Elon Musk's estranged dad wades in on Trump feud with brutal comment
Elon's fatherr, Errol Musk, believes that his son's feud with Trump resembles male 'animals fighting for dominance' - and Errol has now given his verdict on who will 'win' Elon Musk 's estranged father Errol has given his verdict on the feud between his son and Donald Trump. Once Trump's right hand man, Musk left his special government position as the Department of Government Efficiency - specially set up by the President for the Tesla CEO who seemed to be longing for a top job in Washington - a week ago. The fall out between Musk and Trump has gotten out of control in just a few days, spiralling into a series of petty online fights. Donald Trump appeared to dismiss the idea of a phone call with Elon Musk this morning after their feud exploded in spectacular fashion yesterday, with the Tesla owner tearing into the US President on X. The elder Musk told The Times of London Friday that his son's feud with Trump resembled male animals fighting for dominance - but since Trump is the president of the United States, he'll 'win this round.' The Tesla CEO's father said: "In any successful group of animals, whether gorillas, elephants or human beings, the dominant males will always fight for dominance. The problem you get with really good quality people is that the men all think they should be the general. "They will have to sort it out and because Trump is the one who was elected, Elon is going to have to accept he is not going to be the general." He added: "Trump has to put things in that budget to make the Democrats vote for it. Elon saw things he didn't like and spoke up, but that should be the end of it now. Trump isn't vengeful. He will win this round with Elon and not hold it against him. "A big person can forgive easily, only small people can't. Things have gone over the top, but this is the situation when alphas fight it out. I've told Elon he has said his part, but now he must allow things to calm down - and I hope he wil." The rift between Musk and Trump started following Musk's criticism of the GOP-endorsed "Big Beautiful Bill." The controversial budget bill, feared to drastically hike the national deficit, spurred Musk to sever ties with the Trump administration in dissent. But On Thursday, Musk took things to the next level by asserting that Trump features "in the Epstein files," igniting an already fiery dispute. He also suggested that Trump ought to be impeached, proposing 40 year old Vice President JD Vance as a successor.

Yesterday Donald Trump blasted former ally Elon Musk, claiming the billionaire is "the man who lost his mind." Mr Trump told US media he was not interested in speaking to the Tesla boss following their sensational fall out. During a press phone call on Friday morning, ABC News asked the Republican about a call he had planned with Mr Musk later in the day. Mr Trump then responded: "You mean the man who has lost his mind?" The US President said he was "not particularly" interested in talking to him at the moment. He claimed Mr Musk wanted to speak to him but that he was not ready to speak to the world's wealthiest man. Speaking to CNN's Dana Bash, Mr Trump said: "I'm not even thinking about Elon. He's got a problem. The poor guy's got a problem." The high-profile fall out marks a sensational point in the Trump-Musk political alignment, with the Tesla boss having donated considerable amounts to the Republicans during and after the 2024 Presidential Election

Supreme Court leaves District of Columbia gun restriction on large magazines in place
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday left in place a longstanding gun restriction in the District of Columbia that bans magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition, opting once again to avoid taking up a new gun rights case. The court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority that generally favors gun rights, turned away a challenge to the Washington, D.C., law just a few days after rejecting an appeal over a similar law in Rhode Island. Then, the court also left in place Maryland's ban on assault-style weapons including the AR-15 semiautomatic rifle. The court expanded gun rights in a major 2022 ruling that found for the first time that the right to bear arms under the Constitution's Second Amendment extends outside the home. But the court has since frustrated gun owners by declining to take up cases that would expand upon that ruling. The District of Columbia has long been a legal battleground over gun restrictions. The Supreme Court's landmark 2008 ruling that for the first time found that people have an individual right to bear arms in self defense in their homes arose from a challenge to a D.C. law. In the latest case, four gun owners challenged the restriction on large-capacity magazines that was enacted in the aftermath of the 2008 Supreme Court ruling, saying the restriction is unlawful under the later 2022 decision. Both a federal judge and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the law. The appeals court, in a 2-1 vote, said in a ruling last year that although large-capacity magazines are arms under the Second Amendment and have been in common use for years, they can be regulated because they are "particularly dangerous." Last summer, the Supreme Court sidestepped multiple gun-related disputes soon after it issued a ruling that upheld a federal law that prohibits people subject to domestic violence restraining orders from possessing firearms. In other action on pending appeals Friday, the court decided against taking up a significant election case involving mail-in ballots in the battleground state of Pennsylvania that pitted Republicans against Democrats. The decision leaves intact a Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling that said voters who send mail-in ballots that are flagged as defective can then file a separate provision in-person ballot. The Republican National Committee was seeking to overturn the 2024 state court decision, while the Democratic National Committee was defending it.

US Supreme Court rebuffs challenge to Washington, DC's high-capacity gun magazine ban
WASHINGTON, June 6 (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Friday to hear a challenge to the legality of a restriction imposed by Washington, D.C., on large-capacity ammunition magazines in a case that gives the justices a chance to further expand gun rights. The justices turned away an appeal by four men who challenged the law of a lower court's ruling that upheld the Democratic-governed city's ban on virtually all ammunition-feeding devices holding more than 10 rounds. The lower court rejected arguments that the measure violates the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment right to "keep and bear arms."
