### Elon Musk Deletes Controversial Posts About Trump Amidst Escalating Feud

Elon Musk has erased some provocative posts from his social media platform, X, where he had amplified his ongoing feud with President Donald Trump. As of Saturday morning, certain posts that included serious allegations against Trump were no longer accessible, though the reasons for their deletion remain unclear.

One of the now-missing posts controversially claimed that Trump was mentioned in files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. This accusation from Musk, which has been disputed by the White House, signifies a significant escalation in the public spat between the tech magnate and the former president. Visitors to the online platform X, where Musk's post was once published, are now greeted with a message stating, "Hmm... this page doesn't exist."

The tensions between Musk and Trump have intensified recently. As late as Thursday, Musk responded affirmatively to a user who called for Trump's impeachment and suggested Vice President JD Vance as his replacement. This particular post was also removed by Saturday morning.

Further stoking the flames, JD Vance, in a Friday interview with comedian Theo Von, remarked that Musk's attacks on Trump were a "huge mistake," attributing them to Musk's emotional temperament.

While the exact motivations behind Musk's decision to delete these posts remain unclear, his recent actions underscore the rapidly deteriorating relationship between the two high-profile figures. Once mutual admirers, the rift between Musk and Trump seems to have widened significantly in the wake of policy disagreements and public exchanges of criticism.

Musk’s accusations were sharply rejected by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who attributed Musk's dissatisfaction to his opposition to Trump's legislative plans. According to Leavitt, Musk's allegations were an "unfortunate episode" linked to his discontent with the policies excluded from the "big, beautiful bill" championed by Trump. The ongoing clash between Musk and Trump continues to unfold, capturing widespread media attention with its dramatic turns.
