周四，埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)和唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)总统之间的口水战爆发为全面崩溃，马斯克抨击特朗普在2024年大选中“忘恩负义”，同意呼吁弹劾他，抨击总统的签名立法，甚至声称特朗普在爱泼斯坦的文件中。
特朗普在椭圆形办公室的电视上发表讲话说，他对马斯克感到“失望”，此前他在周三批评了他为自己的议程提供资金的“巨大而美丽”的大账单，然后在社交媒体上相互发帖，一度说马斯克已经“疯了”。
随着交流越来越私人化，马斯克在没有提供证据的情况下，发布了关于特朗普和指控性交易商杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的帖子，“是时候扔一颗真正的大炸弹了:@realDonaldTrump在爱泼斯坦的文件中。这是他们没有被公开的真正原因。祝你愉快，DJT!”
他接着又发了一篇文章，说:“为将来标记这篇文章。真相会大白的。”
特朗普此前曾发帖称，“我从未乘坐过爱泼斯坦的飞机，也没有到过他的‘愚蠢’岛屿，”他也没有公开反对公布目前正在接受司法部审查的文件。
特朗普之前与爱泼斯坦的联系以及他的名字出现在通讯录和爱泼斯坦飞机的飞行日志中已经被广泛报道。
爱泼斯坦自杀身亡2019年在他的牢房里。
马斯克和特朗普之间的公开裂痕始于马斯克对总统国内大账单的愤怒。马斯克对该法案的价格及其对国债的估计影响提出了异议。
特朗普周四早些时候在白宫对记者发表讲话时，在广泛的言论中回击了马斯克。
“听着，埃隆和我关系很好。我不知道我们还会不会继续下去，”特朗普说。
马斯克实时回应特朗普在X上的个人评论，直接抨击立法和特朗普。
有一次，马斯克回复一名用户说:“没有我，特朗普会输掉选举，民主党会控制众议院，共和党会在参议院以51比49获胜。”
“真是忘恩负义，”马斯克补充道。麝香花费超过2.7亿美元在2024年选举周期中支持特朗普和其他共和党人。
后来，他转发了一条评论，呼吁将特朗普的弹劾换成副总统万斯(JD Vance)。“是的，”马斯克在回应这个想法时写道。
随着时间的推移，双方的争吵越来越多。
特朗普在自己的保守社交媒体平台上反击说:“埃隆正在‘穿薄’，我要求他离开，我取消了他的电动汽车授权，这迫使每个人都购买没有人想要的电动汽车(他几个月前就知道我会这样做!)，而他就这么疯了!”
特朗普表示，“最简单的省钱方法”是“终止埃隆的政府补贴和合同。”
马斯克不仅批评了特朗普的法案，还批评了他的关税政策——这是总统经济议程的基石，也是几十年来的政治目标。他在X上声称，关税将导致“今年下半年的衰退”
据两位熟悉总统谈话的消息人士称，截至周四上午，马斯克和特朗普没有说过话。
几名消息人士告诉ABC新闻，多名政府官员试图亲自联系马斯克及其代表，但他们的电话和短信没有得到回复。
“一个美丽的大法案”上个月在众议院以一票之差获得通过。该措施将延长特朗普2017年的减税政策，并增加军事和边境安全支出，同时对医疗补助、SNAP和其他援助项目进行一些削减。
它现在在参议院面临阻力，特别是在一小批共和党财政鹰派中。
马斯克表示，无党派预算办公室估计，这项立法将在未来十年增加3万亿美元的赤字，将破坏政府效率部减少政府支出和削减国家债务的目标。
“这家伙今天在哪里??"马斯克写道，他重新收集了另一名用户过去批评高赤字、不平衡预算等特朗普推文的汇编。
马斯克对参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩和众议院议长·迈克·约翰逊发表了类似的评论。
特朗普周四声称，特斯拉首席执行官马斯克真的很“不安”，因为该立法将取消电动汽车的税收抵免。
据两位知情人士透露，在公开反对该法案之前，马斯克亲自推动包括议长约翰逊在内的一些议员将电动汽车的税收抵免保留在法案中。
特朗普周四在椭圆形办公室说:“我非常失望，因为埃隆比在座的几乎任何人都了解这项法案的内部运作，比你们都了解。”“他知道这件事的一切。他对此没有异议。突然，他遇到了一个问题。”
马斯克反驳了X，并暗示特朗普没有说实话。
“错，这个法案从来没有给我看过一次，而且在夜深人静的时候通过得如此之快，以至于国会中几乎没有人能看懂它!”他写道。
在另一篇帖子中，马斯克写道:“随便。”
“在整个文明史上，从未有过既大又美的立法，”马斯克补充道。“这谁都知道!你要么得到一张又大又丑的钞票，要么得到一张苗条又漂亮的钞票。苗条漂亮才是正道。”
据两个消息来源称，截至目前，特朗普总统为表示对埃隆·马斯克的支持而购买的特斯拉仍在白宫建筑群中。
Trump Musk feud explodes with claim president is in Epstein files
A war of words between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump erupted into a full meltdown Thursday, with Musk slamming Trump for "ingratitude" over the 2024 election, agreeing with a call for his impeachment, knocking the president's signature legislation and even claiming Trump was in the Epstein files.
