Did This Mysterious 'X' Account Stop Elon Musk And Donald Trump's Ugly Spat?
Last Updated:
A mysterious account was hailed as hero for possibly saving space explorations after Elon Musk exploded on US President Donald Trump and threatened to decommission Dragon aircraft.
An X account with barely any followers is being hailed as a hero for possibly helping Elon Musk cool down during his ugly spat with Donald Trump. For the uninitiated, the two powerful men had a dirty public fallout after the US President publicly criticized the world's richest man and his former pal at a White House press briefing, backing legislation that could severely impact the electric vehicle industry. Musk owns Tesla. This did not sit down well with the Teslaman for obvious reasons. Logging into the website he owns, Musk took to X and responded to the President he sounded 'ungrateful" after the techie backed Trump both strategically and financially during the 2024 US Presidential elections.
One thing led to another and Musk had a meltdown of epic proportions online for the world to witness. Several political and personal attacks were directly aimed at Trump but at some point in the day, Musk had a divine intervention.
A Shame
An X user who goes by the handle @Fab25june responded to one of Musk's (deleted) posts stating that the Tesla chief had to stop the back and forth. The unknown X user was responding to Musk's threat to 'decommission" SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft that carries astronauts and essential supplies to the International Space Station. For context, Musk's post was in response to Trump's threat to chop federal contracts with his companies.
The X user, tired of the standoff between the two powerful men, came in to save the day.
'This is a shame this back and forth. You are both better than this. Cool off and take a step back for a couple days," the user wrote.
Musk, realising that his retaliation could have a major impact on space exploration with NASA being directly affected by his actions, took a breather and called it a day.
'Good advice. Ok, we won't decommission Dragon," a humbled down Musk wrote in response.

'Saviour Of Space Exploration"
As news websites across the globe reported about Musk dropping the insane plan of decommissioning the Dragon spacecraft, folks on the X platform quietly thanked the soul for possibly saving the future of space travel.
Shoutout to this guy with 17 followers for saving space exploration — greg (@greg16676935420) June 6, 2025
'Never think your voice doesn't count," wrote one.
'Haha oh man. This is why I decided to mostly ignore today's drama and come back to see what filters out. Good on Alaska."
'This man really walked into the Elon drama like: 'Guys, stop fighting" — and they DID."
The account, for obvious reasons, experienced a massive jump in its followers count, taking them from a couple of hundred followers to over 6K in a single day.

What's Cooking?
Musk seems to have cooled down or that is what his current social timeline suggests.
'Fair enough," Musk responded to a video of Trump stating that he would look at Tesla chief's contracts and treat the tech mogul fairly.
'We'll take a look at everything. He's got a lot of money. He gets a lot of subsidy, so we'll take a look at that only if it's fair for him and for the country. I would certainly think about it yeah but it has to be fair," Trump said.

Upon being asked if he was thinking about Musk, Trump said that he was caught up with 'China", 'Russia", and 'Iraq" but wished Musk well.
Responding to the video, Musk wrote: 'Likewise".
