As President Donald Trump and Elon Musk feuded on Thursday, FBI Director Kash Patel was recording an episode with podcast giant Joe Rogan, and the two reacted to Musk&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-goes-after-trump-over-epstein-files-time-to-drop-the-really-big-bomb">Epstein Files accusation</a> against Trump while the cameras were rolling.
As the fight between Trump and Musk escalated, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1930703865801810022">wrote</a> on X, “Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!” He added in a follow-up: “Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out.”
Rogan read Musk&#8217;s post as he was recording an episode with Patel that dropped on Friday.
&#8220;I&#8217;m not participating in any of that conversation,&#8221; Patel said after Rogan read the post.
&#8220;Someone should take his phone away,&#8221; Rogan said of Musk.
&#8220;Jesus Christ, that&#8217;s a crazy thing to say,&#8221; Rogan added. &#8220;How does he know? Does he know that Donald Trump is in the Epstein Files? Does he have access to the Epstein Files?&#8221;
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know how he would,&#8221; Patel replied. &#8220;But I&#8217;m just staying out of the Trump-Elon thing. That&#8217;s way outside my lane.&#8221;
&#8220;What the f*** are they doing?&#8221; Rogan asked. &#8220;I understand he owns Twitter [X]. I think it&#8217;s bad for your mental health. I think posting things public all day and arguing with people all day is bad for you.&#8221;

Musk&#8217;s Epstein Files post was the culmination of a battle between Trump and Musk that began when the president said he was &#8220;very disappointed&#8221; with Musk, rebuking his former senior adviser for criticizing the &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill.&#8221; Trump has not responded specifically to the Epstein allegation, but he did threaten to end government subsidies and contracts for Musk&#8217;s companies. Musk, meanwhile, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/musk-fires-back-at-trump-with-threat-to-pull-nasas-only-ride-to-space">threatened</a> to decommission the SpaceX Dragon capsule, which would prevent astronauts from traveling to the International Space Station. Musk later <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1930796810928599163">backed down</a> from his threat.

“I won’t be speaking to [Musk] for a while I guess, but I wish him well,” Trump told <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/politics/donald-trump-elon-musk-rift">CNN</a> Friday morning.
“I’m not even thinking about Elon,” he added. “He’s got a problem. The poor guy’s got a problem.”

Authorities in Pontiac, Michigan, likely stopped a mass shooting at a high school graduation ceremony earlier this week, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard revealed on Friday.
On Tuesday, Sheriff&#8217;s deputies were called to break up a fight at the Arts and Technology Academy of Pontiac graduation, and after arriving, were told about a shooting threat posted on social media, The Detroit News <a href="https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/oakland-county/2025/06/06/sheriff-seeks-suspect-in-foiled-mass-shooting-at-pontiac-graduation/84070198007/">reported</a>. Aided by security footage from the United Wholesale Mortgage&#8217;s Sports Complex, where the graduation was taking place, authorities discovered that two men had placed packages underneath vehicles. Both packages contained handguns with 40-round magazines.
&#8220;When you combine that with the post that had been seen, that someone planned to shoot up this graduation, in our business we call that a clue,&#8221; Sheriff Bouchard said. &#8220;These weren’t brought to be simple accessories. &#8230; I believe we probably prevented a mass shooting.&#8221;
&#8220;Just those two weapons, without changing magazines, had 80 rounds of potential firepower,&#8221; Bouchard added. &#8220;Shooting into a graduation, you can only imagine the outcome of that.&#8221;
Deputies arrested a 19-year-old suspect, but are still looking for 20-year-old Jamarion Hardiman, a person of interest in the alleged mass shooting plot, according to The Detroit News. The Snapchat post where the threat was made has been taken down, but <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/mass-shooting-thwarted-michigan-high-school-graduation-one-suspect-arr-rcna211473">according</a> to people who saw the post, it mentioned &#8220;going to shoot up the crowd,&#8221; according to Bouchard.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer <a href="https://x.com/GovWhitmer/status/1931057752744587505">said</a> on Friday that her &#8220;office has been in touch with local officials. I am grateful to first responders for acting fast and saving lives in Pontiac.&#8221;
The graduation ceremony proceeded after only two minutes of disruption, according to Septembra Williams, superintendent of the Arts and Technology Academy of Pontiac. Both of the suspects in the alleged shooting threat &#8220;have a history of being involved with weapons and violence,&#8221; and the 20-year-old person of interest is currently on probation for a previous weapons case, according to Sheriff Bouchard.
Authorities do not believe that either of the two suspects attended the Arts and Technology Academy of Pontiac, but they likely had family and friends at the graduation ceremony.
In November of 2021, Oxford High School — less than 20 miles north of Pontiac — was targeted in a mass shooting, where a teenage shooter killed four students and wounded seven other people.

