- Trump and Musk will have a peace call today after a heated public feud.
- Musk called for Trump’s impeachment and accused him of hiding Epstein links.
- Trump threatened to cut Musk’s government contracts and subsidies.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk are scheduled to speak by phone today. The White House confirmed the call after rising tensions between the two powerful figures. Both men have exchanged sharp words in recent days. Today’s call aims to cool things down. The online newspaper Politico first reported the news, citing senior officials close to the president. Trump himself briefly commented on the situation. He told Politico during a quick phone interview that his polling numbers “are skyrocketing” and “the highest I’ve ever had.” While he did not mention Musk directly, the timing of the statement suggests he wants to show strength before the call.
This phone conversation comes at a key moment. The relationship between Trump and Musk has shifted dramatically in just a few days. Musk went from a behind-the-scenes supporter to a sharp public critic. Trump now seems ready to talk things through. According to sources, the two will discuss their recent conflict and possibly find common ground. While no details about the exact time or talking points have been shared, both camps hope the call can bring peace after days of bitter public attacks.
Elon Musk Called for Trump’s Impeachment and Shocked Supporters
Just yesterday, Musk made headlines when he agreed with a message calling for Trump’s impeachment. The post came from conservative commentator Ian Miles Cheong. It read, “Trump vs. Elon. Who wins? My money is on Elon. Trump should be impeached and JD Vance should replace him.” Musk replied with one word: “Yes.” That post sparked a wave of reactions. Many were surprised to see Musk take such a strong position against Trump, who he once supported.
Musk also claimed that he helped Trump win the 2024 election. He wrote on his platform X that Trump would have lost without him. At the same time, Trump dismissed that claim. He told reporters that he would have won the key state of Pennsylvania even without Musk’s help. Musk didn’t stop there. He accused Trump of being “ungrateful” and said the president knew exactly what was in the Senate’s current budget bill. Musk said, “This text was not shown to me once. It passed so quickly, no one in Congress could even read it.” The billionaire’s tone shocked many who had seen him as an ally just months ago.
Trump Responded with Threats to Cut Musk’s Government Support
Trump didn’t stay quiet. He fired back on his social platform, Truth Social. There, he said Musk “knew every aspect” of the financial plan now being reviewed by the Senate. He added that Musk only began to complain after he left the administration. Trump also accused Musk of caring more about money than public service. He suggested Musk’s real problem was the plan to end subsidies for electric vehicles.
Trump also floated the idea of cutting government contracts and funding for Musk’s companies. He said the U.S. could save “billions and billions of dollars” by canceling them. That would affect projects involving Tesla, SpaceX, and even NASA missions. “The easiest way to save money is to end Elon’s subsidies and contracts,” Trump wrote. He added, “I’m surprised Biden never did it.” Musk responded by warning that such cuts could harm the International Space Station and other key programs. He called the move shortsighted and dangerous. Despite the back-and-forth, both sides now agree it’s time to talk.
Musk Escalated the Feud by Linking Trump to the Epstein Case
Musk made the situation worse when he brought up a highly sensitive topic. He claimed that Trump appears in the so-called “Epstein files.” These files are part of the case involving Jeffrey Epstein, a financier accused of sex trafficking and abuse. Epstein died in prison in 2019. Musk wrote on X, “It’s time to drop the real bomb. Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That’s why they’ve never been made public.” He ended the post with, “Have a good day, Donald J. Trump.”
This claim caused an immediate reaction. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt called it “an unfortunate development.” She said Musk was just angry because the new bill didn’t include the policies he wanted. Leavitt added that Trump remained focused on “passing this historic bill” and “making our country great again.” The White House clearly wants to shift attention away from the Epstein topic and toward legislative success. Still, Musk’s bold statement created new waves of controversy just one day before the planned call.
Today’s Phone Call Could Mark a Turning Point in Their Relationship
Now, after a week of public attacks, Trump and Musk plan to speak directly. Their phone call could bring peace or spark new problems. Both men have huge influence in politics, tech, and media. When they clash, the impact is felt across the country. Today’s conversation could calm markets, ease political tensions, and bring a truce—at least for now.
The call will likely touch on electric vehicle policy, the Senate’s budget bill, and recent personal attacks. Trump may ask Musk to stop his public criticism. Musk may demand respect and support for his companies. Whether the two can reach an agreement is unclear. But the fact that they will talk shows that neither side wants this battle to get worse.
In the end, this story is about more than just two men fighting online. It’s about government, business, power, and how fast alliances can break. All eyes are now on the call. If the two can patch things up, it could change the tone in both Washington and Silicon Valley. If they don’t, the drama will only grow.
