The fragile peace, following the social media conflict between US President Donald Trump and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk held steady, as their aides engaged in talks on Friday, according to two White House officials cited by Politico.However, one of the officials addressed Trump’s Truth Social hiatus with Musk saying, “He’s stopped posting, but that doesn’t mean he’s happy,””The future of their relationship is totally uncertain,” added the official, speaking under anonymity. Both individuals have temporarily ceased their public disagreements, which included Musk’s impeachment suggestions and Trump’s threats regarding federal contracts for Musk’s enterprises. Neither party was keen on this cessation, according to the officials familiar with both men’s sentiments.Trump was particularly irritated by Musk’s suggestion of presidential connections to Jeffrey Epstein, stating Trump was “in the Epstein files.” While Trump’s name appears in publicly available Epstein-related court documents alongside other prominent figures, no wrongdoing has been linked to Trump. However, Musk’s claim about Trump’s electoral victory depending on his support, including substantial political contributions, particularly angered the president, the officials claimed.
