.: Musk's poll closed just before 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on Friday with 5,630,775 votes, with 80.4% responding “Yes” and 19.6% responding “No.”

Elon Musk issues fiery statement against Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' — and the White House responds immediately

The White House wasted no time in responding to a fiery statement by tech billionaire Elon Musk against the president's "big, beautiful" spending bill on Tuesday.

In a missive on Tuesday, Musk ripped into the members of Congress who voted for the bill. President Donald Trump has been pushing for passage of the massive spending bill in order to press forward on his political agenda.

'This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination.'

"I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination," wrote Musk on the X platform.

"Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it," he added.

The statement was a shock to many after Musk battled public criticism for donating millions to the Trump campaign last year as well as heading up the Department of Government Efficiency after Trump took office. Musk stepped down from the position on Friday after his 130-day tenure as a special government employee ended.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked by Peter Doocy of Fox News to comment on the level of anger the president might have after hearing the comments from his billionaire ally.

"Look, the president already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill," she responded.

"It doesn't change the president's opinion," she added. "This is one big, beautiful bill, and Trump is sticking to it."

Here's video of Leavitt's response:

Trump commends Elon Musk as he departs from DOGE: 'Americans owe him a great debt of gratitude'

In an Oval Office press conference on Friday, President Donald Trump championed Elon Musk as he exits from DOGE.

During his 130-day tenure as a special government employee, Musk was charged with identifying and eliminating federal waste, fraud, and abuse. Trump commended Musk's work at DOGE, saying he has "changed the mindset of a lot of people."

"He's one of the greatest business leaders and innovators the world has ever produced," Trump said. "He stepped forward to put his very great talents into the service of our nation, and we appreciate it."

"Elon has worked tirelessly helping lead the most sweeping and consequential government reform in generations," Trump added.

'The DOGE team will only grow stronger over time. The DOGE influence will only grow stronger.'

Trump pointed to some of the savings DOGE has identified, including $59 million for "illegal alien hotel rooms" in New York City, $45 million for "DEI scholarships in Burma," $42 million in grants to Uganda, $20 million for "Arab Sesame Street," and $8 million for transgender experiments on mice.

Although Musk's time serving in an official capacity in the administration is coming to a close, both he and Trump said that DOGE will continue full steam ahead.

"This is not the end of DOGE, but really the beginning," Musk said.

"The DOGE team will only grow stronger over time," Musk added. "The DOGE influence will only grow stronger. ... I'm confident that over time, we will see a trillion dollars of savings."

Musk also said he will continue to work with the administration in an unofficial capacity as an adviser and as a friend to the president.

"He's all about the USA, and Americans owe him a great debt of gratitude," Trump said. "I just want to thank Elon for his time as special government employee. ... He really has changed the mindset of a lot of people."

Vance tells Glenn Beck Congress needs to 'get serious' about codifying DOGE cuts

While President Donald Trump greenlit a flurry of executive orders in the first 100 days of his second term, Congress has been struggling to keep up.

In the first few months of his presidency, only five bills from Congress have made it to Trump's desk and been signed into law. Meanwhile, Louisiana Republican Speaker Mike Johnson's "big, beautiful bill" has been the focal point of Capitol Hill drama with promises to codify the MAGA mandate Trump was overwhelmingly elected for.

Although the mandate is reflected in certain provisions in the bill, Vice President JD Vance himself said that Congress needs to do more to codify DOGE cuts and rein in spending.

'We're going to have to do it and get serious about it.'

.@VP Vance assures me major spending cuts are coming in the FINAL “Big, Beautiful Bill”:

“We’ve already had conversations with House leadership that we want to see some more significant efforts to rein in spending.”

“When I talk to @elonmusk and I talk to the DOGE folks, where… pic.twitter.com/CyyJRt1zZ4
— Glenn Beck (@glennbeck) May 15, 2025

"I will say the big, beautiful bill text just came out last week," Vance told Glenn Beck on "The Glenn Beck Program" Thursday. "That's going to change a lot from now until then. We've already had conversations with House leadership that we want to see some more significant efforts to rein in spending here."

"The president also believes, Glenn, and he's right about that, that if you cut the trade deficit or you raise revenue through tariffs, that you actually go a long way to making the country on a more sustainable fiscal pathway as well," Vance added. "But you're right. You can't do it without cutting domestic spending."

