His son must make sure his rift with Trump ends immediately, according to Errol Musk Errol Musk has said that his son, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, will end up losing in his conflict with US President Donald Trump, who has the overwhelming support of the American people.The clash between the two former allies over Trump’s “Big and Beautiful” tax and spending bill escalated into a series of jabs on social media on Thursday.Musk, who stepped down as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) last week, accused the president of “ingratitude,” supported the idea of impeaching him and threatened to paralyze the US space program by decommissioning the Dragon spacecraft.Trump, for his part, said that the tech billionaire had gone “crazy” and claimed that Musk was actually upset because he “took away his EV Mandate.” Read more Trump-Musk Big Bro bust-up: Ignore the noise, focus on the signal Errol Musk told Al Arabiya on Friday that in the conflict with his son, “Trump, of course, will prevail because he has been voted in by the majority of the people in America.

It seems a bit silly to me,” Errol Musk said.Both Trump and Elon Musk “have been through a great deal of stress… You can expect this kind of thing, you know, when you are the focus of attention day and night. Eventually, people reach a point where they lash out... I think there is a bit of tiredness here,” he said, explaining the spat.
