Elon Musk backs down in Trump battle as Tesla stocks nosedive and MAGA threatens to kick him out the country: Live updates

Elon Musk broke his silence on Friday with a backtrack on his attacks on Donald Trump the day before.

Musk responded to a tweet that said he had ‘criticized Congress, not Trump – Trump then attacked Elon personally.’

‘Exactly,’ Musk responded.

The claim that he didn’t attack Trump on a personal level comes despite Musk re-igniting allegations of the president’s links with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Donald Trump pumped his fist and waved to supporters on Friday afternoon as he emerged from the White House for the first time since Elon Musk’s shock attacks.

The president put on a triumphant display as he walked to Marine One on the White House South Lawn around 4pm ET on Friday.

Trump left his residence as he travelled to New Jersey, where he is expected to attend the UFC 316 fight night on Saturday night.

Critics of Elon Musk flew a banner mocking the Tesla chief over Mar-a-Lago after he broke ranks with Donald Trump in dramatic fashion.

‘Save Tesla – Fire Musk’ the banner read.

Recently terminated staffers with the USAID agency celebrated seeing Elon Musk fall out of favor in the Trump administration.

The barb was a reference to Musk’s remark when he gutted USAID earlier in the year, saying at the time he had ‘spent the weekend feeding USAID into a wood chipper.’

‘Hey buddy, we know you’re feeling really angry and betrayed right now by your buddies in politics. Boy, do we get it,’ the post said.

‘In your defense, it was really terrible how Trump just let you stand there in front of the world and hack away at things like, you know, ebola prevention.

‘Look, you were super (like SUPER) high on ketamine at the time, so ofc (sic) you didn’t have enough sense to know what waste was from the f***ing great use of tax dollars.’

The scathing post was signed off: ‘Sincerely, one of the 50,000 people you laid off by email.’

Donald Trump was handed a loss on his immigration crackdown on Friday as an alleged MS-13 gang member he deported from Maryland to El Salvador was ordered to be returned to the US.

The White House had fought to keep Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison, alleging he was a known gangbanger.

After previously defying court orders to ‘facilitate’ Garcia’s return, sources told ABC News that Garcia is now on his way back.

A law enforcement source said that Garcia will face criminal charges when he is returned to the US, after a grand jury indicted Garcia last month alleging he participated in a years-long scheme to transport illegal immigrants across the country.

President Trump said on Friday that his administration would sit down with China for a round of economic talks on Monday in London.

He spoke after telling CBS News that he is ‘totally’ focused on his agenda and not on Elon Musk after the world’s richest man turned on him the day before.

Monday’s talks would mark the second time Trump’s delegation has held talks with Beijing since he threatened crippling 145% tariffs in his ‘Liberation Day’ levy announcement last month.

The American delegation will reportedly be led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent alongside Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

It comes days after Trump wrote on social media on Wednesday that China’s Xi Jinping was ‘VERY TOUGH, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO MAKE A DEAL WITH.’

FBI Director Kash Patel made a surprise appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast as he was seemingly stunned by Elon Musk’s tirade against Donald Trump.

The episode appeared to be filmed on Thursday as Musk was laying into Trump on X, as Rogan read aloud his post alleging Trump is ‘in the Epstein files.’

‘Jesus Christ,’ Rogan said as he read the post. ‘What is he doing?’

Patel responded: ‘I’m not participating in any of that.’

‘Someone should take his phone away,’ Rogan added. ‘Jesus Christ, that’s a crazy thing to say.’

Asked how Musk would know if Trump was in the files related to the notorious pedophile, Patel answered: ‘I don’t know how he would.’

The Trump loyalist appeared flustered as he searched fore an answer, saying: ‘I’m just staying out of the Trump-Elon thing. That’s way out of my lane…I know my lane—and that ain’t it.’

Tesla’s stock price rebounded slightly on Friday after it nosedived the day prior amid Elon Musk’s scathing attacks on President Trump.

The company’s stock opened Thursday at $332 a share, but it plummeted to just $275 a share by the end of the day as markets reacted to his social media tirade.

As of 3pm Friday, the stock rebounded to $300 a share, with traders awaiting any further moves from the world’s richest man or the White House.

Long before Elon Musk threw his billions behind Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign and dubbed himself ‘First Buddy’, he and the president had a twisting backstory of compliments and insults.

