Will Donald Trump ban X if his nasty feud with Elon Musk escalates? AI Guru's big prediction
The pairing of US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk , the leader of the richest country in the world with the richest person in the world, seemed a perfect match. But Musk's vociferous opposition to the president's bill, expressed on social media, touched off the two men's dispute last week and it got only worse. Amid the growing feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, an influential techie has predicted that the President will ban tech mogul's X if the tensions between the two escalates. The bromance came to an abrupt end this week in a very public and ugly way, as both men traded insults on their respective platforms.

A former Disney child star turned AI guru says the hostility could lead to a government ban of the social-media platform under national-security pretexts, reports New York Post. 'Elon's a very smart person – yet he's prone to kind of having these mood swings and going on these campaigns and tirades. I think there's only so much Elon can do before Trump is ultimately going to invoke a show of force,' Leos told The Post.

Live Events 'Musk now faces a difficult choice. He can ban Trump from X in retaliation, but that would almost certainly trigger an executive response from the White House,' Leos predicted. Leos further suggested that Trump might leverage Musk's access to classified information—or even his recent accusation linking Trump to the Epstein files—as grounds to argue that the Tesla CEO's behavior on X poses a potential national security risk. 'If there's anything related to that that could be the true, or if he is referencing something that is classified or privileged information, that could be considered a national security threat,' he said. Leos believes the legal framework for a ban already exists, and that Trump would likely invoke the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. He also thinks the spat will lead to discussions about regulating social media platforms and their influence on politics. Things spiraled quickly this week, after Musk called Trump's big, beautiful bill a 'pork-filled…abomination,' which led the president to accuse the tech billionaire of having 'lost his mind' and falling victim to 'Trump Derangement Syndrome.' Trump said Friday he has zero interest in speaking to Elon Musk amid their escalating feud. ALSO READ: Did Barron Trump predict Elon-Trump breakup?

In a phone interview with NBC journalist Kristen Welker, Trump said he had no plans to speak with Musk, calling the tech billionaire "disrespectful" to the office of the president. When asked whether he had any desire to repair his relationship with Musk, Trump said, "No." Trump has offered a range of views in his conversations over the past few days. In some, Trump has described Musk as somebody who has gone "crazy." In others, he has expressed sympathy, as if Musk were a wayward son.
