Elon Musk’s Secret Past Causes Surprising Advice for Trump During Wild Friendship Fight
Elon Musk and Donald Trump: From Friends to Rivals
How Elon Musk and Donald Trump Became Friends
Elon Musk and Donald Trump were once very close. They often worked together and liked each other. When Donald Trump became the President of the United States, he wanted to make the government better. So, he asked Elon Musk to help him.
Elon Musk was given a special job. He became the head of the Department of Government Efficiency. People called it DOGE for short. Musk's job was to help the government spend money wisely and not waste it. He could work in this job for up to 130 days each year.
At first, things went well. Musk and Trump worked as a team. They wanted to cut waste, save money, and make the country better. They even called each other “first buddy” because they were so close.
Trouble Begins Over the “Big Beautiful Bill”
But soon things started to change. President Trump wanted to pass a new law. He called it the “Big Beautiful Bill.” This bill was very important to him. It included more money for defense and a new plan called the “Golden Dome” to protect America from missiles. It also had big tax cuts.
Elon Musk did not like this bill. He thought it would make the government spend too much money. He was worried it would hurt the work he was doing at DOGE. Musk said, "I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decrease it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing." He also said, "I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful... but I don't know if it could be both, my personal opinion."
President Trump did not like Musk’s comments. Trump said, "I'm very disappointed, because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here." But Musk said this was not true. He wrote on X (which used to be Twitter), "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!"

A Public Fight and Hard Feelings
After that, the friendship between Musk and Trump started to break. Musk left his job at DOGE three days early. He announced it on X. Musk wrote, "As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending. The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government."
President Trump did not say much at first. But then, he posted a message on Truth Social. It showed a picture of Trump walking in the dark. The caption said, “He’s on a mission from God & nothing can stop what is coming.” Later, Trump said in a press conference, "This will be his last day, but not really, because he will, always, be with us, helping all the way. Elon is terrific! See you tomorrow at the White House."
Ashley St. Clair Shares Breakup Advice
While all this was happening, a woman named Ashley St. Clair started talking about Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Ashley is believed to be the mother of one of Musk’s children. She is an influencer and a writer. She posted a message to President Trump on X. She wrote, "Hey @realDonaldTrump lmk if u need any breakup advice."
Ashley said that she and Musk started talking in May 2023. She said Musk “slid” into her DMs, which means he sent her a private message online. Soon, they started a romantic relationship. In September 2024, she had a baby boy, who people call RSC.
Ashley said Musk stopped talking to her in February. She said this was the day before she told the public about their baby. Musk said he did not know if the baby was his. He wrote, "I don’t know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out. No court order is needed." Musk also said he sent Ashley $2.5 million and gives her $500,000 a year.
Ashley disagreed. She said, "Elon, we asked you to confirm paternity through a test before our child (who you named) was even born. You refused. And you weren’t sending me money, you were sending support for your child that you thought was necessary… until you withdrew most of it to maintain control and punish me for 'disobedience'. But you’re really only punishing your son."
She also said, "It’s ironic that your last effort in court was to try to gag me while you use a social media channel you literally own to distribute derogatory messages about me and our child to the entire world. It’s all about control with you, and everyone can see it."
White House Speaks About the Musk-Trump Fight

The fight between Musk and Trump got so big that the White House had to talk about it. Karoline Leavitt, who is the White House Press Secretary, spoke to the news. She said, "This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted. The President is focused on passing this historic piece of legislation and making our country great again."
On Fox News, Leavitt said, "Just days ago, Elon thanked the president for his incredible leadership to cut waste and fraud in our government, which this one big beautiful bill does." She also said, "The only difference between Friday and today is Elon went back to his companies and as a businessman, he has a right to speak for his companies, but as president, President Trump has a responsibility to fight for this country."
Leavitt called the bill, "the most historic piece of legislation that has moved through Capitol Hill in modern day history." She said the bill gives the largest tax cut for middle class and working class families. It also keeps the tax cuts from 2017 and delivers on President Trump’s promises.
Elon Musk Accuses Trump About Epstein Files
The fight grew even bigger when Elon Musk made a shocking claim. He said President Trump was in the Jeffrey Epstein files. Epstein was a rich man who got in trouble for crimes. He died in jail in 2019.
Musk wrote on X, "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 said in another post, "Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out." Musk did not show any proof for this claim.
The White House answered back. Karoline Leavitt said this was an “unfortunate episode” and that President Trump is working to help the country.
A Closer Look at the “Big Beautiful Bill”
The “Big Beautiful Bill” is a very big part of this story. President Trump believes this bill is good for America. The bill has more money for defense to keep the country safe. It includes a special shield called the “Golden Dome” to stop enemy missiles. The bill also gives big tax cuts, especially to families.
But Elon Musk did not agree. He thought the bill would make the government spend too much. He worried it would hurt the plans he started at DOGE. The bill could increase government spending by $600 billion next year.

Even though Musk was not voted in by the people, he worked with Trump to help the government become simpler. Musk and another helper, Vivek Ramaswamy, wanted to cut jobs that were not needed and save money.
Their plan was to finish their work by July 4, 2026. President Trump wanted to, "dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies." The team made big changes. They removed some programs and made big cuts in the Department of Education.
Goodbye Messages and Last Words
When Elon Musk left his job, he thanked President Trump. Musk wrote, "As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President @realDonaldTrump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending. The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government."
President Trump also had kind words. He said, "I am having a Press Conference tomorrow at 1:30 P.M. EST, with Elon Musk, at the Oval Office. This will be his last day, but not really, because he will, always, be with us, helping all the way. Elon is terrific! See you tomorrow at the White House."
Trump later told reporters, "Look, you know, I've always liked Elon, and it's always - very surprised. You saw the words he had for me, the words and he hasn't said anything about me, that's bad." He added, "I'd rather have him criticize me than the bill, because the bill is incredible. Elon and I had a great relationship, I don't know if it went well anymore."
