Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Donald Trump called Elon Musk a 'big-time drug addict' as his spat with the world's richest man intensified Credit: AFP It came after the Tesla billionaire linked Mr Trump to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Their feud went public on Thursday night as both men used their own social media platforms — X and Truth Social — to insult each other. Mr Musk, 53, turned on the US leader, calling his Congressional spending bill a 'disgusting abomination' on Wednesday. The President, 78, has called it his 'big, beautiful bill', but Mr Musk believes it will increase national debt by an unsustainable amount. It triggered the ugly public bust-up, with Musk calling for Trump to be impeached and accusing him of being a close associate of Epstein. Yesterday, Mr Musk deleted the post, which was seen hundreds of millions of times. The Washington Post reported Mr Trump used private calls to urge his allies not to pour fuel on the fire and told Vice President JD Vance to be cautious. But the President, whose campaign took £250million from Mr Musk, is also said to have become weary with the tycoon's alleged drug use. He called Mr Musk an 'addict' in the calls and claimed he 'lost his mind' after leaving the administration. The businessman previously admitted using ketamine, but it is alleged he became so hooked last year it affected his kidneys. Trump insists Elon Musk is lashing out at 'big beautiful bill' for personal reason as he admits he's 'disappointed' in Tesla boss Mr Musk officially left the government last week but said he would remain as a 'friend and adviser' to Mr Trump. The President last night said he had 'no intention' of speaking to Mr Musk, adding: 'I think it's a very bad thing because he's very disrespectful'.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk feud is very dangerous for the President
The political alliance between Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk has disfigured US politics. Musk helping bankroll Trump's second election victory was an example of money buying power. Being handed a job as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to cut spending was also wrong on a number of levels. It reeked of a massive favour to a donor and led to the dodgy practice of unaccountable allies of Musk cutting government programmes. But both individuals are ego maniacs and it was only a matter of time before they fell out spectacularly. Musk is unhappy at a Trump tax bill he believes will be financially ruinous. Sniping then led to Musk making the incendiary claim the president's name appears in the notorious Jeffrey Epstein files. Few things are more damaging reputationally than being linked to the late Epstein - just ask Prince Andrew. This developing feud between Trump and his former pal Musk is dangerous for the President. The Tesla co-founder has power and influence, both politically and in the corporate world, and he seems intent on doing damage. A positive step for the world would be if both men cancelled themselves out through their bickering. The US is known as a land of opportunity but we are in a situation where a small number of billionaires wield disproportionate power. People like Musk should be paying more in tax and held to account for the cuts he was allowed to make in government. Trump is already a lame duck president and Americans must look to a time when he is no longer in charge. Weapons in court The proliferation of weapons on our streets is bad enough. But it beggars belief that thousands of blades, guns and bullets have been seized in Scottish courtrooms in the last year as our investigation reveals. The motivation of those who would attempt to enter a court while armed is not clear. Do they think they need protection or is it to dish out retribution? Whatever the reason, it is vital courts are safe places for justice to be carried out without fear for anyone's safety. People should be able to expect to attend court as an employee, witness or accused without being worried about the threat of violence. Those sinister or stupid enough to believe they can carry weapons into a court of law should be left in no doubt their conduct is unacceptable. They should be hammered by the courts they seek to undermine.

Elon Musk jokes about whether he used 'horse tranquilizer' drug while spreading more Trump-Epstein rumors
Elon Musk fanned the flames of the wild claims he made about President Donald Trump being in the Jeffrey Epstein files by sharing a meme Thursday night. An X user had used the handshake meme - a screen grab from the 1987 movie Predator, at the moment a beefed up Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers lock hands. It's used to symbalize when two disparate communities come together, akin to a Venn diagram. In this case Weathers' arm was labeled 'Elon does ketamine' while Schwarzenegger's was labeled 'Trump on Epstein's list.' Together they were 'X active users' - as the internet was in a flurry Thursday and Friday morning over Musk and Trump's fiery fight. Musk shared the meme Thursday night, labeling it with a laughter and bullseye emoji. Last week, before Musk and Trump's dramatic break-up, The New York Times did an in-depth story about the billionaire Tesla CEO's drug use, including his alleged overuse of ketamine, a drug used to improve mental health, but nicknamed a 'horse tranquilizer,' as its also used in veterinary practices. During Musk's Oval Office send-off on Friday, the departing DOGE leader brushed off The Times' report, by claiming the newspaper was wrong about 'Russiagate.' The billionaire Tesla CEO shared the handshake meme where people thinking 'Elon does Ketamine' and 'Trump on Epstein's List' came together on his platform X, the site formerly known as Twitter Trump grinned and laughed as he watched Musk's display. Less than a week later, Musk was making the daring claim that the president was 'in the Epstein files.' 'Time to drop the really big bomb,' Musk posted to X. '@RealDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public,' Musk wrote. 'Have a nice day, DJT!' Epstein is a serial child sex offender who died in prison in 2019. Trump pledged to release the files related to Epstein, with Attorney General Pam Bondi releasing some pages in February, but most of that information was already in the public domain. 'Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out,' Musk added. Asked for comment, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the Daily Mail in a statement: 'This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted.' 'The President is focused on passing this historic piece of legislation and making our country great again,' Leavitt added. Trump didn't directly respond to Musk's Epstein charge, instead posting what amounted to a shrug on Truth Social, while also continuing to back the 'big, beautiful bill.' 'I don't mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago,' Trump wrote. 'This is one of the Greatest Bills ever presented to Congress.' Later he ignored shouted questions from reporters on Musk's Epstein charge as he hosted the National Fraternal Order of Police executive board in the State Dining Room. A source familiar pointed out to the Daily Mail that 'everyone knows President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his Palm Beach Golf Club.' 'The Administration itself released Epstein files with the President's name included. This is not a new surprise Elon is uncovering. Everyone already knew this,' the source continued. The source also mused, 'If Elon truly thought the President was more deeply involved with Epstein, why did he hangout with him for 6 months and say he "loves him as much as a straight man can love a straight man?"' Musk kept on going through much of Thursday, using a raised eyebrow emoji to highlight an X post that detailed a quote Trump once gave on Epstein, who was found to be a serial pedophile. Musk used the same emoji and shared a clip from MSNBC that showed a 1992 party that both Trump and Epstein attended. The handshake meme came even later Thursday night.
