While taking questions from the press, Trump was asked about Elon Musk’s public criticisms of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

Some of them embrace it and some of them actually become hostile.” Musk responded in a series of vitriolic social media posts which included suggestions of impeachment, the threat of creating a new political party, and accusing Trump of being in the Epstein files.

3:20pm- While publicly feuding with President Trump over the proposed Republican tax and budget bill, Elon Musk posted to X: “Time to drop the really big bomb: Donald Trump is in the Epstein files.
