Elon Musk backs down in Trump battle as Tesla stocks nosedive and MAGA threatens to kick him out the country: Live updates
Daily Mail ^ | 6/625 | Charlie Spiering

Elon Musk appears to have begun walking back his attacks on Donald Trump barely 12 hours after stunning the world with a social media spree.

The world's richest man has lost almost $30 billion in net worth and has seen his Tesla stock tumble after going rogue on the president, including reigniting his history with Jeffrey Epstein.

Even his estranged father Errol begged him to unwind before doing lasting damage, with some Trump allies calling for him to lose his security clearances, government contracts and even face deportation.

Musk broke his silence on Friday by agreeing with an X post that claimed he never attacked Trump personally.

I guess we will see. I sense Trump these days likes to surround himself with loyal people, so damage is done. Of course if the conspiracy theories are correct, then this was a game of 4-d chess.

This is not a good look for Trump.

As long as he holds strong, Trump looks fine.

Musk, not so much.

Musk is in effect a business partner with the CCP, which makes his trying to sneak into a classified briefing on the DoD plans for China the more suspicious.

I don't think it's touching Trump...even a tad.

But Musk will never be trusted again.

Neither does Trump. He just extended the tik tok deadline again. They both praise Xi to the utmost, even after all the bad stuff communist China does to Us. Trump attacks Europe more than China.

They’re advertising their respective websites, while taking heat off the media’s attacks on Ukraine peacemaking.

Meanwhile, firebombing Teslas has ceased.

This look is why I voted for him. Musk was never MAGA. Just a MAGA groupie. Musk is the one who changed. Not Trump.

Maybe I'm missing something. I thought the Chicom's BYD EV's are a direct competitor to Tesla EV's, especially in Europe. Is there something Musk is doing with China that I've overlooked?

Musk makes and sells his cars in China (which requires his being a partner with the CCP) and also has batteries from China in all the cars he sells.

That’s because Europe is just as evil as China. They just try harder to hide it.

Admitting you made a mistake is wisdom.
I’ve never heard Linda or any USA Senator admit they made a mistake.

A portrayal from the camp of the woke. There’s blame on both sides, but this public feud needs to end now.

True.

When the Dems and their media are smiling and laughing then it’s a dark day for us. ⛈️🌪️

I suspect meds are part of the problem.

If only MAGA and Trump had the balls to deal with rogue judges and democrats openly threatening ICE agents and POTUS. I guess it’s easier to get into a tweet fight than actually do something.
