Trump–Musk feud

Rare card · No. 56359

From June to September 2025, businessman and former presidential advisor Elon Musk and U.S. president Donald Trump engaged in a series of social media attacks, primarily across X (formerly Twitter) and Truth Social (platforms owned by Musk and Trump, respectively), following Musk's departure from the second Trump administration with his criticisms of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a bill intended to be landmark legislation for Trump. Prior to being political allies in 2024, Musk and Trump shared a history of mutual provocation. While the relations between the two had warmed, in July 2025 however, Trump escalated the feud, stating at a rally in Michigan, "Maybe it's time he went back to where he came from". After their public feud began to thaw, with Musk sharing Trump posts on his X account and Trump calling him a good person, the two men publicly reunited at Charlie Kirk's memorial service in September 2025.
