That’s because Elon just spilled the beans on Trump and Epstein on X! He may want to leave the country before he gets unalived. Ahhh…the implosion…pass the popcorn.

… Musk today after Trump posted on Truth Social that he fired Elon: “Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House, and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate. Such ingratitude.”

… Trump responded: “The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!”

… Musk: “In light of the President’s statement about cancellation of my government contracts, SpaceX will begin decommissioning its Dragon spacecraft immediately.”

(Dragon is used to bring supplies to the International Space Station)

… Musk also came back with this: “Time to drop the really big bomb: Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT! Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”’

… Steve Bannon then spoke to the NYT about Musk, who he has hated for years: “They should initiate a formal investigation of his immigration status because I am of the strong belief that he is an illegal alien, and he should be deported from the country immediately.”

… Musk and Trump took turns taking shots at each other most of the day today, as Trump turned his Oval Office meeting with the German Chancellor into a Bash Elon session after Musk spent the last three days calling his budget an “abomination.”

… Musk: “This spending bill contains the largest increase in the debt ceiling in US history! It is the Debt Slavery Bill. Call your Senator, Call your Congressman, Bankrupting America is NOT ok! KILL the BILL.”

… Trump: “Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anyone sitting here. And then all of a sudden he had a problem, and he only developed the problem when he found out we're gonna have to cut the EV mandate; I'm very disappointed in Elon. I’ve helped him a lot.”

… Musk: “False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!”

… Trump: “Elon's upset because we took out the EV mandate. He recommended somebody to run NASA and I didn't think it was appropriate. And he happened to be a Democrat, like, totally Democrat. We won, we get privileges, and one of the privileges is we don’t have to appoint a Democrat.”

… Musk: “Whatever. Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil and gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill. In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this! Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim and beautiful bill.”

… Trump: “I think he misses the place. He's not the first. People leave my administration, and then at some point, they miss it so badly. And some of them embrace it. And some of them actually become hostile. It's sort of Trump derangement syndrome.”

… Musk: “Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?”

… Trump then jumped onto Truth Social and said he fired Musk: “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!”

… Musk responded to that: “Such an obvious lie. So sad.”

… Can we circle back and get more details on exactly what Musk did to win the election for Trump?

… Musk then posted that Trump should be impeached and replaced with JD Vance.

… Musk’s most recent baby mama Ashley St. Claire, who is currently suing Musk, chimed in with this post tagging Trump: “Hey Trump, let me know if you need any breakup advice.”

… Laura Loomer: “It’s heating up. Will be interesting to see what Republican lawmakers do now. I know law makers who are asking if they should side with President Trump or Elon. I’ve been on the Hill all day and it’s all anyone is talking about. The most powerful man in the world vs the richest man in the world.”

… Musk responded to Loomer’s post: “Oh and some food for thought as they ponder that question: Trump has 3.5 years left as President, but I will be around for 40+ years.”

… That might be a bit optimistic given his drug use, diet, sleep habits, and physical conditioning.

… Then Musk posted this: “The Trump tariffs will cause a recession in the second half of this year.”

… Dinesh D’Souza: “The Trump-Musk feud is a gift to the Left. The Democrats can hardly believe their good luck.”

… Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) to Elon: “I've had a lot of love and respect for you for what you've done for this country over the last several months, but you've lost your damn mind. You've lost your mind.”

…… Tesla stock took a nosedive when the feud started at noon and just kept going down as it kept getting worse. CNBC: “Tesla loses $152 billion in market cap after Musk-Trump spat. Biggest hit ever.” That’s about $9 billion per tweet.



… Ranking Dem on House Oversight Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-MA) is calling for the committee to subpoena Elon Musk for an inquiry on whether he was using drugs while working inside the Trump admin.

… Trump post on Truth Social this morning: “I just finished speaking with President Vladimir Putin. We discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace. Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields. We also discussed Iran, and the fact that time is running out on Iran’s decision pertaining to nuclear weapons, which must be made quickly! I stated to Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and, on this, I believe that we were in agreement. Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion.”

… Trump was asked in the Oval Office why he has repeatedly threatened additional sanctions on Russia but has done nothing: “When I see the moment where it’s not going to stop, we’re going to be very tough. And it could be on both countries.”

… On both countries. So we are going to sanction Ukraine too. Makes sense. We need to punish them for defending themselves.

… AP: “Filings for US unemployment benefits rose to their highest level in 8 months last week. New applications for jobless benefits rose by 8,000 to 247,000 for the week ending May 31. That’s the most since early October. Analysts had forecast 237,000 new applications. In reporting their latest earnings, many companies have either lowered their sales and profit expectations for 2025 or not issued guidance at all, often citing President Trump’s dizzying rollout of tariff announcements.”

… WSJ reported on something I worried about in this column a couple months ago - that when the economic numbers started to get really bad, the Trump admin was going to cook the books: “Some economists are beginning to question the accuracy of recent US inflation data after the fed govt said staffing shortages hampered its ability to conduct a massive monthly survey. The Bureau of Labor Statistics told outside economists this week that a hiring freeze at the agency was forcing the survey to cut back on the number of businesses where it checks prices. In last month’s inflation report, govt statisticians had to use a less precise method for guessing price changes more extensively than they did in the past.”

… “To calculate the inflation rate, hundreds of govt workers called enumerators fan out across cities each month to check how much businesses are charging for products such as blue jeans and services such as accounting, often by visiting bricks-and-mortar stores. Statisticians roll those figures together into the consumer-price index, a data stream that shows how the cost of living is changing for typical Americans. A handful of economists noticed quirks in the April data.”

… “Economist Alan Detmeister was among those who noticed that in the April inflation data, 29% of price guesses were made using different-cell imputation, almost twice as high as any month in the past 5 years. The report showed that the rate of inflation cooled to 2.3% over the 12 months through April, the lowest rate since 2021. Detmeister said it is impossible to tell whether the reliance on different-cell estimates skewed the data in one direction or the other: “When you take a sample and reduce the numbers, it’s going to increase the sampling error. We don’t know if this is a big issue or a small issue, but we just know that directionally, it’s making things worse.”

I did my very best to keep up with everything today. When the Trump-Elon feud broke out at noon (which we prepared for and were expecting today after Elon’s posts last night about the budget), I pretty much had to drop everything and stay on social media for about 5 hours straight to keep up with the twists and turns. I didn’t want to neglect other important news though - so good thing I got more done than usual in the morning anticipating that something crazy could go down today.

But even I didn’t think it was going to be that crazy! If you missed the last Bulletin, you can find it here.
 
Remember…

Elon/DOGE went into all the U.S. Government’s files on every American…including Trump and his family.

Elon knows everything.

Trump putting Elon in there with DOGE will go down as one of the dumbest and ignorant things the Orange Moron has done as POTUS.
 
I don’t believe a word of this. This is a ploy to make Elon look as if he distanced himself but he really hasn’t.
 
Today my uncle called me from Florida, laughing about the squabble between Trump & Musk.
 
It's like a soap opera where they'll drum up something to take the focus from something else.Musk wants to do whatever he wants when it comes to business and Trump wants to do whatever he wants when it comes to the white house
