‘Elon made mistake, he's stressed': Elon Musk's father breaks silence on his son and Trump's feud
The recent feud between Elon Musk and US President Donald Trump was led by 'a lot of stress for five months' on both sides and the Tesla CEO 'made a mistake' by publicly challenging Trump, Errol Musk, father of Elon, told Russian media in Moscow, Reuters reported. 'You know they have been under a lot of stress for five months - you know - give them a break. They are very tired and stressed so you can expect something like this,' Errol informed the Izvestia newspaper during a visit to the Russian capital. He added, 'Trump will prevail - he's the president, he was elected as the president. So, you know, Elon made a mistake, I think. But he is tired, he is stressed.' Errol indicated the row "was just a small thing" and would "be over tomorrow." Trump on Saturday stated his relationship with billionaire donor Musk was finished and cautioned there would be "serious consequences" if Musk chose to fund US Democrats running against Republicans who vote for the tax and spending bill. Musk bankrolled a huge part of Trump's 2024 presidential campaign. Trump had named Musk to lead a controversial effort to downsize the federal workforce and cut spending. Elon Musk reshared US President Donald Trump's Truth Social post attacking California leaders for the ongoing LA riots. In the post, Trump slammed California Governor Gavin Newsom, mockingly calling him as "Newscum", and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for not handling the situation in Los Angeles. He asked them to apologise to the people for doing a terrible work. 'Governor Gavin Newscum and Mayor Bass should apologize to the people of Los Angeles for the absolutely horrible job that they have done, and this now includes the ongoing LA riots. These are not protesters; they are troublemakers and insurrectionists. Remember, No Masks!' the post stated. On Sunday, Los Angeles experienced intense clashes between security forces and protesters after Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops, the first such deployment since the 1992 LA riots. He invoked a special federal law, known as Title 10, which allows the president to assume control over National Guard troops. Newsom hit out at Trump for 'unlawfully' deploying the National Guard, saying it was the responsibility of the state governor. He described it a serious violation of California's rights. 'We didn't have a problem until Trump got involved. This is a serious breach of state sovereignty - inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they're actually needed,' he said. He also urged Trump to revoke the order and return control of the National Guard back to California. (With inputs from Reuters)

'Elon–Trump rift like a broken marriage': Errol Musk says son suffering from 'PTSD from White House'
The public fallout between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has escalated into a full-blown political drama, but Musk's father, Errol Musk , believes the spat is the result of prolonged stress—and that his son made a mistake by going head-to-head with the former U.S. President. Speaking to Russian media in Moscow, where he's attending a forum backed by aides of President Vladimir Putin, Errol said Elon is 'tired, stressed, and possibly suffering from PTSD from the White House .' He urged the public to give both men a break. 'You know, they've been under a lot of stress for five months—give them a break,' Errol told Izvestia. 'They're very tired and stressed, so you can expect something like this. Elon made a mistake, I think. But he is tired.' Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Moose Approaches Girl At Bus Stop In Lam Dong - Watch What Happens Happy in Shape The feud erupted last week after Musk, a top donor to Trump's 2024 campaign and a brief appointee in the White House, denounced the administration's sweeping tax and spending bill as a 'disgusting abomination.' He later stirred further controversy by implying Trump had connections to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein—a claim he posted on his platform X and later deleted. The White House dismissed the allegation. Over the weekend, Trump appeared to cut ties publicly, saying in a phone interview with NBC: 'I would assume [the relationship is over], yeah. I'm too busy doing other things.' Live Events He also warned Musk against supporting Democrats in upcoming elections: 'If he does, he'll have to pay the consequences for that.' Despite the sharp words, Errol Musk downplayed the feud, calling it 'a small thing' and predicting it would 'be over tomorrow.' He said the tension between the two powerful figures was like a broken relationship trying to mend itself: '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.' Errol was candid about Elon's limitations in the political arena: 'He's a great tech innovator, but not a great politician. His politics is like a swimming pool with no sides and no bottom.' Meanwhile, some Russian officials have gone so far as to offer Elon asylum. Dmitry Rogozin, the former head of Russia's space agency, posted on social media: 'You are respected in Russia. If you encounter insurmountable problems in the U.S., come to us and become one of us.' As of now, neither Elon Musk nor the White House has commented publicly on the remarks made by Errol Musk or the state of the relationship.

China's exports fall to 3-month low in May, factory output's value down to 2-year low
Amid a trade war with the United States, China's exports in May fell to a three-month low and factory-gate deflation stood at its worst in two years. read more China's May exports growth slowed to a three-month low as US tariffs slammed shipments, while factory-gate deflation deepened to its worst level in two years, heaping pressure on the world's second-largest economy on both the domestic and external fronts. Exports expanded 4.8 per cent year-on-year in value terms in May, slowing from the 8.1 per cent jump in April and missing the 5.0 per cent growth expected in a Reuters poll, customs data showed on Monday, despite a lowering of US tariffs on Chinese goods which had taken effect in early April. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Imports dropped 3.4 per cent year-on-year, deepening sharply from the 0.2 per cent decline in April and worse than the 0.9 per cent downturn expected in the Reuters poll. Exports had surged 12.4 per cent year-on-year and 8.1 per cent in March and April, respectively, as factories rushed shipments to the US and other overseas manufacturers to avoid US President Trump's hefty levies on China and the rest of the world. While exporters in China found some respite in May as Beijing and Washington agreed to suspend most of their levies for 90 days, tensions between the world's two largest economies remain high and negotiations are underway over issues ranging from China's rare earths controls to Taiwan. Trade representatives from China and the U.S. are meeting in London on Monday to resume talks after a phone call between their top leaders on Thursday. China's May trade surplus came in at $103.2 billion, up from the $96.18 billion the previous month. Beijing in May rolled out a series of monetary stimulus measures, including cuts to benchmark lending rates and a 500 billion yuan low-cost loan program for supporting elderly care and services consumption. The measures are aimed at cushioning the trade war's blow to an economy that relied on exports in its recovery from the pandemic shocks and a protracted property market slump. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Deflationary pressures Producer and consumer price data, released by the National Bureau of Statistics on the same day, showed that deflationary pressures worsened last month. The producer price index fell 3.3 per cent in May from a year earlier, after a 2.7 per cent decline in April and marked the deepest contraction in 22 months, while consumer prices extended declines, having dipped 0.1 per cent last month from a year earlier. Cooling factory activity also highlights the impact of US tariffs on the world's largest manufacturing hub, dampening faster services growth as suspense lingers over the outcome of US-China trade talks.