Mass Shooting At Michigan High School Graduation Ceremony Thwarted By Authorities, Sheriff Says

A girls&#8217; high school softball team in Minnesota won its first-ever state championship on Friday thanks to the lights-out pitching of a boy who identifies as a girl.
The Champlin Park Rebels took down the Bloomington Jefferson Jaguars 6-0 in the 4A title game, riding the arm of Marissa Rothenberger, a boy, who pitched the entire game, giving up just two hits to Bloomington Jefferson. In the Rebels&#8217; three-game tournament title run, Rothenberger pitched all 21 innings for the team, allowing just two runs.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
🚨 BREAKING: “Marissa” Rothenberger, a biological male, just single-handedly led Champlin Park to a 6-0 shutout to win the Minnesota Girls’ State Championship.
Every single Democrat in Minnesota voted to make this insanity possible.

Champlin Park advanced to the state championship in a comeback win against White Bear Lake on Wednesday, with Rothenberger, a junior, hitting two huge doubles that sparked a rally for the Rebels, Outkick <a href="https://www.outkick.com/sports/trans-pitcher-champlin-park-white-bear-lake-minnesota-softball-semifinals">reported</a>. According to the outlet, two fathers of girls on White Bear Lake &#8220;expressed deep frustration with the system that allowed their daughters to compete against a male athlete.&#8221;
One dad specifically called out Democrats for allowing boys to compete against girls in Minnesota. &#8220;You&#8217;re looking at a whole team of future Republicans,&#8221; he said.
The Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) allows athletes to compete “consistent with their gender identity or expression in an environment free from discrimination with an equal opportunity for participation in athletics and fine arts,&#8221; according to <a href="https://www.startribune.com/why-did-us-rep-tom-emmer-single-out-a-teenage-transgender-athlete-on-social-media/601365117">The Minnesota Star Tribune</a>. In February, the Trump administration opened an investigation into the MSHSL over its transgender policy after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to protect women&#8217;s sports. Trump has gone after some states, such as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-vows-large-scale-fines-on-california-after-boy-wins-girls-track-events">California</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-sics-his-doj-on-maine-over-men-in-womens-sports">Maine</a>, threatening to cut off federal funding if they continue to allow boys to compete against girls.

The MSHSL did not respond when The Daily Wire asked if it would change its policy after Champlin Park&#8217;s state championship.
Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz has been blasted by conservatives and women&#8217;s sports advocates for allowing boys to play against girls in his state. Walz has made the transgender issue a big part of his platform, turning the state into a “<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/07/tim-walz-minnesota-trans-refuge-bill/">trans refuge</a>” and supporting life-altering gender procedures on children.
Along with leading his team to the state championship, Rothenberger also received &#8220;All-Tournament Team&#8221; honors, according to Outkick reporter Amber Harding Snyder. Rothenberger was pictured towering over the girls selected for the &#8220;All-Tournament Team.&#8221;

Rothenberger was born “Charlie Dean,” but after turning 9 years old, his mother applied to the Hennepin County District Court to change the name and sex on her child’s birth certificate, a request that was approved, according to documents obtained by <a href="https://reduxx.info/we-need-sex-screening-womens-sports-watchdog-calls-for-mandatory-sex-screening-after-male-student-uses-fake-birth-certificate-to-join-girls-softball-teams/">Reduxx</a>. Rothenberger reportedly kept his gender transition hidden from his teammates, but one of his former teammates, who spoke to Reduxx on the condition of anonymity, said that eventually girls and parents started to figure it out. Rothenberger has reportedly shared locker rooms, bathrooms, and rooms with teammates while traveling for games.

