Washington officials have been attempting to resolve the nuclear standoff before it escalates further, following a series of bizarre Jeffrey Epstein allegations and harsh impeachment insults.

White House aides have now managed to schedule a call today with the billionaire CEO and Trump to try and broker peace, according to Politico.

The two powerful men had been close allies for the best part of a year since Musk sided with Trump during the 2024 US presidential election.

They were almost inseparable for months after Trump’s seismic victory at the polls in November.

But their impending break up came over the weekend when Musk stepped away from his governmental duties with the Department of Government Efficiency.

Trump gave his friend a touching send off in a final Oval Office interview which was overshadowed by Musk’s peculiar black eye.

But ever since, their relationship has taken a steep and sour turn.

The Tesla chief has been highly critical of the president’s “Big Beautiful Bill” on several occasions online.

He even labelled it a “massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill”.

Trump soon responded and sparked a very public fallout between the pair which came to blows on Thursday.

Among the most explosive was Musk, who demanded the president’s impeachment while making baseless accusations concerning Trump’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein.

Musk claimed that Trump is withholding the infamous Epstein files due to his name appearing in them.

Despite the remark there is no evidence that Trump had any involvement in convicted sex offender Epstein’s crimes.

Trump hit back on Truth Social saying Elon was “wearing thin” and that the president had to ask him to leave the White House.

He went on to say that the US government could end all federal contracts with Musk’s companies if the insults continued to fly.

Trump described the possible move as a money saving measure.

Musk even said the 2024 US election, which Trump won by a landslide, was thanks to his support.

The controversy rapidly involved other key American personalities, with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt commenting that Musk was experiencing an “unfortunate episode”.

The SpaceX boss spent hours on his X platform addressing the heated situation overnight.

Despite going on the commenting spree targeting the governmental bill and Trump’s presidency, Musk did appear to be open to a reconciling.

American billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman sent out a message urging both men to make up for the good of the US.

He personally tweeted at Musk and Trump saying: “We are much stronger together than apart.”

Musk replied to the message by saying: “You’re not wrong.”

Trump is yet to publicly speak on if he believes there is a way back for the pair.

But he did tell Politico in a phone call that everything is “going very well, never done better”.

How did Musk and Trump’s relationship capitulate?

ELON Musk and Donald Trump spent Thursday trading barbs over social media.

The Tesla owner called for Trump’s impeachment as the president hit back and said the government could end all federal contracts with Musk’s companies. Here’s how it went down:

  • On Tuesday, Musk tweeted that Trump’s signature spending “big beautiful” spending bill was a “disgusting abomination” that would add billions to the federal deficit
  • On Thursday in the Oval Office, Trump addressed Musk’s criticism of the bill by accusing Musk of trying to kill it because the bill ends federal subsidies for electric vehicles, which would cost Musk’s company Tesla significant profits
  • Musk responded by live-posting on X as Trump spoke, initially shrugging off the president’s assessment with an unbothered “Whatever,” before tearing into the bill’s other spending provisions
  • Trump escalated the feud after the Oval Office meeting with multiple posts on Truth Social, saying he told Musk to leave the White House instead of continuing to work with Doge and threatening to dump Musk’s federal contracts, which are worth billions
  • Musk fired back on X by saying he was “decommissioning” the Dragon spacecraft made by SpaceX that brought the stranded Nasa astronauts back from the International Space Station in March
  • Musk also escalated the war of words by reposting and replying “Yes” to a tweet claiming that Trump should be impeached and replaced by Vice President JD Vance
  • Musk further fanned the flames by claiming that Trump is named in the infamous “Epstein files” and making unfounded accusations that its the reason they haven’t been released to the public. 

He added that despite Musk’s popularity with voters, the president’s favorability ratings have continued to go “through the roof”.

Trump is currently embroiled in several emergency peace talks across the globe.

He has been urgently looking to end the war in Ukraine since entering office in January by keeping both Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin on side.

The president also held a crunch phone call with China’s Xi Jinping on Thursday.

Trump described it as a “very good” conversation and said he has been invited to Beijing in the coming months.

It comes amid weeks of escalating trade tensions after Trump announced especially bruising tariffs on China.

How Elon made his billions…

ONLY a few individuals in the world stand a chance at becoming the world’s first trillionaire – and Elon Musk is near the top of that list.

Since the start of his career, Musk has been able to amass an extensive fortune and kept a hold of the “world’s richest man” moniker for years.

His career in the business world dates back to 1995, when he and his brother, Kimbal Musk, started the software firm, Zip2, which created internet city guides for the New York Times and Chicago Tribune.

Four years later, in February 1999, Compaq acquired the company for $307 million in cash, giving Musk $22 million for his seven percent share from the sale.

Later in 1999, he then co-founded X.com, one of the world’s first online banks, which merged with PayPal the following year.

A notorious workaholic, he doesn’t spend his money on lavish vacations or expensive hobbies.

Instead, the entrepreneur spends most of his free time at the office or in factories.

Nowadays, most of his wealth continues to tick over thanks to his multiple business ventures including founding giant companies like Tesla and SpaceX.

Musk’s worth also comes from the stock market, which he has helped influence greatly over the years.

At the beginning of 2021, Musk made the price of Bitcoin break all-time records after he revealed Tesla invested $1.5billion in the cryptocurrency.

In 2022, Musk hit headlines once more when he made an audacious paid for Twitter and turned it into X.
