Vice president JD Vance urges Musk to ease tensions with Trump

    
• U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance expressed criticism toward Elon Musk due to the dispute with the American president.
• According to him, Musk attacking Trump is a serious mistake, and this conflict would not be good for the country or for the billionaire himself.
• On Saturday, American media reported that controversial posts from Musk's account on the X platform disappeared, including insinuations about Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.

"I think it’s a huge mistake for him to go after the president like that," Vance said in an interview with podcaster Theo Von, which was published on Saturday.

Vance declared his loyalty to President Trump and expressed hope that Musk "will eventually come back to his senses." "Perhaps it's not possible now because he's in a frenzy," he added, emphasizing that "Musk is new to politics."

"If Elon chilled out a little bit, everything would be fine," Vance said. According to media reports, Trump reportedly asked Vance to speak diplomatically about the billionaire.

Meanwhile, American media noted the removal of a post from Musk's account on the X platform, where he insinuated that Trump and Jeffrey Epstein exploited underage girls together.

There was a sharp exchange of words between Trump and Musk, who recently ended his work for the White House as head of the Government Efficiency Department, on Thursday. Earlier, Musk called the presidential budget bill proposal "a disgrace."

Trump admitted that he doesn't know if he will still have a good relationship with Musk and declared that he is "very disappointed" with him. He also stated that Musk "went crazy" and suggested that he might terminate the contracts between the American government and Musk's companies.

Meanwhile, the billionaire published a series of posts attacking the proposal and, among other things, suggested that Trump won the election thanks to his support, and that the U.S. needs a new political party.
