Elon Musk has ‘PTSD from the White House’ and believes he ‘made a mistake’ by helping Donald Trump get reelected, his father has claimed amid an explosive feud between two of the world’s most powerful billionaires.
Errol Musk, 79, was speaking in Moscow where he is due to speak at a forum organised by Vladimir Putin’s closest aides just days after a fiery row between his son and the US President spectacularly combusted.
The world’s richest man, who donated millions to Trump’s election campaign and became a White House aide has gone to war with the US President over his sweeping tax and spending bill.
The tech billionaire also claimed Trump appeared in files relating to disgraced paedophile Jeffrey Epstein in a post on his social media platform X as the pair traded blows in a sensational public row.
Musk gave no evidence for the claim, which has since been deleted, and the White House dismissed the allegation.
On Sunday, Trump said his relationship with Musk was over and rejected the idea of repairing their relationship.
As the fallout continues, Musk Snr arrived in Moscow to speak at a forum after key Kremlin associates offered political asylum to his son in the wake of his row with Trump.
Does Elon Musk has PTSD?
The South African businessman said there was PTSD in the White House, while also likening the ugly breakup to a marriage going wrong.
He told Putin-controlled media: ‘So at the moment, Elon is inclined to say that he’s made a mistake.’
Musk Snr said of the fallout: ‘Trump will prevail. He’s the president, he was elected as the president.
‘Elon made a mistake, I think, but he’s tired, he’s stressed.
‘Five months of continuous stress, continuous, continuous stress, stress, stress.
‘And then in the end, it’s just him and Trump left… They still don’t know what to do, so they fight with each other until they can come to normal conditions.’
