It's the latest twist in the public spat between Elon Musk and President Donald Trump that escalated this week.

Elon Musk has appeared to delete some of his posts on his social media platform X that escalated his bitter feud with President Donald Trump this week.

One post, no longer available as of Saturday morning, accused Trump of being mentioned in "files" of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Musk's accusation, which the White House has disputed, marked an escalation in the public spat between the men.

"Hmm...this page doesn't exist. Try searching for something else," said the X page that once displayed Musk's post.

On Thursday, Musk also responded "yes" to a user's post that called for Trump to be impeached and replaced with Vice President JD Vance.

That post was also no longer available as of Saturday morning.

In an interview on Friday with "manosphere" comedian Theo Von, Vance said Musk was making a "huge mistake" going after Trump, while attempting to downplay the billionaire's attacks as an "emotional guy" who got frustrated.

It was not immediately clear why Musk deleted the posts. The White House did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment.