Up until this point, the United States has racked up over $36 trillion in national debt. Despite the desire from certain Republicans to actually control spending, Johnson's bill is expected to add roughly $3.3 trillion to the deficit through fiscal year 2034.

"We're going to have to do it and get serious about it," Vance told Beck. "We're making that as clear to congressional leaders as possible. But look, knock on wood here, I think that once we get the final package out of the House and the Senate, we're going to have something that's serious on budget-cutting."

Vance noted that one of the easiest ways to chip away at the nation's mounting debt is to begin by eliminating mismanaged spending and fraudulent benefits.

"What no one talks enough about, and when I talk to Elon, and I talk to the DOGE folks, where they think they're going to get the most cuts is in taking people, illegal aliens and other people, who are defrauding the Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security system," Vance added.

"Think about two people, right? A guy who's paid into Social Security for 40 years. Obviously we want that guy to get his Social Security benefits," Vance told Beck. "You compare that person to an illegal alien who's engaged in Medicaid fraud. Obviously we don't want that person to get their benefits."

Medicaid reform has been a hot-button issue as reconciliation talks escalate. In its current state, the bill amended work requirements so that ineligible recipients would have a harder time defrauding the Medicaid system, protecting vulnerable people the service was intended for. Although this is a step in the right direction, some Republicans say it doesn't go far enough and have pointed out that the changes won't be enforced until 2029, after Trump has left office.

"I think Democrats are going to fight us on this, but this is such an important point," Vance added. "We cannot allow people to defraud the Medicare and Medicaid system, or it's going to bankrupt this country. It's also just fundamentally unfair."

Leftists burn Teslas in $43M astroturf protest

While left-wing protesters are burning Tesla electric cars to “save democracy,” others are doing research to understand whether these protesters are just dumb or if they’re being paid.

And it appears it’s the latter.

Stu Burguiere of “Stu Does America” has found some receipts from reporter Asra Nomani, and they’re not pretty.

“I went to the Tysons, Va., #TeslaTakedown protest on Tyco Road for @FairfaxTimes last Saturday, locals calling on America to ‘deport @elonmusk,’ and saw familiar faces from local Democratic Party activism,” Nomani wrote in a post on X.

“I documented identical messaging to protests nationwide and then built a @DPearlProject database of 304 protests that reveals that indeed the protests are more Astro Turf than ‘grassroots,’” she added.

Nomani continued on to say that while these protests appear “spontaneous,” they’re actually the product of “well-funded, tightly coordinated campaigns led by national political organizations like the Indivisible Project, MoveOn.org, and professional protest firms.”

“These groups use digital platforms, pre-scripted chants, pre-printed signs, and nationwide toolkits to manufacture the appearance of grassroots activism, and the messages on Tyco Road mirror the language of protests nationwide,” she said, noting that this is called “AstroTurfing.”

Nomani found that 100% of the groups and individuals who organized the protests were allied with the Democratic Party, only 15 organizations and their affiliates are behind the protests nationwide, and the most involved groups promoting the #TeslaTakedown protests have combined revenues of at least $43.1 million.

“‘Oh, it’s just the average person,’” Stu mocks. “Just the average person and their $43 million dollars.”

'A real winner': Vance goes to war online with liberal defenders of mistakenly deported MS-13 member

The Trump administration deported multiple planeloads of suspected terrorists to El Salvador on March 15 to be imprisoned in the southern nation's Terrorism Confinement Center. Attorneys for the government confirmed in a Monday court filing that one of the illegal aliens sent packing was removed "because of an administrative error."

An article in the Atlantic concerning the accidental deportation apparently left certain bleeding-heart liberals with the impression that the deportee was an "innocent father" betrayed by his adoptive government.

Vice President JD Vance rained on liberal critics' grief parade, pointing out they were rending garments over the deportation of a foreign national found by more than one immigration court to be a "danger to the community" and a member of the terrorist organization Mara Salvatrucha.

Vance's suggestion that it was imprudent to throw a conniption over Kilmar Abrego Garcia's ouster prompted the critics to rage even more.

Background

After stealing into the U.S. illegally and without inspection in 2011, Salvadoran national Abrego Garcia traveled to Maryland, where his older brother lived.

Justice Department attorneys indicated that in March 2019, Abrego Garcia was summoned to appear in removal proceedings. During a bond hearing, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement stated that a confidential informant flagged Abrego Garcia as an active member of MS-13. The illegal alien's bond was denied with the court reportedly finding "that Abrego Garcia was a danger to the community."

