It was not a good time to be up in the air for most of the day due to the intense political drama unfolding. President Donald Trump and Elon Musk engaged in a heated exchange over the “Big, Beautiful Bill,” with a lengthy back-and-forth on social media that included various posts and jabs.
Musk resurfaced some of Trump’s old posts advocating for spending cuts, prompting the president to suggest saving money by canceling Musk’s government contracts. While the online feud continued for hours, the one positive outcome was the creation of memes that circulated widely.
Despite the escalating tension, there might be hope for reconciliation. White House aides have arranged a phone call between Trump and Musk, scheduled for Friday, signaling a potential truce in the dispute between the two influential figures.
Republicans are hoping for a resolution as Musk has been a significant supporter, notably contributing to conservative messaging through his ownership of Twitter. While disagreements are natural in politics, the public and acrimonious nature of this conflict did not benefit anyone, except perhaps the Democrats who observed with delight. The upcoming call on Friday may bring about a resolution between the two parties.
