Musk and Trump's Explosive Twitter War: Accusations, Retaliation, and the Future of SpaceX

Musk and Trump's Twitter Feud: Accusations, Retaliation, and the Future of SpaceX Washington, D.C. - June 6, 2025 - A heated public exchange between tech mogul Elon Musk and former US President Donald Trump has dominated headlines. The conflict began with Musk's explosive tweet alleging Trump's presence in the Epstein files. Trump responded with a series of tweets criticizing Musk and even suggesting the termination of government contracts with SpaceX. "Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public." Musk tweeted. Trump fired back, stating, "Elon was "wearing thin." I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!" The conflict raises questions about the future of SpaceX's government contracts and its relationship with NASA, given the Dragon spacecraft's crucial role in transporting astronauts to the International Space Station. Musk's subsequent tweets and statements further intensified the situation. The ongoing dispute underscores the volatile nature of public discourse in the digital age.
