President Trump and Elon Musk started fighting over a spending bill earlier this week. Their argument grew much worse on Thursday afternoon when both men attacked each other on social media. Trump posted on Truth Social that Musk had gone crazy and said he might cancel government contracts with Musk's companies. Musk fired back on X by saying Trump appears in the Jeffrey Epstein files and supported calls for Trump's removal from office. He agreed with someone who suggested impeaching the president.
The conflict began when Musk criticized what Trump called a beautiful spending bill. Trump accused Musk of being selfish and ungrateful during a White House meeting with reporters. He suggested Musk missed being around the White House and felt angry about Republicans cutting electric car incentives. Musk responded by claiming Trump would have lost the election without his help. Trump later held another White House meeting but refused to answer questions from reporters.
Senators continued to work on the spending bill despite the public feud between the two men. Musk also attacked Republican leaders on social media during the dispute. He targeted House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune with old statements to show they changed their positions on the funding package.