Back in November 2016 as Trump was weeks away from beating Hillary Clinton to the White House, Musk described Trump as ‘not the right guy’ for the country.

‘He doesn’t seem to have the sort of character that reflects well on the United States,’ he said at the time, as cited by the New York Times.

By January 2020, Trump had put that insult behind him and dubbed Musk ‘one of our great genuises.’

Just two years later on July 9, 2022, Trump U-turned and branded the businessman ‘another bulls*** artist.’

After Trump was left in the political wilderness and out of the White House, Musk appeared to sour on Trump further.

In July 2022, two days after Trump’s artist insult, Musk said he ‘doesn’t hate’ Trump, but felt it was ‘time for Trump to hang up his hat and sail into the sunset’ – in a tweet that remains on his X profile today.

When Trump surged back into the spotlight with his comeback campaign in 2024, Musk often praised him, before throwing his full endorsement behind Trump when he was almost assassinated in July 2024.

‘We had one president who couldn’t climb a flight of stairs and another who was fist pumping after getting shot. Fight, fight, fight,’ Musk said at the time.

The two men went on to heap praise on each other for the remainder of the campaign trail, with Musk going as far as to say he ‘loves (Trump) as much as a straight man can love another man.’

Now, following his blistering tirade against Trump on Thursday, those days appear to be in the past.

Many Republicans quickly fell in line behind President Trump and supported his ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ after Elon Musk attacked it.

But while the legislation to enact much of Trump’s domestic agenda hangs in the balance, some GOP lawmakers have raised fears over the damage Musk could do in the 2026 midterms if he doesn’t get his way.

One anonymous House Republican told Politico that although they ‘don’t think he’s killing the bill’, he is opening new lines of attack for Democrats to hammer their opponents with next year.

‘I’m more worries he’s killing our sales pitch,’ they said.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump should reconcile their differences, Republican lawmakers told the Daily Mail.

After Trump told CNN that he’s ‘not even thinking about Elon’ and said ‘he’s got a problem’, GOP lawmakers said they are hopeful the feud doesn’t escalate further.

Speaker Mike Johnson, who has been in the middle of the spat over the Big Beautiful Bill Act, said Friday he hopes Trump and Musk ‘reconcile.’

‘I believe in redemption,’ Johnson said. ‘That’s part of my worldview, and I think it’s good for the party and the country if all that’s worked out.’

‘I think they should reconcile,’ Rep. Mike McCaul, R-Texas, told the Daily Mail. ‘After all, they said they loved each other, so I think it’s time for reconciliation for them.’

‘My intel that I have is that they are going to reconcile today,’ he disclosed.

Many GOP lawmakers said the same, hoping for the two to iron out their differences.

‘I hope they make up,’ Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., told the Daily Mail of the Musk-Trump divide.

Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., who sits on House GOP leadership, told the Daily Mail the attacks aren’t new.

‘It’s not something that, you know, we haven’t seen before,’ he said of the feud, adding Musk’s attacks ‘are all falsehoods and for political show.’

Firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., told the Daily Mail that it’s up to Trump to decide whether he wants to make amends with the businessman.

‘I don’t get involved with things that involve him,’ she said not wanting to instruct the president on how to react.

‘They should reconcile,’ Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., shared. ‘I think its a great idea.’

Republican leaders in Congress are insisting that President Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ will still be passed despite aggressive opposition from Elon Musk.

The world’s richest man has launched a ‘kill the bill’ campaign to pressure GOP Senators to block the legislation’s spending increases.

But House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said ‘not a single’ Republican has called him to raise concerns about Musk’s ongoing feud with Trump, which was ignited over Musk’s disagreements with the bill.

‘We’re more united than we ever have been behind President Trump’s agena and getting it done, on his desk, by July 4,’ Scalise said.

House Speaker Mike Johnson added a stern warning to Musk, telling CNN: ‘Don’t ever challenge the president of the United States – Donald Trump.’

Elon Musk fanned the flames of the wild claims he made about President Donald Trump being in the Jeffrey Epstein files by sharing a new meme Thursday night making light of his alleged ketamine use.

An X user had used the handshake meme – a screen grab from the 1987 movie Predator, at the moment a beefed up Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers lock hands.

