Amid President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s bitter online war of words, key posts have been deleted from social media.
The most divisive post from Musk alleged that Trump is listed in the files related to the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and that this is why they have not been fully released to the public.
Musk made the allegation on Thursday, in a post shared on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter).
But as of early Saturday morning, Musk’s Epstein-related post was no longer showing, with X users instead receiving a notice that reads: “Sorry, that post has been deleted.”
And it’s not the only post of Musk’s that has been deleted. Another inflammatory post from Thursday, which saw Musk respond “yes,” endorsing a message that said “Trump should be impeached” and that Vance “should replace him,” is also no longer viewable on X.
The deleted posts suggest that the explosive feud between Trump and his one-time ally could be thawing.

Musk’s original posts came as Trump also lobbed insults and threatened to take away government funding and contracts related to billionaire Musk’s Space X company.
Although things appear, for now, to be simmering down, Trump has made it clear he does not have plans to reconcile with Musk.
When asked on Friday night by reporters if he intends to speak with Musk—who until recently lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—the President gave a clear response.
“No I don’t have plans… I’m not even thinking about it,” Trump said on Air Force One. “I’m not really interested in that, I’m really interested in the country, and solving problems.”
However, when asked if he plans to take back the symbolic White House key that he gifted to Musk, Trump said that he has no intention of doing that.
“I don’t take things back, I gave him a key, he tried very hard,” the President told reporters, praising the efforts of DOGE.

Trump also appeared to defend Musk against the New York Times’ reported allegations that the Tesla CEO regularly consumed ketamine, ecstasy, and psychedelic mushrooms when traveling with Trump on the campaign trail in 2024.
“I don’t want to comment on his drug use. I don’t know what his status is,” Trump said, when asked by reporters if he had concerns. “I read an article in the New York Times. I thought it was, frankly, it sounded very unfair to me.”
Trump’s Air Force One remarks, issued late on Friday, came hours after he told ABC News that Musk had “lost his mind.”
