He publicly criticized a massive spending bill passed by the House at Trump’s urging, calling it contrary to goals of reducing government expenditure. 

Musk claimed Trump would have lost the election without his support and accused him of ingratitude, while Trump said Musk “lost his mind” and expressed deep disappointment.

On June 5, Musk posted that Trump was linked to the Jeffrey Epstein case, implying this was why related documents remained unreleased. He later deleted the post. 

On June 7, Trump declared their friendly relationship over, with no intention to reconcile.