It’s used to symbolize when two disparate communities come together, akin to a Venn diagram.

In this case Weathers’ arm was labeled ‘Elon does ketamine’ while Schwarzenegger’s was labeled ‘Trump on Epstein’s list.’

Together they were shown as ‘X active users’ as the internet was in a flurry over Musk and Trump’s fiery fight.

Musk shared the meme Thursday night, labeling it with a laughter and bullseye emoji.

Last week, before Musk and Trump’s dramatic break-up, The New York Times reported on the billionaire’s alleged drug use claiming he took a cocktail of drugs includin ecstasy, ketamine and magic mushrooms on the campaign trail.

Elon Musk reposted a bizarre AI video of himself being interviewed where he declares: ‘I don’t care.’

‘Offer me money, offer me power, I don’t care,’ the AI generated Musk says in the clip.

‘So you just don’t care?’ the interviewer asks. ‘You wanna share what you have to say?’

Musk responds: ‘I’ll say what I wanna say, and if the consequence of that is losing money, so be it.’

The clip was shared to X by user Nic Cruz Patane on Thursday night, with Musk resharing it to his 220 million followers at midday Friday.

On Thursday, Elon Musk doubled down on his attacks on Donald Trump as he called for the end to America’s two-party system.

In a poll to his X platform, Musk questioned: ‘Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?’

As the 24 hour poll neared its conclusion, over 80% of the 5.4 million respondents answered yes.

Following the bitter break up between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, many are waiting in anticipation at what the two titans could do next.

The world’s richest man and the leader of the free world appear set to continue launching attacks at each other, and have already threatened to destroy each other’s empires.

For Musk, he has almost $400 billion to wield against the president, and could turn the fortune he used to get Trump elected toward his political opponents.

Musk has already mounted an aggressive campaign to ‘kill’ Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill in Congress, which holds the key to delivering much of Trump’s domestic agenda.

The businessman also owns arguably the world’s most potent social media platform, X, which he used on Thursday to call for the end of America’s two-party system.

But while Musk has an array of weapons to turn on Trump, the president’s power in the White House offers him several avenues to fight back.

Trump threatened to slash Musk’s government contracts on Thursday, which totalled over $3 billion last year.

The White House’s power to launch investigations and turn public opinion against Musk also holds significant potential, with Trump allies including Steve Bannon urging him to go as far as deporting Musk and revoking his security clearances.

Trump also has options including turning his Justice Department on Musk’s businesses, with Musk already having lost $27 billion of his net worth since he turned on Trump.

A criminal defense lawyer who was hired to lead Jeffrey Epstein’s defense a week before his 2019 death waded into Elon Musk’s allegations that Trump was linked to the pedophile.

David Schoen said on X: ‘I can say authoritatively, unequivocally, and definitively that he had no information to hurt President Trump. I specifically asked him!’

Schoen added that he had been advising Epstein for months before he joined his team, and was not aware of any link to the president.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer was bullish about the chances of Donald Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ passing the Senate despite aggressive opposition from Elon Musk.

‘I’m not watching what Elon is posting. I’ve heard about it, but sorry, he’s not on my phone’ Emmer told Politico.

‘What I’m thinking about is this: I get the bill that’s … the largest reduction in spending, and preventing the largest tax increase, in history.

‘It seals the southern border. It pays for defense. I mean, it is every one of President Trump’s priorities. And, you know, I think there was some suggestion earlier this week that it was like pork-filled whatever. It’s not a spending bill.’

Emmer said he was not concerned by Musk’s demands to ‘kill the bill.’

‘Look, all I care about is the bill that we passed and making sure that when the Senate sends back whatever they’re going to send back that, we pass it … That’s all I care about. All this other stuff is just noise,’ he said.

‘Everybody loves a great car accident. They just don’t want to be in it, right? So, okay, let them dust up. This is what we had in the house when we were going through the process. There’s a lot of emotion involved. There’s a lot of intense pressure.’

Elon Musk’s father Errol revealed that he contacted his son yesterday in hopes of talking him down from his shock outburst at President Trump.

The elder Musk, 79, told Al Arabiya English that his son’s clas with Trump was because they are both ‘alphas’, but he believes the drama ‘will fizzle out in a few days.’

