Congressional Republicans on Friday urged both Elon Musk and President Donald Trump to end their public feud that escalated sharply a day earlier, with some warning that the spat could torpedo the One Big Beautiful Bill that both Trump and the GOP want passed.

Both Musk and Trump traded barbs on social media on Thursday and Friday, coming after the president broke his silence on Musk’s near-constant criticism of the bill earlier this week. It came about a week after Musk departed the Trump administration after his 130-day period as a special government employee ended.
