**Trump vs. Elon**

- **Public Feud Escalates**: Donald Trump and Elon Musk's alliance deteriorated in June 2025 after Musk criticized Trump's domestic policy bill as a "disgusting abomination," leading Trump to threaten to cut Musk’s government contracts, while Musk claimed Trump’s 2024 election win depended on his support.

- **Temporary Alignment**: Amid their feud, Musk and Trump briefly found common ground on June 8, 2025, when Musk reshared Trump’s Truth Social post criticizing California officials over Los Angeles riots, indicating a momentary pause in their conflict.

**Greta Thunberg Kidnapping**

- **Israeli Interception**: On June 9, 2025, Israeli naval forces seized a Gaza-bound aid boat carrying Greta Thunberg and other activists in international waters, with Thunberg claiming she was "kidnapped" in a pre-recorded video, while Israel stated the group was unharmed and provided with food and water.

- **Trump’s Response**: President Trump commented on Thunberg’s claims, suggesting she needed "anger management classes" and questioned the kidnapping narrative, stating Israel had "enough problems" without such actions, during a phone call with Israeli PM Netanyahu.

**Los Angeles Riots and Trump National Guard**

- **National Guard Deployment**: On June 8, 2025, Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles to address protests against ICE immigration raids, which escalated into riots, against the wishes of California Governor Gavin Newsom, who called the move inflammatory.

- **Escalation with Marines**: By June 9, 2025, the Trump administration increased military presence, sending an additional 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles, as protests spread to areas like Little Tokyo, with clashes involving tear gas and flash bangs.