‘When people have been through a great deal of stress… eventually people reach a point where they lash out,’ Musk said.

‘Even at the highest levels, people struggle to find common ground.’

Asked if the two men could reconcile, he said ‘of course’, adding: ‘I did send him a message… telling him, make sure this fizzles out.’

Errol did not say whether his son responded to his message, with Elon previously branding his father a ‘terrible human being’ in a 2017 interview with Rolling Stone.

Donald Trump gave an optimistic outlook on his bitter break up with Elon Musk as he said he was moving forward with his presidency.

Trump told CBS News chief Washington analyst Robert Costa on the phone that he is ‘totally’ focused on his agenda and not on the world’s richest man turning on him.

He reportedly boasted of the country’s strong economic standing, bolstered by a better-than-expected jobs report on Friday morning, and said ‘that’s all I focus on.’

‘I don’t focus on anything else – that’s why I have my highest poll numbers,’ Trump said.

‘It’s going really well. The country is doing great, has never done so well. Jobs numbers are great, everything is good.’

It comes after Trump reportedly brushed off Musk’s attempts to contact him on Friday morning and said he was ‘not particularly interested’ in hearing from him.

Elon Musk’s transgender daughter Vivian Wilson gloated about her father falling out of favor with Donald Trump in a scathing social media post.

Wilson, 21, a frequent critic of her billioniare father, took to Instagram after Musk stunned the world by dramatically turning on the president.

‘I love being proven right,’ she said, clearly enjoying her father’s fallout with Trump.

‘I do not want to comment,’ she added, before bursting into a fit of laughter.

She followed up with post from Threads paired with the song ‘Job Application’ by Chase Icon and the caption, ‘Such beauty in life.’

A top lieutenant to Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency announced that he is leaving the cost-cutting movement in a scathing post condemning Elon Musk.

James Fishback said on X that he was left disappointed by not only Musk’s outburst at the president on Thursday, but also by his antics while he was welcome in the White House.

‘The truth is that Elon set expectations that he relayed to the President, me, and the country that he did not come close to fulfilling,’ Fishback wrote on X.

‘President Trump is a once-in-a-century leader. He won the popular vote, the Electoral College, and all seven swing states by championing the priorities in his Big Beautiful Bill which Elon now says he wants to “kill.”

President Trump has shown grace and patience at a time when Elon’s behavior is disappointing and frankly downright disturbing.

It’s time for Elon to apologize to the President and his family, cool off, and get back to work on inventing the future at Tesla and SpaceX.’

Elon Musk could be offered political asylum in Russia over his bitter break up with President Trump, a Kremlin official said.

Dmitry Novikov, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, made the offer to the billionaire on Russian state news TASS.

‘I think that Musk has a completely different game, [so] he will not need any political asylum, although if he did, Russia, of course, could provide it,’ he said.

It comes after a spokesperson for the European Commission said Musk is ‘very welcome’ in Europe if he is forced from the US.

Betting odds site Kalshi recorded an eight point bump in the odds on Donald Trump being impeached in his second term following calls from Elon Musk to oust him.

Musk stunningly suggested Trump should be replaced with 40-year-old Vice President J.D. Vance amid their fiery falling out.

It came after X user Ian Miles Cheong wrote: ‘President vs Elon. Who wins? My money’s on Elon. Trump should be impeached and JD Vance should replace him.’

On Friday morning, Kalshi data showed a 44 percent chance that Trump could be impeached, after he previously faced two impeachment votes in his first term.

Elon Musk’s dramatic fallout with Donald Trump has seen him join a long list of former close confidants of the president who are now out in the cold.

Political analysts have long warned Trump and Musk’s bromance was doomed from the start, alleging how the pair have ‘planet-sized egos destined to collide’.

While the fight has left the GOP torn, it should come as no surprise as Trump has a long track record of turning his allies and aides against him.

His first Oval Office term saw top aides like Sean Spicer and Anthony Scaramucci jump ship early on, followed by a slew of other key members of his administration.

Trump’s then Vice President Mike Pence delivered the final blow after the Capitol riot and publicly declared the president ‘puts himself over the Constitution’.

Other high profile figures who have clashed with Trump in office include General John Kelly, who likened Trump to Adolf Hitler, his third National Security Advisor John Bolton, and former ‘fixer’ Michael Cohen.

