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 reelected, 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.

Their bromance is now beyond repair.

On Sunday, Trump confirmed to NBC that he has no interest in making amends: “I would assume so, yeah,” he said when asked if their relationship was over. “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.

Musk Snr 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.”

The South African businessman likened the split to a “marriage going wrong” and suggested his son was out of depth in the brutal political arena.

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’s not a great politician, he is still learning, he’s a great tech innovator and so forth.

“But his politics is, as I’ve said before, is a swimming pool with no bottom, it’s a swimming pool with no sides.

“When you’re in a swimming pool of politics, you’ve got to really know where to go.

“And he [Elon] doesn’t realise that.”

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.

“But unfortunately, he doesn’t realise that in order to get their votes in the Senate and the Congress, Trump has to do that,” he said.

“They are the only two people left in the arena… and they took to each other, which is understandable.”

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 cheekily 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.

“You are respected in Russia. If you encounter insurmountable problems in the US, come to us and become one of us,” Rogozin wrote.

Russia would offer him “reliable comrades and complete freedom of technical creativity”.

Love Island’s most embarrassing moments from Heart Rate Challenge that sparked complaints to act that left fans ‘sick’

LOVE Island has never been short of jaw-dropping antics – but some moments have left fans totally cringing.

From steamy lap dances during the infamous Heart Rate Challenge that sparked Ofcom complaints, to toe-curling scenes that left viewers saying they were “sick in their mouth,” the ITV2 dating show has served up some truly unforgettable – and deeply embarrassing – TV gold.

Over the years, Islanders have pulled out all the stops to impress – or mortify – their fellow contestants, with grinding, stripping and even role-play making regular appearances.

But while some fans are living for the drama, others were left hiding behind their pillows – or reaching for the remote.

From outrageous outfits to awkward encounters, here are the moments that had the nation gasping, groaning… and tweeting in horror.

The Love Island heart rate challenge is a firm favourite among fans and sees the Islanders put on a sexy show to get their co-stars hot under the collar.

But it was on Love Island: All Stars where viewers saw the most raunchiest version of the game so far.

Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu transformed into a cheeky devil and recreated her iconic crawl across the terrace from series eight in 2022.

But it was Curtis Pritchard‘s Heart Rate challenge that was the most hotly-anticipated, with the All Stars and viewers being sent into a frenzy.

Curtis channelled his inner King Julien from Madagascar after his 2019 Heart Rate challenge performance.

Rocking some blue shiny shorts, which were tightly fitted and left very little to the imagination, Curtis also rocked a huge feathery headdress in a blue hue.

Thrusting in the girls’ faces, twerking and moving his body seductively, Curtis then knee slid on the floor leaving his co-stars and viewers at home gobsmaked.

Ekin-Su couldn’t keeps her hands of him as she passionately snogged Curtis on the floor – as the villa boys ran off in shock.

Ekin even rubbed her man’s face into her cleavage and moved his head up and down her body.

Viewers were left watching through their fingers as the pair appeared to romp wearing barely any clothes and slammed the episode as “porn”.

The steamy moment sent social media into meltdown – with fans branding it “too much” for pre-watershed TV.

Fans were not impressed with the couple’s actions and called Ofcom.

Liberty told that Jake doesn’t love her

Fans were left cringing after a very awkward moment when the girls inadvertently told Liberty Poole her romance with Jake Cornish wouldn’t work. 

During a typically candid chat on the terrace Priya asked the group if you can come back from not wanting to rip someone’s clothes off as she discussed her relationship with Brett.

The group pretty much unanimously said it wasn’t possible – leaving Liberty looking a tad baffled.

Liberty was devastated when she was shown footage of Jake talking about her.

In scenes that left her reeling, he said: “She’s not all that.

“It’s not 100 per cent. I haven’t got the girl, that I’m like, f**k me, I want to rip her clothes off. I don’t want to fake it, do you know what I mean?”

At the time, stunned Lib asked the girls: “What does that mean he doesn’t think I’m fit?” as one said: “No, it was just early days.”

But Liberty wasn’t convinced and later told producers in the Beach Hut: “To hear that coming from your partner, saying I didn’t want to rip her clothes off, I don’t fancy her, or know if the attraction is there, it is brutal.”

Jake finally told her he loved her after weeks of waiting – but the news didn’t go down well with the other Islanders who thought he was just saying it to get her off his back.

Chloe Burrows asked Liberty: “Do you not think he’s telling you what he wants to hear?”

Liberty replied: “Is that what all you guys think? Do you think I’m being an idiot?”

Despite protests from their fellow Islanders, Liberty and Jake made it to the final – but then Liberty had doubts about their relationship and left the villa.

Charlie’s heart rate challenge

Viewers were horrified by Charlie Radnedge’s performance as a naked butler.

He stunned fans by performing a string of X-rated moves during the heart rate challenge.

He started off doing the worm dance move before awkwardly whipping off his trousers.

Unfortunately, Charlie was unable to get his butler’s trousers off in one clean move.

