President Donald Trump on Thursday appeared to attempt a deescalation in his mounting feud with Elon Musk, ignoring a jab about his presence in the Epstein files and focusing on the positive attributes of his legislative priorities.
"I don’t mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago," Trump posted. "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!" he added.
Trump's remarks follow Musk starting a public row between the pair of the "big, beautiful bill's" spending provisions. The spat escalated with Trump suggesting the government balance its budget by canceling subsidies to Elon Musk's companies, after which Musk stated that the government had failed to release the Epstein files due to Trump's place in them.
"Time to drop the really big bomb: [Donald Trump] is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!" Musk posted.

Please, President Trump, set this battle aside. It detracts from all the wonderful things you have accomplished. Don’t feed the MSM animals.
Trump should be the bigger man here and apologize.
I suspect there is some deliberate trolling of the left wing media at work here.
I just want them both to drop the words. Just shut up both of you.
I am tired of it. They sound like children.
Say What?????
👆👆This. 👆👆
Good point.
Elon went way overboard on the Epstein tweet, that was a drunken bastard move.
He needs to recall that and apologize, or put up evidence. Nasty.
If Musk is determined to crash and burn, don't let him take you with him.
AGREE.
was this before or after he posted about canceling Musk contracts? because that sure didnt de escalate
Elon will be fine.Trump will be fine. Just relax.
Ya think, LOL
By the time it gets through the Senate it will bear the same resemblance that Dylan Mulvaney bears to a man.
Trump,just ditch raising the debt ceiling and all will be good.
Trump should not have suggested canceling spacex subsidies and musk shouldn’t have been ass clown calling him a pedo
This post was done after