Boy Pitches Complete-Game Shutout To Win Girls’ Softball Championship

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) dismissed Elon Musk&#8217;s argument that President Donald Trump and the Republican Party would have lost to the Democrats in 2024 if not for his contributions on behalf of the GOP.
As the feud between Musk and Trump rages on, Johnson acknowledged in an interview with CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Squawk Box&#8221; on Friday that Musk had a &#8220;big&#8221; role in the GOP&#8217;s 2024 election success, but added that Trump &#8220;is the one responsible&#8221; for defeating the Democrats.
&#8220;Elon was a big contributor in the last election, but this was a whole team effort,&#8221; Johnson said. &#8220;President Trump is the most consequential political figure of his generation, of modern American history. He is the one responsible for that.&#8221;
The speaker added that he, along with &#8220;all of our House Republicans,&#8221; worked tirelessly to deliver the House for the GOP in 2024.
&#8220;We all worked hard,&#8221; Johnson said, adding, &#8220;I traveled the country nonstop. I did over 360 campaign events in over 250 cities and 40 states, and I logged enough miles last year to circle the globe five-and-a-half times. I mean, I contributed to it as well. All of our House Republicans did.&#8221;
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Watch CNBC&#039;s full interview with House Speaker Mike Johnson" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_TuaIzFT6oM?start=750&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Johnson said he still respects Musk, calling him a &#8220;friend&#8221; and crediting him for his role in the &#8220;DOGE effort.&#8221; The speaker added that disagreements over policy shouldn&#8217;t become &#8220;personal.&#8221;
&#8220;I don&#8217;t tell my friend Elon, I don&#8217;t argue with him about how to build rockets. I wish he wouldn&#8217;t argue with me about how to craft legislation and pass it,&#8221; Johnson said.
After Trump told reporters on Thursday that he was &#8220;very disappointed&#8221; with Musk over his criticism of the &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill,&#8221; the president added that he “would have won Pennsylvania regardless of Elon.” Musk quickly shot back on social media, writing, &#8220;Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate.&#8221;
“Such ingratitude,” he added.

Musk donated nearly $300 million to Republican causes in the 2024 election and was one of Trump&#8217;s biggest supporters, appearing with him on stage at some of his rallies. Trump rewarded Musk with a senior adviser role in the White House, and Musk spearheaded the effort to cut waste and spending in the federal government through the Department of Government Efficiency project. The billionaire entrepreneur became a constant companion of the president, often appearing with him in the Oval Office and traveling with him to sporting events, and in February, Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1887889037354008729">said</a> he loved Trump &#8220;as much as a straight man can love another man.&#8221;
But on Thursday, after Trump&#8217;s criticism of Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO quickly ratcheted up the tension, firing off numerous social media posts blasting the president and eventually <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-goes-after-trump-over-epstein-files-time-to-drop-the-really-big-bomb">accusing</a> Trump of refusing to release the Epstein Files because he is implicated in them.
Between posts going after Trump, Musk also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/musk-floats-creating-a-new-political-party-amid-fallout-with-trump?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Musk+Floats+Creating+%E2%80%98A+New+Political+Party%E2%80%99+Amid+Fallout+With+Trump">suggested</a> starting a new political party &#8220;that actually represents the 80% in the middle.&#8221; Last month, Musk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ive-done-enough-musk-says-he-will-spend-a-lot-less-on-future-political-campaigns">said</a> that he was “going to do a lot less in the future” in regards to campaign donations, but left the door open to jump back into the political world if he sees &#8220;a reason to do political spending in the future.&#8221;