The estate agent stood in front of the girls in a tong and admitted he wanted to keep it “PG”.

The moment left viewers with “sick in their mouths” and called for Charlie to be “arrested”.

Arabella goes to town when smooching Danny, while Yewande – who was coupled up with Danny – said: “I think Arabella kind of went for it with Danny.”

Yewande later made a vow to up the romance with Danny after she was accused of not showing him enough affection.

After pouncing on him for a kiss, Yewande can be seen sitting on Danny as he talks to Arabella.

Talking about the incident in the Beach Hut, Arabella says: “I think literally sitting on somebody when they’re just having a chat with someone was a little bit strange. I was a bit like, hmmm okay.”

Joey Essex’s Rap

Joey just couldn’t forget about the “secret mission”[/caption]

Joey Essex performed a rap during the Love Island talent show, which garnered mixed reactions. 

He was styled in a backwards cap and wrap around sunglasses while he performed a rap he had written on his phone.

The rap was directed at his girlfriend, Jessy May Potts, and included a “secret mission” element that caused some awkwardness.

Rapping to girlfriend Jessy he said: “Jessy when you picked me for that date it was fate. With my crown on my head. But I lost the cape, Yeah. Going back in the garden was very bake but I risked it all for you girl, after the game of heart rate check it.

“I’ll tell you the truth on how I really feel I’m on top of the world and our connection is real. You’re a little sort, and you stood on some toes, as it goes.

“You’re the one for me. You’re my cup of tea. And it bringing out the best in me. I’m lucky to have you by my side. Or let it slide. It’s me and you now, baby, you’re my rid or die, Let’s go!”

As the klaxon sounded a third time, the other contestants applauded but Joey told them, “Wait, wait, wait. When I say secret – you say mission. Secret…”

There was an awkward silence and then Joey asked: “Anyone?”

And he then added: “Well that didn’t go that well did it?”

Anton thinks he’s getting picked

Anton made a huge assumption that left viewers in hysterics[/caption]

Viewers were left in hysterics after spotting Anton Danyluk’s face drop when Anna Vakili picked Sherif over him.

The gym owner thought he was certain to be picked by the statuesque beauty when she mentioned that the boy she was choosing had a really good body.

The cheeky Scotsman had made it clear he thought Anna was hot and had tried to make a play for her several times.

And standing in the line up it appeared as though he thought his luck was in as Anna stood up and started revealing the reasons why she wanted to pick this person.

Anna said: “I would like to couple up with this boy because in such a short amount of time I’ve come to really care about him.

“I feel like everytime I’m a bit down he seems to put a smile on my face.”

However it was when Anna said: “He’s got a really sexy body, which is not bad to look at as well” – that Anton broke into a wide smile.

But when Anna picked Sherif, Anton couldn’t hide his disappointment and viewers didn’t miss it either.

One wrote: I can’t stop laughing to myself @Anton thinking Anna was talking about him #loveisland

While another joked: “Dying that Anton thought that Anna was talking about him and then picked sherif #loveisland

And a third added: “Anton with the little smile, well that was awkward #loveisland”

Fans dubbed Molly as a “stalker”[/caption]

Love Island viewers were left in hysterics after Molly Marsh crashed Zachariah’s workout with new bombshell Charlotte.

Dubbing the move as “stalking”, fans watched as Molly made her way over to the gym area to watch.

Noticing the move, other islands were quick to comment on her antics.

Jess Harding in particular voiced her opinion, calling her actions “so obvious”.

Overhearing, Molly then called out Jess, telling her to “come join.”

As Charlotte walked away, Jess even pushed her to “go back”.

Taking to Twitter as the episode aired, fans couldn’t help but laugh at the tension, claiming Molly was exhibiting her partner Mitch’s behaviour.

One fan wrote: “Molly is on Mitch level crazy now”.

“Molly and Mitchell – mr and mrs unhinged”, another agreed.

A third added: “I take back what I said about Mitch 10 minutes ago… Molly is your soul mate”.

Olivia’s Casa Speech

Olivia Hawkins was called out for her double standards after she took a swipe at Kai Fagan – despite recoupling in Casa Amor herself.

She might have walked back into the Love Island villa with a new man on her arms, but Olivia’s takedown of Kai saw her come under fire from viewers.

While Kai faced a “very tough decision” when choosing to couple up with Sanam Harrinanan, he said he hoped Olivia had found a connection in the days they spent apart.

But when she walked back in with Maxwell Samuda… Olivia immediately let loose.

Olivia said: “It’s very telling, and I can’t say I’m shocked. Missing me already? Clearly not enough.”

Kai replied: “After a couple of days apart I could tell what is genuine and what isn’t… and I think I’ve got a real genuine now.”

However, Olivia didn’t miss her chance to jump in and told Kai everything he’d told her were “lies”.

Viewers watching at home called out her double standards.

Taking to X – formerly Twitter – one said: “Why is Olivia being like that? She literally recouped too.”

Another fan added: “Olivia you walk in with someone else then act shocked he done the same???”