A spokesperson for the European Commission said Elon Musk is ‘very welcome’ in Europe following his bitter fallout with President Trump.

Speaking after a shocking turn of events where Musk reignited allegations of a link between Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, spokeswoman Paula Pinho sided with Musk.

‘He’s very welcome,’ she replied to a question about the fallout, reportedly cracking a smile as she did so.

The commission’s spokesman for tech, Thomas Regnier, added that ‘veryone is very welcome indeed to start and to scale in the EU.’

Squad member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez couldn’t resist jabbing at both Donald Trump and Elon Musk as the billionaire’s bromance imploded.

The New York Congresswoman was on her way to the Capitol when she was asked for her reaction to the feud between the US president and his one-time ‘First Buddy.’

‘Oh man, the girls are fighting aren’t they,’ she replied.

Ocasio-Cortez then argued that the feud between Trump and Musk has was one that’s ‘been a long time coming’.

‘We’ve been seeing that these two huge egos were not longed for being together in this world as friends,’ she said.

‘I think this breakup we’ve been seeing a long time coming, but we’ll see what the impacts are of it legislatively,’ she noted, as Musk continues to rail against the president’s spending bill and even called for Trump to be impeached.

Elon Musk quickly backtracked on his threat to decommission his Dragon spacecraft ‘immediately’ amid his outburst at Donald Trump.

The SpaceX chief said he would end the starship on Thursday afternoon in response to Trump saying the ‘easiest way to save money in our budget… is to terminate Elon’s governmental subsidies and contracts.

‘I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it,’ the president said.

After Musk fired back that he would decommission the Dragon spacecraft, he U-turned less than five hours later.

He said in response to an X user telling him it was a ‘shame’ and to ‘cool off and take a step back’ that it was ‘good advice.’

‘Ok, we won’t decomission Dragon,’ he said.

Republicans rallied around Donald Trump on Friday morning as they reeled from Elon Musk’s dramatic outburst at the president.

GOP lawmakers in DC said Musk has ‘gone too far’ after the billionaire reignited Trump’s history with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and claimed he was the sole reason he won the 2024 election.

Texas Congressman Pat Fallon said he was still stunned by the turnaround, saying: ‘Hopefully we never have to answer questions about tweets like that from Elon again… not helpful.’

‘Elon crossed the line today,’ Rep. Chip Roy added to Fox News.

‘There’s just no need for this,’ lawmaker Troy Nehls also said in response. ‘Those conversations should be taking place behind closed doors.’

Donald Trump is planning to get rid of the red Tesla he purchased from Elon Musk in March as he fumes over their fallout.

The vehicle was still parked outside the White House on Friday morning, however a senior administration official told DailyMail.com that Trump intends to either sell it or give it away.

Trump bought the Tesla earlier this year as he turned the South Lawn into a Tesla showroom, in what was seen at the time as a show of his friendship with the billionaire.

The president’s decision to part ways with the vehicle comes amid his dramatic fight with Musk that has left their once-rosy relationship in tatters.

The White House was celebrating a surprise boost to the US economy on Friday morning following the latest jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The economy added 139,000 jobs in May, which sent the stock market soaring as it was a stronger result than expected.

Analysts said the optimistic financial outlook will allow the Fed more time to hold interest rates steady.

‘Today’s jobs report should bring relief to investors who are worried about a breakdown in the labor market,’ eToro US Investment Analyst Bret Kenwell said.

‘Given how important consumer spending is to the overall economy, the state of the jobs market is a critical component for the US,’ he explained.

‘While it may not be firing on all cylinders, it’s far from showing signs of a major breakdown.’

It comes as Trump took to his Truth Social platform to laud his accomplishments since retaking the White House – but did not mention his ongoing feud with Elon Musk.

‘AMERICA IS HOT! SIX MONTHS AGO IT WAS COLD AS ICE! BORDER IS CLOSED, PRICES ARE DOWN. WAGES ARE UP!’ he said in one post.

Elon Musk sent a shocking insult to Steve Bannon after the former Trump White House advisor called for the businessman to be deported.

Bannon told the New York Times that he believes Musk’s alleged drug taking could violate his immigration status.

