05.06.2025The Day Musk Accused Trump of Epstein Ties
Trump implemented his travel ban on 12 countries while meeting German Chancellor Merz, but the policy launch was overshadowed by his exploding relationship with Elon Musk. The feud escalated from Musk's continued attacks on Trump's spending bill to personal warfare throughout the afternoon.

Trump expressed disappointment with Musk's criticism and threatened to terminate his government contracts worth billions. Musk retaliated by claiming he won the election for Trump, then dropped what he called "the really big bomb" - alleging Trump appears in unreleased Epstein files. Trump called Musk "CRAZY" and suggested he suffers from "Trump Derangement Syndrome."

The Supreme Court delivered unanimous decisions supporting religious freedom and reverse discrimination claims. Trump spoke with Xi Jinping about reviving trade talks, while ICE detention conditions faced scrutiny over reports of overcrowding and food shortages. The day ended with media outlets describing the Trump-Musk alliance as spectacularly imploded.
