Trump's ‘Ice Maiden' says Musk had ‘a very troublesome ending' with US president
White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles says the rift between President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk is 'troublesome' but ultimately just a 'little hiccup' for the administration. read more hite House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has described the public breakdown between President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk as 'very troublesome' but ultimately just a 'little hiccup' for the administration. Speaking on the latest episode of Pod Force One, released on Wednesday (July 9), Susie Wiles acknowledged the high-profile fallout between the former allies. 'It was a great thing when it was a great thing' Wiles reflected on the value Musk brought to the administration in its early days, calling him 'fascinating' and praising his contributions during the presidential transition. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'He knew things we didn't know. He knew people and technologies that we didn't know,' Wiles said. 'It was a great thing when it was a great thing, and had a very, I think, a very troublesome ending.' 'The president was very generous to him, and Elon had a lot to contribute to us,' Wiles added. 'I don't understand it' — Wiles on the split When asked what caused the fallout, Wiles admitted she wasn't sure. 'I don't understand it. I don't know,' she said. 'I liked working with Elon. He's fascinating and sees the world differently. He's not like the average person—but unfortunately, things didn't end well.' Musk-Trump feud over 'One Big Beautiful Bill' The fallout began because Musk opposed Trump's key piece of legislation, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. After Trump gave Musk a warm farewell at the White House in May, the SpaceX CEO quickly went public with criticism of Trump's bill. Musk called the bill a 'disgusting abomination' full of wasteful spending, and said it would worsen the federal deficit. Trump suggested Musk was upset because the bill cut green energy tax credits, but Musk denied this. Musk's America Party The clash grew when Musk launched a new political group called the America Party. Trump brushed it off as 'ridiculous,' calling Musk a 'train wreck.'

'The Fight Continues': Linda Yaccarino Shares Post On Free Speech After Quitting Elon Musk's X
Last Updated: Former X CEO Linda Yaccarino took to social media platform to reshare a post praising her for her fight for free speech. Hours after stepping down from Elon Musk's X, former CEO Linda Yaccarino took to the social media platform to reshare a post praising her for her fight for free speech. The move came after Yaccarino, one of Elon Musk's top deputies as CEO of his X social media site, unexpectedly left the company just months after the platform was acquired by the billionaire's AI startup, xAI. Mike Benz, a former official with the US Department of State, praised Linda for fighting for free speech during the 'most acute crisis moment in world history", stating, 'She stepped up for all of us in the face of what seemed like insurmountable pressure from governments, advertisers, boycotters, banking institutions, and astroturfed lynch mobs. Thank Linda for her service and excited for her next chapter!" Yaccarino Steps Down In a surprise move, Yaccarino announced her retirement in a post on X, suggesting it was her decision, though Musk has a history of dismissing deputies suddenly. 'I've decided to step down as CEO of X," Yaccarino wrote. 'After two incredible years, I've decided to step down as CEO of X. When Elon Musk and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company. I'm immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App," she wrote in a long post on X, announcing her departure. To this, Elon Musk replied with a 'Thank you for your contributions" message. view comments First Published: July 10, 2025, 07:43 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