The former Trump aide also called for the White House to ‘seize’ SpaceX after Musk threatened to decomission his company’s starships, which would leave astronauts stranded on the ISS.

In a shocking response to a clip of Bannon making the argument on X, Musk said: ‘Bannon is a communist r****d.’

‘Bannon is peak r****d’ he said under another post about Bannon’s comments.

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman laid into his fellow Democrats for their abrupt support for Elon Musk after he began attacking Donald Trump.

Fetterman said he was disappointed to see the U-turn many on the left took in the last 24 hours.

‘The Dems, we’ve been dumping all over Musk and vandalizing Teslas or whatever, and now, suddenly, we might be more back into him,’ Fetterman told Fox News.

‘It wasn’t that long ago that Tesla was like the virtue-signaling kind of accessory for Dems.

‘I would never want to vandalize Teslas, and the ‘big, beautiful bill’ is wrong for America. So, from my perspective, I’ve just tried to be consistent through that.’

Republican Congressman Tim Burchett agreed, saying; ‘It’s kind of ironic to me that, a week ago, the Democrats hated Elon Musk’s guts … and now they’re basing everything they have on him.’

Donald Trump’s top trade advisor Peter Navarro downplayed Elon Musk’s role in the White House as he dubbed him ‘just a special government employee with an expiration date.’

‘People come and go from the White House,’ Navarro told CNN.

The top aide also took aim at Musk’s opposition to tariffs rolled out by Trump.

‘Elon Musk does not like tariffs, full stop,’ he said, adding that this was ‘made clear’ even during Trump’s first term.

‘We can have disagreements about it, but I would simply say that everybody during our first term who said that the tariffs were going to be recessionary and inflationary were obviously, obviously and widely wrong,’ he said.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said he believes Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s shattered relationship could be mended despite their public fallout on Thursday.

‘Yeah, I believe in redemption, and I think it will all work out,’ Johnson told CNN.

The top Republican said he has spoken with Musk, and described the billionaire as a ‘friend.’

‘We’ve been exchanging text messages,’ he said, adding that he wouldn’t divulge what they spoke about.

‘He’s a friend. Just trying to get everybody to a yes.’

It comes as Johnson fights to pass Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ through Congress despite Musk’s aggressive efforts to stop it.

President Trump took to his Truth Social platform to laud his accomplishments since retaking the White House – but did not mention his ongoing feud with Elon Musk.

‘AMERICA IS HOT! SIX MONTHS AGO IT WAS COLD AS ICE! BORDER IS CLOSED, PRICES ARE DOWN. WAGES ARE UP!’ he said in one post.

The post followed another where he said: ‘Prices are down, income is up, our Border is closed, gasoline is CHEAP, inflation is DEAD — Our Country is BOOMING! Companies are pouring into America like never before!’

Allies between Donald Trump and Elon Musk were reportedly scrambling to broker a truce between the two men until one particularly shocking X post from Musk scuppered any chances of peace.

Musk posted on Thursday afternoon that it was ‘time to drop the really big bomb’, and alleged that Trump won’t release the ‘Epstein files’ because the president is in them.

‘Have a nice day DJT!’ he signed off the post.

Insiders told CNN that the post was a ‘tipping point’ that likely ended any chances that the two men could come to a quick resolution.

President Donald Trump’s surprise decision to change Elon Musk’s preferred pick to lead NASA may have done more to fuel the historic blowup between the two men than previously known.

The president canceled his nomination of Jared Isaacman as NASA’s administrator after Musk officially left the White House on Friday.

Isaacman, a billionaire, pilot, and astronaut, was close with Musk and even flew to space with Musk’s Dragon program on Operation Polaris Dawn in 2024.

But he had a history of donating funds to Democrats, including recent Democratic candidates who ran against GOP senators Tim Sheehy of Montana and Bernie Moreno of Ohio in 2024.

Despite his donations, Isaacman was approved by the Senate committee in April and was expected to get confirmed this week in the Senate.

But Trump’s advisor Sergio Gor, in charge of managing the White House personnel office, reportedly delivered Trump a list of Isaacman’s donations to Democrats according to reporting from Axios.

Gor did not appreciate Musk’s involvement in personnel matters, the report noted, as they had a tense relationship.

‘This was Sergio’s out-the-door ‘f**k you’ to Musk,’ one White House official said.

