Korean netizens react to the Trump-Elon Musk fallout

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.
