Billionaire investor Bill Ackman intervened in the public feud between President Trump and Elon Musk, calling for a peaceful resolution via social media. The conflict arose as Musk accused Trump of various wrongdoings, while Trump retaliated by threatening Musk's business contracts. Ackman highlighted the importance of unity among powerful figures like Trump and Musk for the benefit of the nation. Despite Musk's responses seemingly leaving the door open for reconciliation, the incident signals a significant fracture in their previously strong alliance.
I support @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk and they should make peace for the benefit of our great country, he wrote. We are much stronger together than apart.
Musk's tirade continued, accusing Trump of fiscal recklessness, calling for his impeachment, and even hinting at the formation of a new political party.
Trump, for his part, responded in kind threatening to strip Musk's companies of lucrative government contracts and labeling the mogul as having gone crazy.
Despite the hint at a possible impending truce, with a reported call planned between the two Friday, the blow-up marks a dramatic rupture in the MAGA-tech alliance.
