The two recently publicly clashed on social media over a Republican-led budget, and Trump said Musk "has very disrespectful to the presidency." Previously, Musk posted a post on social media platform X to criticize the large-scale tax and expenditure bill promoted by the US government, attacked Trump, and even forwarded content related to Geoffrey Epstein's old news, and then deleted it. Trump responded to calling the allegations about Epstein a "old story" and denied that he was associated with it. In addition, Trump also threatened to have the right to cancel government contracts and subsidies for Musk's companies, although no action has been taken on this. He stressed that the Republican Party has unprecedented unity and is optimistic about the successful passage of the budget.
