Elon Musk Donald Trump Break-Up: From Epstein Files Claim to Contract Cancellation Threat and SpaceX Dragon Spacecraft Decommissioning Announcement, Know All the 'Big Beautiful Bombs' Dropped

Washington DC, June 6: All is not well between billionaire Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump as the two seem to be going through a "break-up" literally. Today, June 6, Tesla CEO Elon Musk dropped a bombshell on X (formerly Twitter) and claimed that the US President is named in the Epstein files. In a post, Elon Musk explained why the records remain sealed. "Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!" Notably, Elon Musk's post came hours after Donald Trump criticised the Tesla CEO over his opposition to the controversial "Big Beautiful Bill". As the two continue to exchange barbs and attack each other, let's take a look at the "big beautiful bombs" dropped so far as Elon Musk-Donald Trump break-up gets glier with each passing day.

It must be remembered that the fallout between Elon Musk and Donald Trump began shortly after the passage of the controversial legislation, which the Tesla CEO slammed as "The Big Ugly Bill". Post this, when Tesla's stocks fell, Musk accused the Trump administration of betraying those who backed it. On June 5, Elon Musk launched an assault on Donald Trump's flagship spending legislation and urged Americans to lobby Congress to "KILL the BILL". This came days after he departed from the Donald Trump administration. Responding to Musk, US President Donald Trump said that he was "disappointed" with Elon Musk after his former advisor lambasted the president's signature bill. Elon Musk Predicts Recession in Second Half of 2025, Says Tariffs Imposed by Donald Trump Will Cause It Amid Their Public Feud Over GOP Tax Bill.
