Errol Musk Says Elon’s Feud with Trump Fueled by Stress
Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk, has broken his silence on the recent and highly publicised feud between his son and U.S. President Donald Trump. In a candid response, Errol described Elon’s outburst as a mistake born out of stress, adding that both men had been under immense pressure in recent months.
A Clash of Titans Fueled by Fatigue
Addressing the issue, Errol Musk remarked that Elon had likely made the comments in frustration. He explained that both Elon and Trump had been “under a lot of stress for five months,” suggesting the tension finally erupted into a public dispute. He called the situation “just a small thing” that spiraled into a media spectacle, pointing out that people don’t always think clearly when tired or pushed to their limits.
He added, “Trump will prevail — he’s the president. Elon made a mistake, but he’s tired and stressed.”
Hopes for Reconciliation
Despite the war of words that recently dominated headlines, Errol believes the feud is unlikely to last. He expressed optimism that the issue will blow over quickly, saying it will “be over tomorrow.” His comments appeared to reflect not just familial support but also a realistic assessment of the political and business pragmatism both Elon and Trump are known for.
The suggestion is that, while egos may clash in public, private reconciliation is not off the table. Elon Musk’s influence in both technology and public policy, combined with Trump’s political ambitions, makes their relationship strategically important — regardless of recent friction.
Fallout and Speculation
The fallout from the feud has raised questions over Elon Musk’s political alignment and the future of his companies’ relationship with U.S. regulators. Tensions between the two escalated after Elon criticized controversial policies and Trump responded with veiled threats against Musk’s ventures. There have also been murmurs about Musk forming or supporting a centrist political movement, a sign of how far the dispute has moved beyond personal grievances.
