Elon Musk has PTSD & made a mistake by helping Trump, his dad claims as he reveals verdict on what caused explosive feud
ELON Musk has "White House PTSD" and thinks he made a mistake by helping Trump get re-elected, his dad has claimed.
Errol Musk, 79, made the explosive remarks in Moscow, where he's set to appear at a Kremlin-backed forum organised by Putin's inner circle.
It comes just days after his billionaire son's high-profile alliance with the US President imploded in a fierce online feud.
The world’s richest man - who reportedly donated $288 million to Trump’s 2024 campaign and briefly served as a White House aide - has now turned on the president over his sweeping tax and spending bill.
Elon even claimed on X that Trump was tied to disgraced paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, though the post was later deleted and the White House dismissed the allegation outright.
And it appears their bromance is now beyond repair.

On Sunday, Trump confirmed to NBC that he has no interest in making amends.
When asked if their relationship was over, the president said: "I would assume so... I have no intention of speaking to him.”
Now, the Tesla and SpaceX boss is said to be grappling with regret and fatigue from his turbulent stint in Washington.
Errol told Putin-controlled media: “So at the moment, Elon is inclined to say that he's made a mistake.
“Trump will prevail. He’s the president, he was elected as the president.
“Elon made a mistake, I think, but he's tired, he's stressed."
He added: “Five months of continuous stress, continuous, continuous stress, stress, stress.
“And then in the end, it's just him and Trump left… they still don't know what to do, so they fight with each other until they can come to normal conditions.”
"They are all suffering from a bit of PTSD, a post-traumatic stress disorder over the last few months, they started hitting out at each other," the South African businessman said.
He likened the split to a "marriage going wrong".
He told Russian outlet Izvestia: “It happens in marriages, it happens in partnerships, it happens a lot.
“And people have to understand that at the moment, Elon is having second thoughts... he is still learning, he's a great tech innovator and so forth."
Errol added that Elon had been trying to "get everything right" with a recent bill, but clashed with Trump over what he saw as excessive Democratic spending concessions.
Errol's comments were made to Tsargrad TV — owned by Konstantin Malofeev, a businessman with alleged links to Russian military intelligence.
He praised Moscow, saying: “Whoever designed this city is a true genius. These majestic buildings remind me of Ancient Rome.”
He also dismissed Western portrayals of the Russian capital as "nonsense".
Errol will speak at the Future Forum 2050, organised by Malofeev and Putin ideologist and “philosopher” Alexander Dugin.
Meanwhile, Russia appears eager to capitalize on Musk’s estrangement from the US political elite.
Putin crony Dmitry Medvedev bizarrely offered to mediate peace talks between “D and E” — Trump and Elon— “for a reasonable fee and to accept Starlink shares as payment".

Another Kremlin loyalist, ex-space chief Dmitry Rogozin, publicly offered Musk asylum.
He claimed Russia would offer him “reliable comrades and complete freedom of technical creativity”.
