Hello and welcome to today’s Minute Brief. A surprising spat has broken out between former President Trump and tech titan Elon Musk, and the so-called “manosphere” is scrambling to play peacemaker. It all kicked off when Musk tweeted—then deleted—an unverified claim that Trump was hiding “the Epstein files.” On Joe Rogan’s podcast, Rogan called the post “crazy” and even joked about taking Musk’s phone away. MAGA-friendly hosts quickly rallied behind Trump, urging Musk to fall in line. Vice President JD Vance told Theo Von’s listeners that Musk’s criticism was a “huge mistake” and warned a public feud would be “bad for the country.” Conservative commentator Charlie Kirk predicted the two would reconcile over “two scoops of ice cream and steak,” citing a Bible verse on the virtues of “peacemakers.” And on the PBD Podcast, Patrick Bet-David insisted Musk must recognize Trump as the “alpha amongst alphas” and save face in private. That’s your Minute Brief—see you next time.
