The Map of Rivers That Flow into the Mississippi River The Mississippi River, one of the most iconic rivers in the United States, is not just a single waterway but a vast network that connects with numerous rivers from various states. It stretches over 2,300 miles from its source in Minnesota to its mouth in the Gulf of Mexico, draining water from 31 states and two Canadian provinces. The Mississippi River’s watershed is an intricate system of tributaries that flow into the river, contributing to its immense size and power. Major Tributaries of the Mississippi River The Mississippi is fed by several major rivers that bring water from a variety of geographical regions. One of the most significant tributaries is the Missouri River , which flows from the Rocky Mountains in western North America. The Missouri River merges with the Mississippi near St. Louis, Missouri, adding a considerable amount of water to the Mississippi’s flow. Another major tributary is the Ohio River , which flows...

Trump reveals stance on Musk feud after billionaire's stunning criticism

 Trump says he's open to reconciling with Elon Musk over 'big, beautiful bill' feud

President Donald Trump says in a new podcast interview that he is open to reconciling with Elon Musk over their falling out due to Trump’s "big, beautiful bill."

"Look, I have no hard feelings," Trump said during an interview on "Pod Force One with Miranda Devine" that was published Wednesday. "I was really surprised that that happened. He went after a bill that’s phenomenal. He just — I think he feels very badly that he said that, actually."

Musk, founder and CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, Inc., who headed up Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and was assigned to trim $2 trillion from the federal government’s budget, announced he was leaving DOGE in a post on X on May 28.



The relationship between the two began souring after Musk called out Trump’s bill in a June 3 post on X, saying, "I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it." 

The two then traded fierce social media barbs, with Musk even saying Trump was in the so-called Jeffrey "Epstein files." The bill has been projected by the Congressional Budget Office to add trillions to the country's already rising $36.2 trillion national debt.



Trump’s spending bill, meant to extend his 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act as well as provide new funding for the border and defense, passed the House on May 22 and is currently in the Senate. 

Trump said that he was "disappointed" in Musk, but said things like this happen, and that he is open to mending fences.

"I guess I could, but we have to straighten out the country," Trump said when Devine asked if he and Musk could become allies again. "And my sole function now is getting this country back to a level higher than it’s ever been. And I think we can do that."

Trump made the comments on the inaugural episode of Devine's "Pod Force One."
