Musk is confusing everyone.
Elon Musk may be rethinking his public feud with President Donald J. Trump. Just days after lashing out over the President’s landmark “Big, Beautiful Bill,” the tech mogul reversed course—praising Trump’s leadership following a surprise breakthrough in the Gaza ceasefire deal.
✅ Trump Scores Big With 60-Day Ceasefire in Middle East
President Trump announced Tuesday that Israel had agreed to a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza, the latest in a string of diplomatic victories under his second term. Musk responded by posting a rare endorsement of Trump’s foreign policy leadership.
“Giving credit where it’s deserved — President Trump has effectively handled multiple major global conflicts,” Musk shared in a post on X early Wednesday.
Musk also shared a screenshot of Trump’s Truth Social post outlining the White House’s “long and productive” meeting with Israeli officials—a move that signals a possible thaw in tensions between the two billionaire power players.
🔥 Musk and Trump Clash Over “Big, Beautiful Bill”
Despite the praise, Musk has been vocal in his opposition to Trump’s massive tax and spending bill, which passed the Senate on Tuesday thanks to Vice President JD Vance’s tie-breaking vote.
Musk criticized the bill for adding $5 trillion to the national debt and eliminating federal electric vehicle subsidies—benefits that have long supported Tesla’s success.
Trump didn’t hold back, calling out Musk’s reliance on taxpayer subsidies and doubling down on his opposition to the electric vehicle mandates:
“Elon Musk always knew I was against the EV Mandate,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Electric cars are fine—but Americans should never be forced to drive one.”
“Without subsidies,” Trump added, “Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa.”
🇺🇸 Trump Jokes About Deporting Musk, Unleashes DOGE
Speaking to reporters Tuesday, President Trump took aim at Musk with his signature humor:
“We might have to put DOGE on Elon,” he said, referencing the Department of Government Efficiency, a Trump-era agency once headed by Musk. “The monster might have to go back and eat Elon.”
The president’s remarks came just hours after Musk doubled down on his frustration with the bill, calling for a “new political party” to challenge what he labeled the “PORKY PIG PARTY”—a jab at both parties for reckless spending.
🚨 Musk Threatens GOP Lawmakers: “Time for a New Party”
Musk has escalated his criticism in recent days, warning Republicans who supported Trump’s plan that he may back primary challengers in 2026. On X, Musk wrote:
“We clearly live in a one-party country. Time for a party that actually cares about the people.”
Musk’s post gained millions of views, but many conservatives see his threats as hollow—especially after he re-shared posts from Trump and VP JD Vance condemning pro-immigration riots in Los Angeles.
“This moment calls for decisive leadership,” Vance wrote, as Trump vowed a zero-tolerance policy on lawlessness and violence.
⚠️ Musk Refrains From Attacking—For Now
Though tensions remain high, Musk walked back from escalating the feud—at least for now.
“So tempting to escalate this. So, so tempting. But I will refrain—for now,” Musk wrote in response to Trump’s latest jab.
💬 Final Word: Trump Stands Firm, Musk Blinks First?
Despite months of back-and-forth, President Trump’s message is clear: America comes first—not the billionaire class. While Elon Musk may lash out when his corporate perks are threatened, he still knows where true leadership lies.
As Trump continues securing peace abroad and cutting waste at home, even his loudest critics are being forced to take notice.
