The recent public fallout between U.S. President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has made headlines worldwide, with Korean netizens actively engaging in discussions on social media platforms and online communities.

Feud Between President Trump and Elon Musk

The discord between Trump and Musk intensified over disagreements on Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill.' Musk criticized the bill as a “disgusting abomination,” warning of political backlash and adding trillions to the already inflated U.S. national debt. In retaliation, Trump dismissed Musk's influence, stating he is focused on other issues. 

The feud escalated when Musk accused Trump of being in the Jeffrey Epstein files, alleging that the president is suppressing the release of files that include his name. 

In response, President Trump has publicly called out Elon Musk, stating that Musk "has lost his mind," and expressed his intention to sell his Tesla.

Korean netizens reaction

Korean online communities have reacted to the Trump-Musk feud.

"Elon recently criticized Bill Gates for being close to Epstein. Did you see that list? I think it wasn't released in the end. Whether it's true or not, the media will go wild."
"And people who act like this are your world leaders..."
"They're both such drama queens."
"It's a mess. Why did they even support Trump in the first place? Didn't they see this coming? They're all the same."
"China must be loving this, lol."
"My family member bought Tesla stock at its peak..."
"Let them both explode together."
"Why do the most powerful man in the world and the most wealthiest man in the world act like children (Man-Child)?"
"They both seem like narcissists, borderline sociopaths."
"Still, Musk isn't on the same level as Lee Jun Seok. You'd need someone like the Samsung chairman."
"Watching others fight is entertaining."
"My stocks..."
"This is embarassing for the United States."
"Musk posted a tweet earlier hinting at creating a third political party, lol."

"Refund me, Elon."
"Is it time to buy Tesla stock now?"
"I saw this coming. Lol."
"They broke up faster than I thought."
"Fight some more."
"These bamboozles are fighting. lol."
"Geez."
"I knew they would fight eventually, you can't contain those egos."