Donald Trump fumed at Elon Musk on Friday morning and said the billionaire has ‘got a problem’ amid their dramatic fallout.

‘I’m not even thinking about Elon,’ Trump told CNN.

‘He’s got a problem. The poor guy’s got a problem.’

Trump added in a call with the outlet that he ‘won’t be speaking to him for a while, I guess, but I wish him well.’

Musk has denied the allegations about his drug use.

The White House told DailyMail.com on Friday that there are ‘no plans’ for President Trump to speak with Elon Musk.

Trump is ‘not interested’ in speaking with the world’s richest man after he sent a series of stunning X posts attacking the president.

The pressure is on Katie Miller to choose: stay working for Elon Musk or quit her cushy consultant gig in order to support President Donald Trump and, by extension, her husband Stephen Miller.

Katie Miller, a prominent figure in Trump’s first administration, was spokesperson for Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency and she left that job to follow Musk into the private sector.

But after a war of words – played out live on social media – erupted between the most powerful man in the world and the richest man in the world, she’ll have to choose either her employer or her president.

‘It’s unsustainable for her to remain on his payroll and remain a Trump ally,’ an administration official told Daily Mail.

JD Vance sat down with podcaster Theo Von on Thursday as Elon Musk stunned the world with his dramatic turn on Donald Trump.

Vance shared a picture with Von captioned: ‘Slow news day, what are we even going to talk about?’

Musk drew attention to the episode, which is expected to be released on Friday, as he re-shared Vance’s post with a laughing emoji.

Late last night, the Daily Mail took a snap poll from the MAGA world elite.

The loudest voices were perhaps the most unsurprising.

‘I’ll be on the side of the guy that took a bullet for his country. Simple as that,’ CJ Pearson, a conservative activist and co-chair of the Republican National Committee Youth Advisory, said.

Influencer Emily Wilson, better known as ‘Emily Saves America’ in Trump circles, said that though she ‘doesn’t agree with doing this publicly and it’s not a good look for us… compared to Democrats, our party at least goes for it.

‘We go with what we think and feel, we don’t just fall in line with each other. I feel like Democrats are all shady and do everything behind closed doors and eat their own.’

Raquel Debono, 28, who runs ‘Make America Hot Again’ speed dating events, added jokingly: ‘I guess Trump’s not invited to Mars anymore.’

Republican lawmakers also waded into the controversy, appearing shocked by the dramatic fallout between the two men.

‘Clearly the bromance is over, I’m just trying to figure out what the hell happened,’ New York Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis told the Daily Mail.

South Carolina Republican Rep. Ralph Norman admitted he was sad to see the dispute.

‘You got two, two high profile, strong ego leaders, and in some way this is probably bound to happen,’ he said. ‘But it’s sad, really. It’s really sad.’

Vice President JD Vance leapt to Donald Trump’s defense on Friday morning as he slammed ‘corporate media lies’ about the president.

‘There are many lies the corporate media tells about President Trump. One of the most glaring is that he’s impulsive or short-tempered,’ he posted on X.

‘Anyone who has seen him operate under pressure knows that’s ridiculous.’

Vance added in a follow up post that ‘it’s (maybe) the single biggest disconnect between fake media perception and reality.’

Elon Musk’s Tesla stock plummeted following his attacks on Donald Trump, sitting at a 14% drop as of Friday morning.

Musk’s net worth dropped about $27 billion on Thursday, however he remains the world’s richest man with a net worth standing around $388 billion.

Shares in the president’s company that supports his Truth Social platform also fell eight percent yesterday, with his Trump Coin cryptocurrency also weakening.

Elon Musk showed no signs of calming his attacks on Donald Trump as he re-shared a stunning clip showing Donald Trump partying with Jeffrey Epstein.

The clip was from 1992, showing the president and notorious pedophile surrounded by women and dancing at a club.

The footage was posted by X user Natalie Danelishen, before Musk re-shared it with an inquisitive faced emoji.

Donald Trump was reportedly ‘not angry or even concerned’ about his escalating feud with Elon Musk in a phone call with reporter Jonathan Karl.

Karl wrote on X that Trump branded Musk ‘the man who has lost his mind’, but was not concerned with speaking with the former ‘First Buddy.’

‘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,’ the ABC News correspondent said.