'The Respondent is a gang member, and the Respondent has failed to present evidence to rebut that assertion.'

Abrego Garcia appealed that decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals, where an immigration judge determined in April 2019 that "the determination that the Respondent is a gang member appears to be trustworthy and is supported by other evidence in the record."

"The fact that a 'past, proven, and reliable source of information' verified the Respondent's gang membership, rank, and gang name is sufficient to support that the Respondent is a gang member, and the Respondent has failed to present evidence to rebut that assertion," wrote the judge, adding that Abrego Garcia was a flight risk.

Lawyers for Abrego Garcia claim that the gang label is false; however, Justice Department attorneys underscored Monday that "Abrego Garcia is barred from disputing that, as a member of the criminal gang MS-13, he is a danger to the community."

Although Abrego Garcia was found removable, he successfully secured a form of relief called withholding of removal in October 2019. The immigration judge responsible apparently agreed that Abrego Garcia had adequately established he would face persecution by Salvadoran gangs back home upon his return.

Unlike asylum, a foreign national granted withholding of removal is denied a path to citizenship, cannot petition to bring family members into the country, and cannot leave the country with an expectation of readmission. The American Immigration Council noted that unlike asylum, this form of relief also does not provide a recipient with a path to permanent residence or with permanent protection.

In their complaint demanding that the Trump administration ask El Salvador for Abrego Garcia's return, lawyers for the illegal alien alleged that on March 12, ICE officers in Baltimore notified Abrego Garcia that his "status has changed" then arrested him.

Government attorneys indicated that after his detention, Abrego Garcia was questioned about his gang affiliations, transferred to a detention center in Texas, then, "because of an administrative error," removed to El Salvador.

The Trump administration has argued that American courts lack jurisdiction to order Abrego Garcia's return back from El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center.

White knights

Just as liberals rushed to bemoan the Trump administration's plan to deport Jeanette Vizguerra, a Mexican fugitive who stole into the U.S. illegally and was criminally convicted for using fake documents, they saw in Abrego Garcia another lost cause worth championing.

Former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau shared a link to the Atlantic article on X, writing, "Any comment on this, @marcorubio? How about you, @JDVance? @elonmusk? You just admitted to accidentally sending an innocent father from Maryland to a torture dungeon in El Salvador. And you refuse to do anything about it."

Favreau said in a subsequent tweet, "This is f***ing monstrous."

'The entire American media is going to run a propaganda operation today.'

Vance responded, "My comment is that according to the court document you apparently didn't read he was a convicted MS-13 gang member with no legal right to be here."

"My further comment," continued the vice president, "is that it's gross to get fired up about gang members getting deported while ignoring citizens they victimize."

This tweet prickled Favreau, Bill Kristol, Keith Olbermann, Politico's Kyle Cheney, and other Trump administration critics.

Kristol, celebrant of Syria's new Islamist rulers, claimed that Vance's comment "is a lie."

Kyle Cheney seized upon Vance's wording that Abrego Garcia was a "convicted" gang member, noting, "The court filing does not say that. It says he was denied bond in 2019 over an informant's claim he was in MS-13. That's not a conviction."

"Kyle Cheney, a 'legal affairs reporter' is apparently unable or unwilling to look at the facts here," wrote Vance. "In 2019, an Immigration Judge (under the first Trump administration) determined that the deported man was, in fact, a member of the MS-13 gang. He also apparently had multiple traffic violations for which he failed to appear in court. A real winner."

"It is telling that the entire American media is going to run a propaganda operation today making you think an innocent 'father of 3' was apprehended by a gulag," wrote Vance.

'He should be locked up.'

The vice president, sharing screenshots of the relevant court documents, noted further that: "1) The man is an illegal immigrant with no right to be in our country. 2) An immigration judge determined he was a member of the MS-13 gang. 3) Because he is not a citizen, he does not get a full jury trial by peers. In other words, whatever 'due process' he was entitled to, he received."

A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told NBC News in a statement Tuesday that Abrego Garcia "is a member of the brutal MS-13 gang — we have intelligence reports that he is involved in human trafficking."

"Whether he is in El Salvador or a detention facility in the U.S., he should be locked up," added the spokesperson. "Remarkable that The Atlantic and other MSM continue to do the bidding of these vicious gangs and ignore their victims."