Speaker Johnson Dismisses Musk’s Claim That He Won 2024 Election For Trump

President Donald Trump said Friday morning that he&#8217;s &#8220;not particularly&#8221; interested in speaking with Elon Musk after the massive blowup between the two former allies on Thursday.
Musk signaled his interest in smoothing things over with Trump Thursday night when he replied to an X <a href="https://x.com/BillAckman/status/1930738907081331040">post</a> from billionaire Trump supporter Bill Ackman calling for Trump and Musk to &#8220;make peace for the benefit of our great country.&#8221;
&#8220;You&#8217;re not wrong,&#8221; the Tesla and SpaceX CEO <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1930798791806050496">replied</a>.
According to <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/05/trump-white-house-aides-signal-a-possible-detente-with-musk-00391502">POLITICO</a>, White House aides urged the president to avoid escalating the fight with Musk and scheduled a phone call with Musk for Friday. Trump, however, doesn&#8217;t appear ready to take that step, <a href="https://x.com/jonkarl/status/1930953493797273708?s=46&amp;t=o-U3qwC25WnWaylJ0oeG7Q">telling</a> ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl in a phone call Friday morning that while Musk wants to talk, the president is &#8220;not particularly&#8221; interested in a discussion. Karl added that Trump didn&#8217;t &#8220;seem angry or even concerned about the feud.&#8221;
Trump <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/politics/donald-trump-elon-musk-rift">told</a> CNN Friday morning, &#8220;I won’t be speaking to [Musk] for a while I guess, but I wish him well.”
“I’m not even thinking about Elon,&#8221; Trump added. &#8220;He’s got a problem. The poor guy’s got a problem.”
Just hours earlier, Trump said he was &#8220;very disappointed&#8221; with Musk for his comments on the &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill,&#8221; sparking a back-and-forth between the two titans on social media, culminating in Musk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/elon-musk-goes-after-trump-over-epstein-files-time-to-drop-the-really-big-bomb?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Daniel+Chaitin&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=4&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Elon+Musk+Goes+After+Trump+Over+Epstein+Files%3A+%E2%80%98Time+To+Drop+The+Really+Big+Bomb%E2%80%99">accusing</a> Trump of sitting on the Epstein Files because he is implicated in them, and Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-musk-just-went-crazy-threatens-his-governmental-subsidies-and-contracts">threatening</a> to strip Musk&#8217;s companies of government subsidies and contracts.
In a Truth Social post, the president rebuked his former senior adviser, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-musk-just-went-crazy-threatens-his-governmental-subsidies-and-contracts">saying</a> that Musk &#8220;just went CRAZY.&#8221;

“Elon was ‘wearing thin,’ I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!” the president posted.
“The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts,” he added in a follow-up. “I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!”
Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114632555927229642">added</a> later on Thursday night, &#8220;I don’t mind Elon turning against me, but he should have done so months ago.&#8221;
&#8220;This is one of the Greatest Bills ever presented to Congress,&#8221; he added, referring to his &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill.&#8221; &#8220;It’s a Record Cut in Expenses, $1.6 Trillion Dollars, and the Biggest Tax Cut ever given. If this Bill doesn’t pass, there will be a 68% Tax Increase, and things far worse than that. I didn’t create this mess, I’m just here to FIX IT. This puts our Country on a Path of Greatness. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!&#8221;
Musk&#8217;s main <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-hes-very-disappointed-with-elon-musk-fires-back?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Says+He%E2%80%99s+%E2%80%98Very+Disappointed+With+Elon%E2%80%99%3B+Musk+Fires+Back">criticism</a> of Trump&#8217;s key piece of legislation centers on the federal deficit and government waste, issues that Musk believes must be immediately addressed. The Tesla CEO denied that the bill&#8217;s lack of EV tax credits played a part in his opposition to it.
“Whatever. Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil &amp; gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill,&#8221; Musk said in response to Trump&#8217;s comments.
Trump also told reporters that he “would have won Pennsylvania regardless of Elon,” a comment <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/musk-floats-creating-a-new-political-party-amid-fallout-with-trump?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Musk+Floats+Creating+%E2%80%98A+New+Political+Party%E2%80%99+Amid+Fallout+With+Trump">sparking the ire</a> of Musk, who shot back on X, writing, &#8220;Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate.&#8221;
Musk was Trump&#8217;s top campaign donor in the 2024 election, spending at least $277 million and launching an aggressive operation in Pennsylvania, a swing state Trump won by roughly 1.7 percentage points.
&#8220;Such ingratitude,&#8221; Musk added.

