Stormy relations between Trump and the world's richest man Elon Musk are deteriorating

The father of the world's richest man, Elon Musk, Errol Musk, intervened today in the heated dispute between his son and US President Donald Trump. Errol Musk said that his son, Elon, was wrong in his attack on the president and will emerge as the loser: "This was expected, and both were under intense pressure for 5 months."

The tension between Trump and Musk escalated after last week Musk sharply criticized the budget bill that Trump supports, calling it "disgusting". Musk even said he would "blow up" the bill and accused Trump of being on the lists of convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

In an interview with the Russian newspaper "Izvestia" today, Errol Musk said: "You know they were under a lot of pressure for 5 months - leave them alone. They are tired and stressed, so you can expect such a thing to happen." He also said: "Trump will win - he is the president, he was elected president. So you know, Elon made a mistake, I think. But he is tired, under stress."

Errol Musk tried to downplay the significance of the clash and said "this is just a small matter" and that "it will be over tomorrow". We recall that Elon Musk was one of the main drivers of Trump's 2016 election campaign, participating in rallies and encouraging people to vote for him.

However, the relationship between the two has recently deteriorated. After Musk left his post in the White House administration last month, he began to speak critically of Trump's actions. This led to a sharp verbal clash between them that lasted for hours. Trump even claimed that he had actually fired Musk from his post and that the billionaire "went crazy".

In the midst of the confrontation, Musk claimed that he was "blowing up a bomb" and revealing that Trump was among the well-known figures featured in the secret documents on the activities of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Trump, in turn, threatened that if Musk donates money to Democrats in future elections, it will have "serious consequences" for his companies.

On Saturday, Trump announced that his relationship with Musk is over and that he has no desire to meet with him again. This comes after last week he already threatened to reduce the subsidies for Musk's companies, which amount to billions of dollars.
