The nation has been stunned by the feud between Elon Musk and President Trump heating up. The two are red with rage with each other.
But a close Trump ally just went on Fox News and provided this eyebrow-raising update on the drama.
TPUSA’s Charlie Kirk Suggests Trump & Musk Will Mend Relationship
The public clash between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk has sparked a firestorm, with both men trading sharp words and financial threats. Their feud, erupting on Thursday, has left many wondering how two figures who share a vision for a stronger America could find themselves so bitterly divided. Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, offered a hopeful perspective on “The Ingraham Angle,” suggesting that reconciliation is not only possible but likely. “I actually think they’re going to reconcile at some point, though, because, deep down, I would like to believe they both want the same thing,” Kirk said. Their shared goals—economic vitality, national security, and individual freedom—should outweigh this temporary discord.
The heart of the dispute lies in a piece of legislation that Kirk described as a cornerstone of Trump’s agenda. “This was never an omnibus bill. This was not some sort of big, bloated bill. Instead, it is no tax on tips. The best border security we’ve ever seen, growing ICE agents, where ICE agents have not seen any sort of personnel increase of headcount since their original charter in nearly 20 years,” Kirk explained.
The bill also includes measures like energy independence, taxes on remittances, and asylum claim fees to fund mass deportations. For Kirk, this legislation represents a “bottom-up middle-class revolution, a blue-collar revolution” that echoes Trump’s first term. Yet, it’s this very bill that seems to have driven a wedge between the two men.
Musk, however, has denied seeing the bill, claiming on X that it was rushed through Congress “in the dead of night.” Trump countered, suggesting Musk’s opposition stems from financial motives, particularly the bill’s elimination of an electric vehicle mandate that could impact Musk’s business interests. This accusation paints their disagreement as one rooted in personal gain rather than ideological differences.
Yet, both men have championed policies that prioritize American workers and energy independence, making their public spat all the more jarring. Their supporters, who see them as titans of innovation and resolve, are left grappling with the spectacle of two allies at odds. “It’s been hard to watch today and unfortunate in some regards. And I love your take, which is both of these men deserve great credit for their contributions to help save civilization,” he told host Laura Ingraham.
Musk’s acquisition of Twitter, now X, transformed it into a platform for free expression, reshaping public discourse. Meanwhile, Trump’s resilience—facing two impeachments, legal battles, and assassination attempts—has cemented his place as a leader of an unprecedented political movement. “He was shot, almost shot again,” Kirk noted, emphasizing Trump’s unyielding commitment. Their legacies are intertwined with the fight for a freer, stronger nation.
Trump’s appointment of Musk to lead the Department of Government Efficiency after his 2024 election victory showed a willingness to harness Musk’s expertise to cut federal waste. Musk’s tenure, though controversial, culminated in moves like targeting the U.S. Agency for International Development for elimination, drawing ire from Democrats.
His exit from the role at the end of May marked the end of a turbulent chapter, but it shouldn’t erase the potential for collaboration. Both men have pushed for leaner government and economic growth, ideals that could unite them if they move past this feud. How they want to go about accomplishing that is what appears to be dividing them to the point of taking this public and litigating the matter in front of the American people.
Yet, Public feuds like this one do little but sow division among those who support their visions. Kirk’s optimism—that their shared desire for a thriving America will prevail—offers a path forward. The legislation at the center of their dispute isn’t just a policy debate but also a reflection of the values they both claim to champion, including opportunity, security, and self-reliance.
Rather than airing grievances in public, Trump and Musk could channel their energies into refining this bill to serve the nation’s interests. Their followers, who see them as architects of a new era, deserve to see them working together rather than against each other. Afterall, these are the two most popular men of powerful stature in the entire world. It’s better they are on the same page because, as their efforts have shown, they can accomplish some pretty special things.
