Trump, Musk feud turns nasty

A DISAGREEMENT OVER PUBLIC POLICY between President Trump and Elon Musk took a personal and nasty turn on Thursday, as their once-friendly working relationship imploded in spectacular fashion.

The recriminations started off mild, but escalated dramatically by the end of the day, with Trump threatening to cut Musk’s government contracts and Musk alleging that Trump has ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Early in the day, while taking questions from reporters in the Oval Office,Trump weighed in on Musk’s sharp criticism of the GOP’s spending bill, which faces a tough path through the Senate over concerns it will add trillions to the national deficit.