Trump, speaking on television from the Oval Office, had said he was "disappointed" in Musk following his criticism Wednesday of his "big, beautiful" megabill to fund his agenda, and then engaged in a mutual barrage of social media posts, at one point saying Musk had gone "CRAZY."
As the exchanges grew progressively personal, Musk posted, without providing evidence, about Trump and accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, "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!"
He followed that up with another post, saying, "Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out."
Trump has previously posted, "I was never on Epstein's Plane, or at his 'stupid' Island," and he has not publicly objected to the release of the files now under Justice Department review.
Trump's previous association with Epstein and the appearance of his name in an address book and on flight logs of Epstein's planes has been widely reported.
Epsteindied by suicidein his prison cell in 2019.
The public rift between Musk and Trump began in earnest with Musk's rampage against the president's domestic megabill. Musk takes issue with the bill's price tag and its estimated impact on the national debt.
Speaking to reporters at the White House earlier on Thursday, Trump pushed back on Musk in extensive remarks.
"Look, Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore," Trump said.
Musk responded in real time to Trump's personal comments on X, swiping at the legislation and at Trump directly.
At one point, Musk responded to a user: "Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate."
"Such ingratitude," Musk added. Muskspent more than $270 millionto back Trump and other Republicans during the 2024 election cycle.
Later, he reposted a comment calling for Trump's impeachment to be replaced by Vice President JD Vance. "Yes," Musk wrote in response to the idea.
The back-and-forth only escalated as the day went on.
Trump countered on his own conservative social media platform: "Elon was 'wearing thin,' I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!"
Trump said the "easiest way to save money" would be to "terminate Elon's governmental subsidies and contracts."
Musk went on to criticize not only Trump's bill but also his tariff policy -- a cornerstone of the president's economic agenda and a decades-long political goal. He claimed on X that the tariffs would cause a "recession in the second half of this year."
Musk and Trump had not spoken as of Thursday morning, according to two sources familiar with the president's conversations.
Multiple administration officials have attempted to reach out to Musk and his representatives personally, but their calls and texts have not been returned, several sources tell ABC News.
The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" passed the House last month by a single vote. The measure would extend Trump's 2017 tax cuts and boost spending for the military and border security, while making some cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and other assistance programs.
It now faces headwinds in the Senate, specifically among a small group of Republican fiscal hawks.
Musk has said the the legislation, estimated by the nonpartisan budget office to add $3 trillion to the deficit over the next decade, would undermine the Department of Government Efficiency's goal to reduce government spending and chip away at the nation's debt.
"Where is this guy today??" Musk wrote as he reupped another user's compilation of past Trump tweets criticizing high deficits, unbalanced budgets and more.
Musk made similar comments on X toward Senate Majority Leader John Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson.
Trump contended on Thursday that Musk, the CEO of Tesla, was really "upset" because the legislation would remove tax credits for electric vehicles.
Before speaking out publicly against the bill, Musk personally pushed some lawmakers, including Speaker Johnson, to keep the tax credits for electric vehicles in the bill, according to two people familiar with conversations.
"I'm very disappointed because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here, better than you people," Trump said in the Oval Office on Thursday. "He knew everything about it. He had no problem with it. All of a sudden, he had a problem."
Musk pushed back on X and suggested Trump was not telling the truth.
"False, this bill was never shown to me even once and was passed in the dead of night so fast that almost no one in Congress could even read it!" he wrote.
In another post, Musk wrote: "Whatever."
"In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that both big and beautiful," Musk added. "Everyone knows this! Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim and beautiful bill. Slim and beautiful is the way."
As of now, the Tesla that President Trump bought to show support for Elon Musk is still on the White House complex, according to two sources.
The White House declined to comment. A representative for Musk has not yet returned request for comment.
