Källor: Vance mäklade fred mellan Trump och Musk

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, 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. In 2022, Musk described Trump as an unsuitable president due to his age in response to Trump calling him a "bullshit artist". 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.
