Musk’s father said Elon made a mistake “under stress” and believes Trump will win

Elon Musk’s father said he is confident Trump will win their battle and blamed his son’s mistake on stress.

In Moscow, Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, told Russian media that Elon made a mistake by openly criticizing US President Donald Trump and that the recent conflict between his son and the president was the result of stress on both sides.

The conflict started last week when Musk called Trump’s massive tax and spending measure a “disgusting abomination” on social media, which led to an insulting argument between the two.

During his visit to the Russian capital, Errol Musk told Izvestia, “Give them a break. They have been under a lot of stress for five months.” “You can anticipate something like this because they are extremely exhausted and stressed.”

“He’s the president, he was elected as the president,” Errol said, expressing confidence that Trump will win out in the end. I believe Elon made a mistake. However, he is anxious and exhausted.

In an attempt to minimize the conflict, he said it was “just a small thing” that would “be over tomorrow.”

Outside of regular US business hours, neither Elon Musk nor the White House could be reached for comment.

On Saturday, Trump announced that he was terminating his relationship with Musk and threatened “serious consequences” if Musk continued to support Democrats who were running against Republicans who backed the tax and spending deal.

The richest individual in the world, Musk, contributed significantly to Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign. Musk was chosen by Trump to spearhead a contentious program to reduce federal spending and staff.