A third penned: “Sorry… has Olivia not got a whole new man on her arm???? I’m confused.”

Mitch’s Roast

Mitch’s roast left no on laughing[/caption]

Mitch Taylor has left Whitney Adebayo fuming after making a disastrous joke about her relationship with Lochan Nowacki.

The islanders went head-to-head in the fan favourite talent show challenge in a bid to impress each other.

But unfortunately for Mitch, his “roast” skit falls flat as he ripped into Whitney and Lochan’s romance.

His big moment came after Lochan showed off his frisbee throwing skills for his talent, telling his co-stars that he “played frisbee for Great Britain” a decade ago.

Clutching at his piece of paper, Mitch said: “This is my 2023 Love Island roast.

“Whitney and Lochan, you haven’t been through a hard time just yet.

“But until you get out this villa, and them DMs start flying, them frisbee skills aren’t going to get you anywhere, son.”

Unfortunately, no one laughed.

Instead, a furious-looking Whitney muttered that the only noise in the garden is “the crickets”.

The Shaker Wall Panel Kit that Katie bought is currently available to buy on the Homebase website.

It secures easily to walls with glue, nails or screws and fits with multiple kits for longer runs.

According to the online listing, the Homebase buy comes “pre-cut, saving you time and effort during installation”.

Not only will these panel kids “add character” to bedrooms and lounges, but they will also “help you create the perfect finish in any space”. 

Whilst the kits were once priced at £34, they have since been slashed down to £28, making them perfect for those on a budget. 

Eight Easy DIY Tips & Tricks

The ultimate guide for homeowners and renters:

Katie, who has two children under the age of two, later confirmed that she completed the panelling with a lick of Dulux paint in the shade Nutmeg White.

As well as this, she then painted the top of the wall with the Dulux paint Pure Brilliant White.

Additionally, Katie accessorised the space with a cot from IKEA, an Asda teddy bear and cute wall art.

And its latest range of summer dresses does not disappoint.

With summer now upon us, and the Met Office predicting a scorcher, many of us are likely excitedly making plans for girly brunches and garden parties.

Finding a new outfit for each event can be one of the highlights of going out, however, with the cost of living crisis continuing to bite, forking out for a new frock is not affordable for many.

For those keen to look their best without breaking the bank, Sainsbury’s Floral Tea Dress is perfect for every occasion.

The dress comes in two designs, pink floral, and floral printed gingham, both priced at £26.

It comes in a wide range of sizes, from size six to size 24, and is available in store, or on the Sainsbury’s website.

Sainsbury’s said: “An elegant yet versatile piece for your summer rotation, this tea dress has been designed in a blue gingham patteren with a floral print.

“Cut to a midaxi length, it features flattering puff sleeves and v-neckline.”

The short sleeve number is a versatile piece, that would look chic dressed up with heels, and equally great dressed down with boots or trainers.

Whatever the occasion, the loose fitting design is guaranteed to make you feel beautiful, yet comfortable.

More TU Bargains

Eagle-eyed shoppers have fallen in love with Tu’s  Yellow Striped Tie Detail Midaxi Tea Dress, which is priced at £28.

Describing it online, the Sainsbury’s team say: “Perfect for summer occasions, our yellow tea dress has been designed with puff sleeves, an elasticated waist with shirred detailing, finished with a tie fastening at the neckline for a touch of elegance.

“Cut to a flattering, midaxi length. Wear with suede sandals and golden accessories.”

The dress is already sold out online so you’ll need to be quick to get your hands on it in store.

Is supermarket fashion the new high street?

DEPUTY Fashion Editor Abby McHale weighs in:

The supermarkets have really upped their game when it comes to their fashion lines. These days, as you head in to do your weekly food shop you can also pick up a selection of purse-friendly, stylish pieces for all the family. 

Tesco has just announced a 0.7 per cent increase in the quarter thanks to a ‘strong growth in clothing’ and M&S has earnt the title of the number one destination for womenswear on the high street.

Asda’s clothing line George has made £1.5 million for the supermarket in 2023, 80 per cent of Sainsbury’s clothes sold at full price rather than discounted and Nutmeg at Morrisons sales are also up 2 per cent in the past year.

So what is it about supermarket fashion that is becoming so successful?

Apart from the clothing actually being affordable, it’s good quality too – with many being part of schemes such as the Better Cotton Initiative.

A lot of the time they keep to classic pieces that they know will last the customer year after year. 

Plus because they buy so much stock they can turn around pieces quickly and buy for cheaper because of the volumes.

If you’re self-conscious about a mum tum or your upper arms, delighted fashion fans say this is definitely one for you.

One said: “Absolutely beautiful dress… even prettier in person. It’s a lovely light fabric to wear in summer and feels very flattering on my plus size body.

“The pockets are an added bonus! Very pleased with this purchase.”

A second wrote: “Bought this because I was drawn to the colour for the summer.

“Love the length of the skirt and the fit at the waist – really flattering!”
