Elon Musk And Donald Trump To Meet After Musk Accused President Of Being In Epstein Files
Elon Musk and Donald Trump are set to meet following Musk’s bombshell accusation that Trump is named in Jeffrey Epstein’s files, which he claims is why the documents remain sealed. Their public feud escalated after Musk criticized Trump’s spending bill, prompting the president to express disappointment. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the spat an “unfortunate episode,” defending Trump’s focus on legislation while acknowledging Musk’s right to voice business concerns.
The meeting, reportedly scheduled for June 6, comes amid calls for reconciliation. Billionaire Bill Ackman urged the two to “make peace for the benefit of our great country,” a sentiment Musk endorsed. In a surprising twist, Musk even agreed with a suggestion that Trump should be impeached and replaced by him, though it’s unclear if the remark was serious. The Epstein files controversy adds another layer to their deteriorating relationship, which began when Musk resigned from his government role in May.
