Trump-Musk rift: President Donald Trump told CNN he’s “not even thinking about” Elon Musk after they explosively sparred on social media, adding that he won’t be speaking with Musk for “a while.” Yesterday, the president floated the idea of cutting the tech billionaire’s government contracts, and Musk claimed Trump’s name was in the Jeffrey Epstein files. Here’s our blow-by-blow of the fight.

• Agenda bill: The rift started with criticism of Trump’s massive tax and domestic policy bill, which the Congressional Budget Office estimates would add $2.4 trillion to the deficit over the next decade. GOP leaders are hoping to send it to Trump’s desk by July

What’s more interesting is that it’s alleged that Musk claims Trump could not have won without him. Hmmmm that is loaded and deserved an investigation, if true. Although we are no longer fools, for this might just be a business ploy by both to drum up the value of Tesla stocks, while Trump gets to blame Musk for some of his national setbacks. Watch the ride!

Musk sought to put people on the unemployment heap, and as soon as Trump touched his income, he threw a tantrum!

If that is in reference to the EV credits being taken away, Elon has been on record that he was ok with that. So that talking point is fake news!

Or maybe he was ok with it until his private sector team showed him real numbers?

Trump is really taking US and world for a rollercoaster ride and we are only in the 6th month of his 4 year presidency. Wonder state will he leave US and the world at large at the end of his presidency??
