Elon Musk and Donald Trump are reportedly set to meet amid their ongoing fallout.

Musk and Trump are thought to have been friends for some time and the SpaceX founder was part of his 2024 presidential campaign, and spoke at numerous rallies.

When Trump came back into office, he wasted no time in recruiting Musk to be part of his administration and hired him as the head of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Musk remained in the role up until very recently, and it's since then that things have turned sour between him and the president.

It all stems from the billionaire's criticism of Trump's 'big beautiful bill'. Some key parts of the controversial bill includes no tax on Social Security, and no tax on overtime and tips.

The controversial legislation was passed by the House of Republicans at the end of May and is now on its way to the Senate.

Musk had since made his feelings about the bill very clear and branded it an 'abomination'.

Clapping back, Trump said he was 'disappointed' in the tech mogul and insisted that Musk knew the ins-and-outs of the bill before his departure from the administration.

And the very public fallout has since escalated even further. Taking to Twitter, Musk dropped a 'really big bomb' and alleged that the president in the Jeffrey Epstein files, which is the reason the documentation has not been made fully public. He did not provide any evidence for his claims.

The White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the accusation, calling it an 'unfortunate episode from Elon', adding (via Sky News): "This is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill [a Republican tax and spending 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."

As things grow increasingly more tense between the pair, it's expected that Musk and Trump are set to meet with one another today (June 6).

Politico’s White House Bureau Chief Dasha Burns allegedly spoke with the president last night who divulged such information, says The Independent.

While he's issues scathing attacks on Trump, it appears as if Musk might want to call a truce for the good of the country.

Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman tweeted: "I support @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk and they should make peace for the benefit of our great country."

"We are much stronger together than apart," he added.

Replying the post, Musk said: "You're not wrong."

In contrast to this, the Tesla CEO has continued his scathing posts about Trump. In one tweet he said: "The Trump tariffs will cause a recession in the second half of this year."

In another tweet, someone suggested that Trump be impeached and replaced by JD Vance, to which Musk reposted and wrote 'yes'.