Musk Signals He’s Open To Speaking With Trump, But President ‘Not Particularly’ Interested

President Donald Trump continued his tirade against his former senior adviser, Elon Musk, on Thursday, posting on social media that Musk &#8220;just went CRAZY!&#8221; and threatening to strip government contracts with his companies.
Trump posted about Musk on Truth Social as the Tesla and SpaceX owner took to his social media platform, X, to call out the president for pushing the &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill.&#8221; The back-and-forth started when Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Thursday that he was &#8220;very disappointed&#8221; with Musk&#8217;s criticism of his signature piece of legislation.
&#8220;Elon was &#8216;wearing thin,&#8217; I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!&#8221; the president <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114632206992330264">wrote</a>.

Musk responded to Trump&#8217;s posts, calling them &#8220;an obvious lie.&#8221;

Musk also <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1930698593100599462">mocked</a> Trump&#8217;s threat to end the government contracts with SpaceX, writing, &#8220;This just gets better and better. Go ahead, make my day.&#8221;
SpaceX holds numerous contracts with the federal government, including for space transportation, satellite launches, and internet services. The federal government recently <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/spacex-ula-expected-clinch-multibillion-dollar-contract-key-pentagon-launch-2025-04-04/">signed</a> a $13.5 billion contract with SpaceX, along with United Launch Alliance and Blue Origin, to launch sensitive Pentagon satellites into space.

Musk&#8217;s electric vehicle company, Tesla, has also received government contracts and subsidies through the years, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/elon-musk-tesla-biden-federal-contract-electric-vehicles-donald-trump-f8f5b07d03f6e0c9d072abd69feedec4">raking</a> in over $40 million from the federal government.
The fallout between Trump and Musk stems from Musk&#8217;s belief that the president’s bill doesn’t do enough to cut waste and fraud in the federal government. He is also concerned about the &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; adding to the federal deficit. Trump said on Thursday that Musk &#8220;only developed the problem [with the bill] when he found out we’re going to have to cut the EV [electric vehicle] mandate,&#8221; a claim that Musk denied.
“Whatever. Keep the EV/solar incentive cuts in the bill, even though no oil &amp; gas subsidies are touched (very unfair!!), but ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill,&#8221; Musk said. &#8220;In the entire history of civilization, there has never been legislation that both big and beautiful. Everyone knows this! Either you get a big and ugly bill or a slim and beautiful bill. Slim and beautiful is the way.”
Just last week, Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/will-only-grow-stronger-musk-says-its-still-the-beginning-of-doge-as-he-steps-back-from-role">held</a> a friendly press conference with Musk, announcing his transition away from the White House. During the press conference in the Oval Office, Musk said he would &#8220;continue to be visiting here, and be a friend and an adviser to the president.&#8221;

The leash is off, the sarcasm is loaded, and Ben has things to say. On Episode 4, Jordan Peterson channels Allen Iverson in an Emmy-worthy BADsterpiece Theater performance, Michael Knowles recommends something Ben immediately regrets, and a game of Would You BADther goes south way too fast. Plus: JoJo Siwa ditches Pride, McDonald’s cures migraines, and you apparently need to be reminded not to bring full corn stalks to a BBQ like a real weirdo.

It’s raw, reckless, and probably not legal in Canada — only on Ben After Dark.
